Me too....I can not imagine that there are many more potential buyers willing and able to spend over $100k for project car.

[Charley Lillard]

It is real simple. They are not sure what the car is worth so they are asking. If no higher offers come in they have probably found it's market value. It's not like they have to sell it tomorrow. Making the offers public might not have been the best idea though. Some people might want to own it but might not want the world to know how much they offered. Now if it sells most will probably assume whoever gets it paid over 110K. If the two people that made the 100 and 110K offers drop out because of the publicity it might be tough to get to that # again. I can't blame them for testing the waters though.

I completely understand testing the waters and I wish the owners good luck on selling the Deuce.

Charley nailed it, it sounds like it takes 110 or better to own the car today...I bet once the dust is blown off the Ol' girl she will look good, put any car in a barn for a year or two and they look pretty rough, dirt hangs on everything.

If i had the means I would be buying the car..from the original owners how cool is that!!!

How much work could it need with 18k orig miles should be pretty much all cosmetic stuff as the interior and body look solid not all hacked up.wonder if the owners have all paperwork???

Yes, they do have paperwork.

Wow, that's a strong offer. I'm glad I didn't bother giving my guestimate. Even with the low mileage it looks like it would need a complete teardown to do a proper restoration and reassembly. That could cost an easy $30-50K. They might not have the resources to get the restoration done and that's probably why it's for sale. It's a shame to see an original owner car like that get sold though. But somebody will bring it back to its former glory and we want to see it when it's done!

[1970ChevelleSS]

So if someone is offering 110 for this car what does that make a restored one worth 160?

[scott s]

Kenny could whip that into shape in a weekend

Hopefully, they have ALL the original engine parts as well. Chastise me if you wish guys, but i'm having a <font color="black">REAL </font> tough time believing those are legitimate offers... or did Deuce prices quadruple in the last 6 months?
