S/B 731, likely correct given the correct body number.

Bummer on the condition, but at least we know. I'd say $40k'ish is all the money on that one - anything more and its bec/ somebody just has to have it.... hmmmm.......

Im sure whoever is the high bid and did not look at the car would be very very dissapointed. In fact withdrawing from the bid would be a likely scenario.....

Depends on what you want to do with the car - i reconfirmed with the bank - there is no warranty book or protecto - unless the previous owner has it stuffed away somewhere.

And considering the fact its been apart completely - the matching VIN's is a large risk as well.

I would put the car in the mid 30's max...with alot of work and $$ if you want to restore the car back to the original...if not a race car would be a better option.

Call me crazy but I'd bet it tops $50,000. When no driveline 69 Z/28s are bringing 25-30 grand and they built over 20,000 of them...a 1 of 176 Yenko/COPO Nova with the original Yenko window sticker is a 50K car in my eyes. Sure it's got some crude performace mods and missing original parts but I don't know of too many legit original COPO cars that don't. Also, being the fact that the bank selling it has made it clear that the auction will run until close and sell to the high bidder...I bet there are more than a few folks losing sleep and pondering finances during the next 4+ days.

Can't say I can remember when the last time one this nice was up for grabs to anyone willing to pony up the biggest stack.

Speculative value aside...did anyone notice the Yenko crest appears to have been on the driver's side of the decklid originally...looks like maybe the original Nova script was left in it's original location on the right?

Wish I had the cocconuts...

The $40,000.00 bid has been pulled. It's back down to $30,300.00 as of this posting. Maybe the link to "No Spin" site saved someone from making a co$tly error.

Erik I totally agree with you. If anything, I think the tone of this thread has made people nervous and might even attach a negative "stigma" to this car. Providing that the car is not a rebody, and the hidden vins are there, 50K+ is absolutely not a stretch for this car. When was the last time a real project Deuce that is on the inventory sheets, has the original window sticker, vintage pics, and is legitimately open to the highest bidder been available? Who cares if it needs a lot to make it right. A LOT of supercars have ben found in worse condition than this and are now concors cars.

Erik, the drivers side deck lid thing looked like a Mancuso dealer decal perhaps? At least that's what I thought at first.
