Okay Guys, I know I'm a lady and a bit sensitive but I feel like we're really getting beat up here. Greed?? Gravy?? Did we do something wrong? We're only honest hard working people with a car for sale. Can you blame us for wanting to find a fair price? If it were your car would you just give it away to the first good offer. We aren't saying these offers have not been good. We were really shocked at how high they were. But if you were in our shoes and sold this car for $50,000 this week and found someone who would pay $100,000 the next how would you feel? We're not trying to rip anybody off. We were just trying to find out what the car was worth!!!!We're not crooks as some of you have been implying. It's not like we've had this car for sale for a month or more and were holding out for the GRAVY. As for making the offers public I had no idea how much of a stir that would cause. When we get PMs or phone calls from serious buyers we pretty much have to make them aware of our highest offer. Don't you think word would have gotten out that way? What about people who buy at BJ auction, it's not like that's a big secret. I see posts in here saying "I paid" or "so and so paid" so how much of a secret is it really? If I've caused any hard feelings or offended anyone I'm sorry, that was certainly not my intention. To Rick H, we never said the car was original condition, only said we were original owners. And to the person who is questioning our integrity because the paint color was changed, we simply changed it because we wanted to. It's a simple as that. I was 18 years old when we bought this car and Earl was 23. Who can say why we do some of the dumb things we did? I've learned a lot from this experience. I've learned there are some people out there who wouldn't trust anyone and wish to believe the worst about people. I've also learned there are some gems out there, too. People who are willing to stick up for others and believe the best about them, probably because that's what they would want others to do for them. I truly do apologize if we have caused any hard feelings between anybody. Not much more I can say than that. Linda

You should keep the car, restore it and enjoy it. Then, when you decide to sell it, take it out to Scottsdale and let'er rip.
I've said it on here before: If there's someone among us who doesn't want top dollar for their car please raise your hand.
This site has done much to glorify the well-deserved legend of Yenko (and other) Supercars. Thus, such cars become highly prized collectibles which are fought over among a small group who can afford them. Who is suprised by that? Yeah, it's too bad most of us can't afford them but then capitalism can be a real b*tch, especially when you're unable to play.
No wonder today's kids drive ricers, they can't afford to buy our Camaros, Chevelles, Novas, etc.! Then we rip them for trying to make their Hondas go as fast as our legendary musclecars.
Keep that Deuce and enjoy it.
