Gobi Yenko Deuce finds its way to EBaY

[Schonyenko2]

My, this thread gotten folks going. Damn Frankie. You wanted a good 15 page discussion on supercars again. I think we got one.

I have different issues to throw my 2 cents in on, but the first being again that the bank did a very poor job representing this car. To avoid all this speculation about what's there, or not, they should have followed some folks advise, and had it independently inspected to verify what components are there, and those not.
Informed bidding can not take place without full disclosure on the car. Now Ed's the only one who knows for sure what's there, and he had to do it on his own dime. It would be great if he shared that with everybody, but I wouldn't blame him if he didn't.
Now comes a question if the hidden VIN nbrs there. Can't find that out with out taking off the heater box. Now this can get pretty sticky. Most likely it's there, but if it's been changed, the bank now has a real issue as they are selling a bogus car, that has no collateral value, and might have a criminal past.
Again, it would have been in the banks best interest, to have done their due dilligence, including hireing someone with knowledge of what they were looking at, to give them a comprehensive report so people could have an informed bid.
Now...There are a couple for kinds of folks who like deuces. Those who feel that cars are for investing, and those who just like the damn things because they're cool.
This cars for the latter group. Those of you who want investment quality cars, just move along, and let the guys who love deuces have their shot at this one. This one isn't a rolling art piece. This is a (presumed) real deal Yenko deuce. One of 25 in GB that needs a good running LT/1, m21 trans, 4.10 gear in a 12 bolt housing cause you're not gonna find a CBW..ever, and a happy owner who loves her for what she is.
And I only know of 1 deuce, that was ever restamped on the blk. To assume that the restoration progression of a deuce is pre determined to go that way is probably an overstatement.
You don't slip much past Marlin, or folks involved with deuces.
Now personally, I'd like to see the bank stop the auction, go back, and do it right. This has been a friggin circus.
In finishing up the rant, some of the cars that have brought very good money were not nbrs matching cars. And that was known. Anyway you look at it, there's only 175 of them.
Hang in there Frankie, only 10 more pages.
