Big MCACN Announcement; Calling Yenko Enthusiasts

[1969z280]

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: markus37</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> Certainly did not intend to cause consternation ! The car is a Stinger, still actively raced in Vintage ( fast lap in group @ MidOhio, Watkins Glen, Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix @ Beaverrun , etc. ) Fast time by vintage sports car at Hershey Hillclimb in 2004. Pennsylvania title dated 1/2/67 . Restored by me in 1995, safety equipment updated, legal 1966 engine built by Warren Dernoshek, chassis race prepped by me. For those interested, I hope to have my next book available at the show, which will include detailed history of the Yenko ZL 1 program, among other things. </div></div>

Mark,

I can't wait to see your car at MCACN! Too Cool! Oh yeah, and welcome to the site. Ed

What is the Yenko count so far?

I haven't been here in a few years, but thought I'd stop in again. I thought of this site when I was downstairs digging out old Yenko collectibles. I've located many older release 1:64 &amp; 1:18 die cast, plus some Yenko memorabilia purchased at that auction at the very 1st Yenko Reunion (1998) in Henderson, TN at the Holiday Inn. What a neat weekend that was. Anyway we have participated in MCACN for the last 4 years now in the swap meet/collectible area, and what a show it is. Always love love love it. Wish I still had the real one though...

Approaching 40 cars that have <span style="font-style: italic">officially</span> registered, with at least 10 more who have told us they will be joining us. Going to be an absolutely incredible gathering!

Great to have you back on the site, Jim and thanks for your continued support of the MCACN show.

Jim has signed up again to vend with us in his usual spot in our swap area, against the far wall up front. Be sure to stop by his display and check out all the great stuff he has. For anyone who doesn't know already, Supercar Collectibles deals in very select limited edition die cast replica's, many that are exclusive. In other words...he has the &quot;good stuff!&quot; [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

&quot;Meet the Mean Ones in Chicago&quot; update;

As of today, we have 45 real-deal documented authentic Yenko Super Cars, Yenko race cars and Yenko sold vehicles <span style="font-style: italic">officially</span> registered, along with TWO cool memorabilia collections and of course, the lovely Dr. Lynn Zoiouppulos.

Close your eyes for a moment and picture that! Whew....

If you own a Yenko vehicle, whether restored, original, in progress or even rough, (as long as it is the real thing), please sign up <span style="font-style: italic">today</span> to be a part of history in the making that may never happen again.

THANKS;

Thanks Bob. We really do try to have the good stuff. I've dug out some of my own personal items to bring to this show, in addition to 1:64, 1:43, 1:20, and 1:18 diecast, I'll have a couple porcelain Yenko Camaro's (9&quot; and 12&quot plus Don Yenko's off white dinner jacket he was married in, his Army-Air Force green uniform jacket with a couple of patches, and a shirt-jacket type item that was signed by many of his friends at a college graduation / frat party / reunion type event. Really a unique piece, with sayings, notes, signatures, many drawings on it, even Hope signed it. Like Bob said, back in the corner of the swap meet, right next to where some people exit the swap meet to get to the hotels. Stop by and check us out.

Now a short story... When I read there is to be 7 of the 8 Pontiac Trans Am convertibles ('69's) it brought back some memories, as that's what this is all about - right? In 1980-81? area I was at the Car Craft Street Machine Nationals walking the showfield. I come upon a '69 TA, stop, pull out my camera, focus, and when looking through the lens to get the best photo I can, I notice a matching convertible - in the background. Wow, never seen one before! So I stopped, didn't take the photo, walked around both cars, stopped again, took a photo of the convertible - with the coupe in the background... Something obviously I'll never forget. I can't wait to maybe see the exact same car again... and looking very much forward to it.

I am finalizing the MCACN 2012 floorplan, and we are now up to an incredible 55 Yenko automobiles that have signed up to be a part of this history making gathering. I will publish a list of the cars, but let me tell you...we have ALL the bases covered!

Also of note; we have again surpassed the 500 car mark, with over 75% coming in to the Chicago area for the very first time.

We have a few more swap meet area spots, ($100 each) and about 8 car corral spots ($100 each) remaining before we are officially sold out across the board.

Whew! Our goal to once again &quot;raise the bar&quot; is absolutely guaranteed, no matter what brand you lean toward, and the overall balance between makes and models is the best ever.

THANKS to everyone who continue to allow us to make our dreams reality!

You are killing me, Bob. It's the opening weekend for the new Formula One track here in Austin that weekend and I probably won't be in Chicago for the great MCACN event. My house will be full with race fans from all over. Stop promoting this event, every time I get an email, my heart sinks. I just found out that the '69 HO convertible will be there. How can I be in two places at once.......... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/crazy.gif[/img]

Oh and by the way...56...57...58 Yenkos! And did I mention to 40 that are confirmed for our Aero Warriors display?
