Linda, I think you have been awesome during this. I would do the same thing if I was away from the car scene and had a collectable car to sell - see what the market will bear. You'll NEVER have another chance once its gone.

Don't feel bad, all cars have history of good and bad. Nice story, cool car at 18 years of age. You ought to be proud you kept the car so long, that is special in todays world.

Thanks Pete and Stuart, I really needed the emotional support. And Pete you hit the nail on the head. Earl and I had already talked about the possibility of turning down a higher offer and going with a lower one if it meant keeping the car in the area and being able to see some of the progress made with the restoration. The car does have a lot of sentimental value attached to it. In 1974 we spiffed it all up and brought our first son home from the hospital in it so he could say his first ride was in a Yenko Deuce. And although Earl put most of the miles on it, I was occasionally seen driving around Indiana in it with a string of guys following me. Didn't take me long to realize it was the car and not me. Linda

I think it needs to come back to Indiana.

That's okay..... Indiana, Pennsylvania..... Madison, Indiana...... regardless, there needs to be another one running around here. It should live in my garage while not running around.

Linda,

There are some people here that are so passionate about cars that sometimes they type before they really think about what they want to say. I've been guilty of this a few times myself.

Overall, the group here is wonderful...and after meeting a lot of these people in person...they're still cool

Like I said before, good luck with whatever you do with your Deuce.

I agree! I have found most of them to be even COOLER in person!

I wish you the best Linda! You seem to be very cool as well!

Linda, don't be offended by any comments/opinions on here. There is ALOT of passion for these cars here.Also remember that there are people here who can flitter away that kind of coin for kicks and others who would fight to the death for it! That makes for many different points of view.I think you're doing just fine. Oh, yeah, LOVE the Deuce!
