Vehicle Description
Rarely do you get a chance to own an icon. After all, how many other cars have you seen that had their own custom 1:25 model? This 1967 Chevrolet Coupe Coca-Cola Vending Machine Street Rod is a unique vehicle ingrained into the custom car culture. So we'll try to describe all the details on this one, but you already know it will take weeks to understand how much went into this build.
Glen Yeary and Steve Tansy were responsible for this custom creation, and Yeary is currently offering it for sale. The model year 1967 is just a reference for the build start date because nothing on this is stock. The '67 reference was just when Yeary and Tansy were provided the two real Coca-Cola vending machine doors. They were the centerpiece for a three-year full-custom build project. Taking extra time in the custom fabrication is how you get a coupe this detailed. You'll notice something new every time you look at it, like the tap on the radiator, bottle openers on the sides, or the pinstriping extending to the underside of the custom channeled cab. It has the best hot rod pieces of the day, like Cragar SS wheels, Goodyear Blue Streak tires, and a polished drop-axle front end. You can tell the overall level of detail was truly award-worthy. They even dyed Coca-Cola bottles red to be used for tail lights. The car went on tour, including the International Championship Auto Shows. Plus, Coca-Cola was happy with the project and used it for promotions for years (after all, the "Classic" part seen in the front only came after the New Coke debacle about two decades after this was built!) And you can still find the MPC 1:25 scale model kit on eBay today. Yeary even jokes that he wishes he had kept a few more of the dozens he gave out at the shows because they are valuable today.
Not only was a full custom cab built for this hot rod, but the interior continues to showcase the beautifully distinct style. The seat bottoms are crafted from Coca-Cola crates, the plush velour seats have twist-off Coke bottle caps for buttons, and the windows have a Caramel-colored style that reminds us of a cold Coke. And we love the look of the dash with the full custom Sun and Stewart Warner readout setup.
A Chevy small block leads the way with four (yes, four!) four-barrel carburetors. They sit on top of a custom-fabricated cross-ram hi-rise intake, so you always notice them. The aluminum valve covers, mirrored firewall, and polished heads keep the shining style going. We won't tell you about the power and test drive simply because that's not the point of a car like this. It's currently set up to be a display. After all, tuning a "quad-quad" carb setup may make a Porsche four-cam look like a cakewalk, and no front brakes were installed to make the hubs look extra clean. So the odometer only shows one mile, and we're pretty sure that's all it has done even in its big tour travels. However, it can be possible if you're set on creating a dummy carb setup and hitting the road. There was nothing fake about this build, and no shortcuts were taken. Details like a strong custom frame, Corvette independent rear end, rear adjustable coil overs, rear disc brakes, and a Powerglide automatic transmission mean this custom creation can put power to the pavement better than many replica T-Buckets.
If you truly cherish custom car culture, then you know this is an opportunity like no other. We're hard-pressed to find anything that isn't original to the build, and you will be the first caretaker outside of the builder's circle to own this car in its over half-century history. So when you know the difference between owning a classic and curating one-of-a-kind history, you understand the gravity of this opportunity. Call now!

General Terms
Terms & Conditions
We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
FEES: A documentation fee of $399 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
AVAILABILITY: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
CONTACT: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
INSPECTION: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
PAYMENT: We require a non-refundable $500 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers.
SHIPPING: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
DRIVE IT HOME: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.
DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
VIN VERIFICATION: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
MILEAGES: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase. CONDITION: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.

If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!
