1970 Yenko Deuce - Page 3

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.

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!

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

**scott s** · #27 02-03-2006, 03:05 AM

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?

Last one needing resto that I now about was $45K a year ago. I would take the money quick. I hope it was not Nigerians that made the offer. Seriously, great car and neat history. Good luck.

You're right, we are testing the waters. And if the offers back out because of the publicity, what have we lost? We would still have the Deuce. It's not like you can just go to a blue book and look up a price. What might be worth $50,000 to one person might be worth $150,000 to someone else. I checked with Earl and he says it still has the original drive train, also no rust in floor boards or trunk.
