Some of the comments about this super rare AFX Tempest just make me laugh. On the Yenko site, more than any other site I can think of, has more super rare expensive cars in one place, yet we have people talking smack on this car. One of six! I have seen project Yenko's sell for more than this car all the time. And there are plenty of Yenko cars compared to the Tempest. A Yenko Camaro is basic Camaro other than a few small items. But this Tempest like most of the full on Factory Drag Cars of that era, are amazing feats of engineering. From the rare aluminum body parts, transaxles, special hi-po engines that never made it into production cars,etc this car seems like a bargain. I for one love the idea it will get restored to its former glory, by one of the best in the business. This may be the find of 08'..BKH

I have not talked to Stan since the auction ended.Question how the front end from a Michigan was in West Virginia and then sold by someone in Ohio to someone in FLA around 1979.Also if he ever blew up the original motor now rummered to be owned by someone.Still lots of unanswered stuff to unfold.And yes this car should be spoke in the same breath as the likes of a 69 T/A convert.There were actually 8 coupes but 6 white "production" cars.Tom
