If this is true, it will obviously reduce the fmv significantly - perhaps to its current bid, as that is the general range for a decent project deuce w/ no matching drivetrain (given other deuce sales in this condition/originality). You have to factor in ~15% on average for each missing drivetrain item, so that would knock it down by about 45-50%. So a high of $75-80kk becomes $40k in a hurry!

If this car is missing everything - and it is starting to look that way and it is a 107k mile car I think the bidding is really topped out already. This is going to be a very expensive restoration to complete if you want to do it correctly. The rear if even able to find will probably set you back a solid $20k + and then you have to account of full rotiserie restoration at a minumum of $60k - before you know it you have a car that is worth $100-$120k costing you $150k to buy and restore. I dont think this will ever be a money car for anyone - but given the right passion and effort it could be a very nice authentic piece to add to your collection. If the muscle car market ever goes back to 2008 prices then there might be some appreciation there.

This is exactly where a lot of us Deuce owners were back in the mid '90's - we knew we would be upside down, even with doing all the work ourselves! We didn't care, it was never a 'money thing'. That is likely why so many Deuces have long ownership tenures - even during the high dollar years, most stayed right where they were.

Looking forward to the Ed's assessment.

Yeah..what they said...

Marlins statement could not be more true. When I was fortunate enough to aquire my Deuce. (Thanks to Marlin and others on this site) It was as if I was being welcomed into a family. The wealth of information and time just given from he and Shoney were invaluable during the restoration.
I don't know what the old car is worth but I wouldn't trade the family that comes with it for anything.
