1970 Yenko Deuce

I would like to add a diffrent perspective to the comments on the offers...
I have customers who only will buy unrestored cars and they will pay a premium, as an example one customer paid $75,000.00 for a 65 Corvette 396 conv. in 1989. The car had the window sticker dealer order copy car shipper copy and POP. That was $25,000.00 more than what the restored cars were going for at the time. It was a 1 owner car and had an unbeliveable amount of options for a 396. The car had 42,000.00 miles and needed a complete resto. He has turned down well over $200,000.00 for the car.

Another customer paid $70,000.00 for a 65 Corvette Fuel injected conv. This was back in 1990 again a fist full of paper work, original owner, great colors and options needing a full restoration. You don't get the chance to buy cars of this caliber from the original owner's every day.

My point is some people have the forsight to step up and pay above market value for a car they want. Not caring if the are upsidedown in the car as the market eventually catches up. Also they want to restore a car that has not been gone trough before.

Good luck with the sale

Noticed Charley asked some questions, but forgot to ask "can I have it?" Guess he is slipping.

Sounds to me that someone made a incredible offer on a car that needs a complete restoration. I think you should have taken the offer, but now it might be too late. Like the board says, not too many people like their buisness made public. Its a shame that these cars bring out so much GREED.

All I can say is good luck with the sale...and thanks for sharing some history on your cool Yenko Deuce!

"Its a shame that these cars bring out so much GREED."
Where is the greed ? These people bought their car new. From the looks of how long the car has been stored they have been away from the car scene for awhile. They decide to sell the car and right off the bat get offers of 100K and 110K. They then are not sure of the value and decide to come here and ask. Who better to reap the rewards than the orig. owners ? Who are you to decide when it is greed ?

[Mr Yenko]

Lets say they had a offer of 100k and said they wanted 120k. The counter offer was 110k. And now thought they might want 130k. Where does it END. I have had this game played to me.Just my .02 cents.

[Stuart Adams]

Post all the docs, pictures, etc. and hold an auction over a period of time set by the owner. I got a feeling 110K would not be the top offer. If all is true these cars don't come around anyday. Original owner, original condition, wow. They said it ran before they parked it with no major rust. Heck leave it all original, clean it up like Charley did the vettes, never know. 200 K for original Z - remember. Cool car, cool story.

The supercar world is relatively small and I am sure the potential buyers know each other and have mutual friends. Therefore, they know what each other offered for the car. My point is... set a price and sell it when someone offers that price. If you want to test the waters put the car on ebay.

I agree...it may be expensive...but that will leave out the people who would want to get it cheap and flip it for more...the person who buys it will do so because they want one and are willing to enjoy the journey of restoring it...or leave it alone for what it is. I can supply them with a defective calculator that I have used a couple times ! Blue is awsum...original drivetrain is awsum...there is no better place to get a feel for what the market is than this site. I think you have had a lot of good input Linda...and armed with it you should go private now and sell your baby to the right person. We will all look forward to seeing it someday either cleaned up and detailed a bit or a full bore restoration !

I love this car, but if it was mine, I would take the money.
