We recently heard from our friend Michael Yager, son of Mid America Motorworks founder Mike Yager, about a new venture he was starting called MDY Motorcars. MDY will be offering for sale all types of sportscars, luxury cars, and vintage rides, building on Michael’s lifelong experience of growing up in a car family and overseeing the famous “MY Garage Museum”.

Michael asked us to check out one of the first cars he was offering for sale and how could we refuse when we saw that it was a 1996 Corvette Grand Sport that wears VIN 006!
