Yenko Deuce Novas have been researched pretty hard, as well as the Yenko SC Novas.

Marlin, I dont deny you guys as having done your homework, but there are different ways of finding things other than title searches. If a car has not been registered in a long time or sold through different owners without ever being titled, title searches become useless. I will give you a few examples: My 68 Shelby Trans Am car has had every Shelby nut on the planet looking for it for thirty years, most had givin up as it having been destroyed a long time ago... I found the car in a warehouse in Dearborn not ten miles from where it was built. I have also recently discovered two supercars which have been missing and unfound, there are many more out there I am sure which are languishing in old barns and garages, long forgotten by their owners, who may not even realize what they have. Take a Deuce for instance, paint the car, replace the doorpanels, and leave the emblems off when you paint it...well even a knowledgable person could drive by it every day and never know what it was. With the amount built versus the amount found or accounted for, it would be hard to believe if you had a chance to open every garage and barn door in America that you wouldnt find one or more. In a way that is exactly what I am going to do.
Thanks,

I'm not disagreeing with you Matt, there is more than one way to 'skin a cat'. I could find more Deuces if I could travel around the country and search them out in person - but.... oh well! I have crawled through hedgerows in the ice and snow to get a picture or two [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] no buckshot in my behind yet - but it didn't make my wife very happy!

I agree with you Matt. But can I have this job. You guys all send me money for a plane ticket. I want to go to Hawaii first, as I know there's got to be cars there Jeff doesn't know about. I'll give you guys reports of what I find with my cell phone as I sit by the pool. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Guys, I have a feeling there are some "unknown" super cars in the hands of people who know exactly what they are and don't want them to be found. At least till they are ready for them to be. I mean, look at how secretive some of the people on this site can be about what they've got in the shed out back. Some people just don't want the publicity and the pestering, so I'm thinking the unknown number of cars that are sitting in a dark room right now under strict lock and key will probably stay that way. I wouldn't doubt there are a few in this site like that already. But I think you have a good idea and I hope it turns up some unfound cars that will go on to be brought back to the status they began as. Everytime I'm driving I keep a sharp eye out peeking in back yards and open garages for something that could be hiding. I just wish someone could compile a full color book with pictures and info on every supercar ever put out there. That would be a tall order but it would be some awesome reading.

I think there are at least five I know of in a 30 mile radius of my house. All the owners wishing to remain unnknown as well as their cars. A couple are hinting at selling so we shall see. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif[/img]

I know of quite a few cars hiding on this island. Too bad I'm not into Mopars. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

I don't dought there are alot of cars out there. I believe that alot of owners know what they have and just don't document them with any registery. If you could come up with a reason for them to do it and make it worth their while, they might come out of the closet. You have to come up with something that adds some kind of value to the car and/or would put money in their pocket.
