Gobi Yenko Deuce finds its way to EBaY

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: markjohnson</div><div class="ubbcode-body">It will be a very exciting final 2 minutes to watch. The drivetrain may be gone but let's face it.......the basic car is still really just a &quot;350 Nova&quot;. It does not have the allure or pricing structure of a &quot;1969 427 Camaro&quot;. That's the reality of it. A date-coded 1970 4-Bolt 350 CID Block(decked) puts you in business, a 1970 Nova Muncie or a freshly stamped over-the-counter unit wouldn't be too hard to score. The &quot;CBW&quot; 12 Bolt is a problem and a VERY difficult item to acquire but I do know of at least one Deuce that has had a &quot;CBI&quot; 2.73 12-Bolt re-stamped into a &quot;W&quot;. Heck, it would be worthwhile to even &quot;re-tube&quot; the passenger side axle tube with the correct date and code. The famous E-Bay '63 SD421 Tempest just had an ENTIRE front clip fabricated from aluminum sheet, so an axle tube should certainly be do-able on this Deuce. Now fortunately, Chevrolet made a fairly decent number of LT-1's in Corvettes and Z-28's so engine components wouldn't be terribly hard to find. They're out there. Now what we do have here is a REAL 1970 Yenko Deuce with vintage photos, a VIN # that is on &quot;the list&quot;, and an ORIGINAL Window Sticker from a great dealer in Chi-town that sponsored John Greenwood's wild &quot;Spirit&quot; Corvettes and even sold a '63 Z-11 Impala back in 1963. Eddie M. should be commended and thanked for paying for and going through the hassle of having somebody inspect this car in person and then sharing the info with everyone for free. My hats tipped to 'ya for that selfless deed and if you go after this car tomorrow, I really hope you get it. Anybody else that thinks the bank didn't do enough to represent the car accurately should just pass on this car if it makes you that uncomfortable and just wait for the next project one to pop up for sale on the 'Bay.....but you may have a VERY LONG wait! This car is the LAST of the great High Horsepower REAL Yenko Supercars of the '67-'70 time frame (I won't even acknowledge Stinger Vegas and Turbo Z's) and an opportunity to step into one, possibly reasonable, doesn't come around very often. Good luck to all and have that itchy trigger finger ready for the &quot;ENTER&quot; button tomorrow! </div></div>

With that level of insight we're going to nominate you to be on the TV coverage of Barrett-Jackson in February!

Nice deal for both the seller and the buyer IMO. The seller got 25% over his reserve, and the buyer got a good project car - in a great color! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img] The price ended just where we thought it would, ($75k'ish for #'s matching, deduct 15% on average for each NM component, build in a 'gotta have it' factor = low $50k's).

If the buyer is a member of this board, please contact me about a potential CBW rear in the NE part of the country.

Hope someone from this site was the winning bidder....their fingers were sure busy on the keyboard those last few seconds!

Cool, and the kicker is, you can almost be certain the assembly date is correct for any of the 175 Deuces built! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
