GOING Price On NOVAs 69-70???

[hvychev]

Here is a pic of one bad Deuce owned by Dave Belk and restored by our own Ken S.

Here is one of my favorite shots. This is the EXACT way I would have set this Deuce up!

That picture you posted there is one very very nice Nova.

So, is there any deuces for sale at the moment, fresh, or older restoration, for sale?

And by the way, very good info from the replies here.

Your right Frank. That Deuce has your name all over it.

Yes, we know who owns all of the Yenko Novas, both '69 and '70's.

Occasionally, one gets sold and we don't know where it went, but it eventually resurfaces and we get reaquainted! Many owners do not want to be found, and so, we leave it that way.

Nope, actualy one of your associates. Of course in his case, he bestowed this title upon himself.

Marlin,

I'd like to place an order for a Cortez Silver, Auto, in average, unrestored condition. I'll bring $23,000 cash to York and expect to load the car in my trailer and head back to Illinois. My offer is based on your 'average' price for a project car, and I'm throwing in the extra hundred bucks as a finders fee just'cause I'm a nice guy.

See ya this summer!

Let me rephrase my earlier statement; We know who owns all of the Yenko Novas 'that have been found'. We obviously don't know who owns all of the Yenko Novas since they have not all been found - yet!

Public answer to some emails:

The 'want' factor is such where a prospective buyer feels the asking price is more than the car is worth, but will pay it because he 'wants' it. Basically 'perceived value' vs. 'selling price'. In my discussions with buyers, the 'want' factor rarely exceeds $4k, which is an interesting stat to consider when analyzing the market value on the Yenko Deuces.

As for cars selling in the $70k-$80k range, it is surely possible - for the right car. There have been offers in excess of $60-$65k for restored Yenko Deuces, but the cars were removed from sale before deals could be completed. So, I would speculate that if more of the 'Top 10' Deuces were to be made available for sale, you would see prices in the $60k + range.

The restored Yenko Deuce Novas seem to trade hands less often than other types of Yenko Cars, just an observation. You would think that when the values go up like they have, that the restored cars would sell - especially those cars that would result in large profits. However, that doesn't seem to happen, not sure why - I won't bore you with theories The project Deuces on the other hand trade quite rapidly when the values go up, and as you can see many of them are new finds. This is logical, as the owners see the rising values for other Yenko cars and feel it's finally time to 'come out of the closet' and sell the car. In almost every case, the original asking price for the project car is quite a bit higher than the final selling price as the seller gets a bit of an education on the true market value of the car.

Interesting times!

There is a CS a/t deuce in avge, unrestored, condition out there, ( a lot closer to you than you realize!). However, the owner does not want to be found. Another CS a/t deuce is in need of a full resto, but it's not for sale - apparently missing it's tags!

I'll keep an eye out for you, but remember there were only 8 CS a/t Deuces produced. No need for a finders fee - I do this for fun

Thanks for the information Marlin. It's refreshing to see info shared so freely! Kudos It's interesting that the comments and values you have shared are almost identical to what I see happening with '67 Z-28's. One of my projects to work on is to add a section to my web site where I attempt to track asking and selling prices to help potential buyers and sellers put a number on their cars. Thanks again!
