You are not alone! That is almost the exact same response Vince gave us on our '69 Yenko Nova, only I think the word "pissed" was used somewhere in there! It sounds like you met the majority of the "true enthusiasts" first, though, and got to see that there really are people out there who are willing to help another eunthusiast out, even if it doesn't benefit their pocket book...unlike "you know who".

Good Luck with the car, bummer on the speedo though. Unfortunate situation with Vince.

I feel I should speak up. I have talked to Vince a few times and have never had a Problem with him. He has always been OK to me. Just my personal experience's.

charley;
i also have spoken with vince a few times
with no problem at all.mind you,this was way
before these cars got really popular with enthusiasts.he verified my vin for my deuce
which i bought close to 20yrs ago.i've spoken
with him probably when he first obtained the
records,& he answered any questions i had for him.like i said,this was in the early 80's.i would just like to mention that not only was this web site a great idea,enough can't be said about the people that are willing to share their information with others on the bulletin board towards any questions they might have concerning a purchase or restoration of one of these cars!
it's a FUN hobby to be enjoyed!!!i also i felt i had to speak out&would like to thank marlin for always taking the time to answer anything i could throw at him !!!&will continue to throw at him in the future!!a little common courtesy is not too much to ask for!!!

Thanks everyone for the suggestions I received about the 140 mph speedometer. After much discussion with the previous owner of my 68, he was able to "find" the original speedometer. The mileage shows just over 4000 miles. No doubt that equals about 16,000 trips down the 1/4 mile.

BEAUMONTBILL, Glad to hear you recieved the 140 Speedometer. Does the car have the "MV" code engine block and the "QD" rear end code?

[BEAUMONTBILL]

JOE,
THE BLOCK IS NOT A MV CODE, IT IS A CE.
THE PREVIOUS OWNER CLAIMED IT WAS ORIGINAL. HOW CAN I TELL FOR SURE? LUCKILY THE CAR DOES HAVE THE CORRECT REAR. THE CAR IS YS#8051. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY INFO THEY WOULD SHARE? THANKS
