The Yugo came out with a van several years ago., It was called "Wego."

Coming down to the last week of the contest....stil time to enter. All Yugo operations stopped several years ago........

From what I have read 140,000 were sold in the USA. I think 90% of them are no longer with us on the highways.

That 90% is around Dennis. Recycled into new "pieces of junk". LOL

Here are the remains of a Yugo in one of the U Pull It Yards I visit. Parts must be in demand as this example is fairly stripped.

Thanz to Mr AMC Guy for posting for me!

Special thanz again to Mr AMC Guy who posts all my photos. Here is the single one page flyer that hypes the all new 1990 Yugo Cabrio which I surmise is a fancy word in the Yugo language for convertible. One side gives all the exciting specs such as 0-60 times in 12.4 seconds and the other side shows the actual car.

Few days left of the contest.

Thanz....to Mr AMC Guy for his posting for me. I had this cartoon done years ago never used it in the Buick newsletters. Shows of course a Yugo caption would read: Real reason the Yugo has a rear defroster is to keep your hands warm when you gotta push it in the winter.

I wonder if the winner of the Yugo convertible would be interested in purchasing this original art work?

car goes through later on Thursday. Pretty much lost in a sea of other dogs.

$9995 but I'm not sure where to put the decimal.

Still time to enter...I did see a blurb maybe on yahoo news where they have a group of oddball cars the Yugo being one of them. Perhaps from the same collector. Oddball is one thing but the Yugo as most would agree is more of a disaster than an oddball. I think one of the others is the BMW Isetta and another is one of those cars that goes in the water.....either one of these should easliy out distance the Yugo convertible I would think however at Barrett-Jackson all logic goes out the window when they crank up the hype.

Interesting enough at least for me personally is last year they did mention my company specifically when either a GN or GNX went thru the auction. I even got to hear it on live TV.

I am sure someone will post the selling price once the Yugo crosses the auction.
