Yenko-Wildfire Garage, Making F-15s with license plates

welcome to Yenko-Wildfire's Custom Classic Cars Garage

When resto-mod work began at the Yenko-Wildfire Garage 54 years ago, some felt vintage cars were being ruined. Today, such procedures are becoming common and popularity of resto-mods is rapidly spreading among auto collectors.

Yenko-Wildfire staff began offering resto-mod options even before the phrase was coined by Craig Jackson, president of the Arizona-based collector car auction company of Barrett-Jackson.

Our garage recently created the 1957 Yenko-Wildfire Commemorative Corvette, which demonstrates a prime example of resto-mod restoration.

Staff here calls this car an F-16 with a license plate. It is undoubtedly the most beautiful ’57 ‘vette ever built! Taken out of storage after 38 years, the body was meticulously refreshed to a much better than new state. Corners, gussets, joints and panels have been reinforced with steel and glassed over to make the body better than a new ‘vette. Our goal at Yenko-Wildfire was to blend "state-of-the-art" with true "automotive art."

Features of this vehicle include:

One of only 143 new LS7 505 hp engines built for non-assembly line use.
Original 1957 Corvette body with both soft top and hardtop.
Chassis #5 of 12 from the chassis guru himself, Art Morrison.
GPS, DVD, air conditioning, electric/hydraulic doors and hood.
Ostrich leather and much, much, much more!
Reinforced rear fender flares of 3.5" unique to this car alone.
Tremec TKO 5-speed and Strange Engineering rear housing.
Over $15,000 in chroming polishing and powdercoating.
C5 Suspension with oversize Wilwood Brakes.
Paint and body by renowned artists Bobby Wiles and Chad Woodard.
Build by Ridler Award guru Archie Carlini.
Over 3,300 hours in the build.
Over $325,000 invested and a market-weighted appraisal of $325,750.

This car has it all-from its 50-year track record to the ultimate combination of value, features and state-of-the art components.

The vehicle comes with a 1-year/unlimited mileage warranty. We would like to take it to our shop for perfecting, then deliver it FREE to anywhere in the world.

Making resto-mod choices is simple. Pick a car, pick a modern engine, add a 2007 chassis, handling and the latest technology out there. You end up with a magnificent blending of "true automotive art and state-of-the-art."
