Happy Sunday, Mike!

The best one this week is the green C2 convertible. Runner-up has to be the three yellow Corvettes parked together.

Congrats to all of the new Corvette owners!

I really enjoy looking at the flashback pics - lots of very cool cars and memories there.

Here's a funny story...in the end Yugo had a special promotion...Buy one get one free. $3,995!
This must have been in the 1986/87 time frame.

The Yugo actually made me less ashamed to have once driven a Chevy Chevette. Yes, we had two of them in our family. Even though the Chevette got a bad rap, I never did see one with rust (unlike other cars of that vintage) and the fuel economy was very good.

Wouldn't it be fun to put a Corvette V8 into a lightweight vehicle like a Chevette?

nice weekly sales & great series of pics Mike, and the old Yenko showroom/dealership---wow. Amazing the sign/banner hasn't been stolen from there, bound to be worth a bundle to a collector.

Default Stellar week of sales and deliveries

I too received the Mike Furman-Criswell email blast regarding Harry Criswell’s 2019 ZR1 vert for sale. Loaded to the gills. Wanted to pull the trigger, but was in the midst of doing a long distance deal on a 2019 Turbocharged and Supercharged SUV from Sweden, with the help of Mike Furman at Criswell and Nick Pliaconis of Plycar. A CF thread on that awesome experience coming soon!

With the convertible top down and the tonneau cover not yet in place, a couple of pics of Mr. Criswell’s Sebring Orange ZR1 for sale look like...... a second (Orange) rear wing!

So, there actually were Yugo’s offered on a BOGO!

Such a deal!!!

Just think, the 12,000 plus new cars Mike has sold since 1978...... include untold numbers of Yugos!

The present day Yenko banner is a strange sight...... sitting atop the original building.
