Shouldn't the email from the high bidder be record enough that he didn't want the car.

Well Kingpin,
I guess for being a NICE guy and giving the supercar community a Yenko on a SILVER PLATTER. This is what I deserve.You can BET that I will NEVER EVER give ANYONE on this board any info to anything i discover.Cause being the GOOD guy is a BUNCH OF CRAP.Did i know it was a GOOD deal,HELL YEAH.I was concerned that it was possibly another members car.I think it will be best that i sit back and watch from now on...Cause if this is the THANKS that I get for putting a unfound YENKO on this board.This just flat out SUCKS.............

That KingPin post was out of line, Brian. You've been a good sport about this, it sucks to have come down as such a revolting development of controversy. Wish it woulda been different for you, but out in the sunshine backfired this time. Sorry to see it happen that way.

Without trying to antagonize anyone, how good of a deal is it really? The price seems fine, but the closer I look at that car, for resto purposes, its just a tub, a subframe, and a VIN, Plus a couple grand of drag race swap fodder. There's a long, expensive road ahead for that car. All the COPO-unique stuff is gone, as is all the removable sheetmetal.

Now each of the principals in this story may very well have the capability to carry this task out, but I could easily see this thing passing through several eager-turned-disillusioned owners before it ever gets put together again. In a month, after the rush of discovery subsides, I don't think there will be as many eager buyers as there probably are at this moment. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

True, Tom...I was just chatting off-line with a guy, and we figure it's $125,000 by the time it's in the show ring.

As per Brian, I think he deserves an apology or two. After all, he discovered the car, shared his discovery with he rest of us, and ended up getting bashed over it, when all he was doing was trying to protect Kevin's/Mark"s interest, as Brian thought the car in question was their car. Hang in there Brian.

Tom, after thinking about this for a while and rereading the whole thread I must say that it takes a HUGE pair of brass ones to ask anybody to apologize to Brian or Clint.

I like EVERYBODY else feels cheated and majorly jerked off by the whole situation that has unfolded today with this car. One of our members "it seemed" was the high bidder on a car that was reveled to be a real Yenko and "stole it" so to speak. Then out come the vultures trying to intercept this car before the high bidder gets a chance to collect his big win. Brian Potter made exactly 10 POSTS in this thread about this car and ONLY 1 of them mentioned Mark Hassett. I think that this next quote best illustrates the true reason that he posted about this car. When somebody posts a bogus thread about a Yenko found for $500 how do you think he would have posted about a real Yenko bought for $8300.00?

I guess I should have kept my mouth shout.Then NONE of you guys would have even known of the car till I had it in my gargage."MOF"

As for Clint he made 5 posts in this thread and not a single mention was directly made that he was not "Quickrod1" I along with probably most members thought that poor Clint was the high bidder and all these big bad people were trying to blow up his deal. Also Clint was asked 3 TIMES if he was "Quickrod1" and STILL has not answered!

I originally posted in this thread with the best of intentions. One of our members was getting to short end of the stick and I was speaking up for him. Tom I would have done this if the member would have been the new kid skierkaj or you! See you at Vette Fest in 5 days......

Invested or worth?

Re: Possible Yenko SOLD on e-bay.....
 

Tom, to the right person who already has the correct 427 and BE rear, it could be a great find. To be a $140K car, it will need a very extensive, correct restoration. But regardless, someone found a lost Yenko and it's great for the hobby. My thinking was that if I was lucky to even have the $8800 to buy it, I would never be able to have it restored without taking out a 2nd mortgage.

Re: Possible Yenko SOLD on e-bay.....
 

Frank he did say he was not the high bidder and the high bidder backed out so that would make him NOT Quickrod...It's kind of amazing so see this car pop up and to think they still are out there....very cool find
