Re: Barrett Jackson Deuce
This is the Tony Bellow car out of ND.Car was raced heavily in the 70s. Tony sold the car to Mecum auctions last year. Mecum auctioned the car off to Gary Holub. Gary and I traded vehicles, as I had a silver deuce that he wanted. The car was not restored. Mecum had performance restorations in illinos do some work on the car. To my understanding the car had a new wiring harness installed, a rubber mat, paint buffed, new stripe kit,new exhaust, and had a lot of miscellaneous items repaired. Far from a restoration as advertised. When I received the car I had the rims painted, new wide oval tires, some detail stickers, and detailed under the hood. The car has a CE block in it, tranny doesnt match, wrong seats, wrong shifter. I cant remember if the rear end was correct, but I do remember the axle tubes were welded to the pumpkin.I tried to sell the car on e-bay to no avail. I then consigned the car at Duffys in cedar rapids Iowa.They informed me the motor was trashed internally, gas gauge and dash lights didnt work, etc. etc. etc.. Duffys rebuilt the motor and corrected everything wrong with that car before it was sold. They are a class and honest outfit. They made it clear to me that the car would not be sold until everything was corrected. Price on the car was around 38,000. Some guy traded cash and 2 vehicles for the nova. This was a nice looking car with a very straight body, and only 25,000 miles. Good luck with your new car!
