I was as surprised as anyone when I heard/saw that Clint was selling this Deuce! After spending a few weeks helping him acquire it, and offering to trade some parts to him to bring it up to par - I see it's now without an engine/trans and for sale! Not to mention that the price went up more than $10k, and, the engine & trans have been removed. Don't know why he didn't advertise himself, Yenko's sell themselves - even this one which I verified for the previous owner via my calculations since we don't have any paperwork on it.
It really makes me wonder why I do what I do, I can truly see Vince's point ![]() ![]()

Marlin,
I learned a VALUABLE lesson from the e-bay deal.I only hope that you start charging a finders fee, so at least you get a peice of the pie.I get e-mails all the time about finding cars or giving up yenko vin #'s. It will all be for a PRICE from now on. The "MOF"

I almost for got that Yenko car has found a NEW home and Iam GLAD that it is GREAT hands. And it didn't go to the GREEDY ones. I will leave it at that,if the NEW owner wants to say he can speak for himself.

Had a great post for the "Mayor" about how wrong it is to not help others with the info he has been blessed with, but decided not to leave it. I do have a suggestion though, write a "Yenko- By (or BUY) the Numbers" book. That way the info can be purchased from you, and if someone uses the info and gets a Yenko car but then sells it you won't feel used (because you'll have no idea the person used your info to buy it). Don't take this the wrong way...I am not trying to be a smart-#*&, just feel as though the information was given to you by someone (even if it was through your hard work--without those giving you info you couldn't have compiled the big picture). I apologize if I am speaking out of turn because maybe I don't understand how you got the information we are speaking of....but enlighten me.

First of all, none of the folks I assoicate with, who have "some of the numbers" were blessed with them. Gathering information, rather it be VIN numbers or other pertinent information related to the supercars, requires a lot of time and effort, and in many situations, $$$. Thus, anytime one of these folks are willing to share this information for free is a gift. And where I come from, you do not look a gift horse in the mouth.
The bottom line is, Marlin, MOF and the other fine folks out there who have this valuable information, and who are willing to share it simply for the love of the hobby, not $$$, deserve our respect, and our thanks. THANKS GUYS. This Buds for you ![]()

I have no problem with most of the people over here. The reason that I have not posted the car for sale over here is because I am still on the "outs" with a couple of folks. The whole Yenko on Ebay thread really ticked me off and Jeff, you were part of the aftermath. I have made ammends with most of the folks that I offended in that thread and some of my comments were unfounded especially after speaking with some folks off-line about the situation. I never want to get involved in something like that again. I have met all of my friends in the Supercar hobby through this site and the other site and my intention is not to bash this site. Tom, Rob, Jeff and others,I apologize.
Unfortunately, I am once again back in the lime light. I do not want to start any problems, so I will not engage in any controversey. I do have a couple of questions though. Matt, why would you post the ad over here knowing that it would have a high propensity of getting deleted? You have taken an obvious stand against the other site and posting information from the other site is sure to stir up crap. I really have to question your motives. Marlin, you and I have had a great relationship since I have been involved in this hobby but I think that your post is out of line. I don't mean to sound ungrateful because you did tell Ken to speak with me about the car. You even helped drive the price down and I appreciate your help. My point is, it is nobody's business what I paid for the car, what I stand to gain on the car of anything else for that matter. The fact is, it is my car and I can do whatever I please, period. I owe nobody an explaination as to why I am selling the car. The fact is, before you post, you should never assume that you know ones reason for selling. Think about it. Please do not take this out of context as I can hope to continue a good relationship going forward. But if you call me out again without giving me the courtesy of picking up the phone or sending me a PM, we will have a problem. I had not intention of selling this car for a gain when I got it. On a final note, I can not help but thing that some of the reason that I continue to get called to the mat is because of my other affilations i.e. Tim and Dave. I like those guys as I like many others over here. They have helped me greatly to expand my knowledge of this hobby. If people want to judge me because those guys are my friends, fine, do so. But please do not drag me into these types of things with your hidden agenda. I just want to stay neutral and enjoy the friends that I have made in the hobby. I do not wan't to argue, bicker, fight or anything else regading this or any other matter. If anybody would like to see the car, send me a PM. The car does come with a trans and the rear. Also, I have located the original heads, cam, trans, shifter and a CE block that was in the car that a previous owner pulled out. The extra stuff would be an additional $700, which is a good deal.
