1970 Yenko Deuce

I thought the last one was $75k. I didn't see the money but thats what I heard..

75k for a done one or needing resto?

[Roof]

Just a little addendum. Pics really do not do the car justice. Had not had a chance to clean it up when pics were taken. Body and interior in good shape. Split on the dash pad. A small surface rust spot about 2 inches long beneath the rear window and two surface blisters about the size of a quarter on each of the front fenders. Car has never been wrecked. Oil was changed religiously every 2000 miles and only used Wolfshead oil. Have the warranty book.
There was no window sticker on the car. Have the original exhaust from the headers back but no muffler or tailpipes. Have the original rims and air cleaner. Hope we're not boring you folks. Linda

I would like to add a diffrent perspective to the comments on the offers...
I have customers who only will buy unrestored cars and they will pay a premium, as an example one customer paid $75,000.00 for a 65 Corvette 396 conv. in 1989. The car had the window sticker dealer order copy car shipper copy and POP. That was $25,000.00 more than what the restored cars were going for at the time. It was a 1 owner car and had an unbeliveable amount of options for a 396. The car had 42,000.00 miles and needed a complete resto. He has turned down well over $200,000.00 for the car.

Another customer paid $70,000.00 for a 65 Corvette Fuel injected conv. This was back in 1990 again a fist full of paper work, original owner, great colors and options needing a full restoration. You don't get the chance to buy cars of this caliber from the original owner's every day.

My point is some people have the forsight to step up and pay above market value for a car they want. Not caring if the are upsidedown in the car as the market eventually catches up. Also they want to restore a car that has not been gone trough before.

Good luck with the sale

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.

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!!!

Noticed Charley asked some questions, but forgot to ask "can I have it?" Guess he is slipping.

"75k for a done one or needing resto?"

one with all its history showing but nice history.. this car under all that dust could be as nice.

[Mr Yenko]

Sounds to me that someone made a incredible offer on a car that needs a complete restoration. I think you should have taken the offer, but now it might be too late. Like the board says, not too many people like their buisness made public. Its a shame that these cars bring out so much GREED.
