Question 1970 Yenko Nova Deuce

I just noticed that a 70 Yenko Nova Deuce crossed the block yesterday at Mecum Indy. Sold for $140k, plus the 10% Buyer's premium, for a grand total of $154,000!

Just want to get some opinions on the car and the hammered price.

I own a Forest green, 4-speed Deuce and trying to get a handle on present day value.

Any help is really appreciated.

Rick

The estimated sale price Mecum put on the car was between $135,000 and $155,000

Last June (2016) a Cortez Silver Deuce failed to sell. It was bid to $80,000

Last May (2016) a Forest Green Deuce failed to sell. It was bid to $100,000

I think I will assume that my car is worth $140k, for insurance reasons. It's a pretty nice car with good provenance and a complete restoration.

THX for the input--appreciated!

Rick,

There are so many things that determine any collector muscle car's value: overall originality, original drivetrain, original sheetmetal, original glass, original interior, performance options, dealership and factory documentation, original owner's documentation (such as vintage photos, racing trophies, time slips, etc.), ownership history, race history, delivering dealership, if restored - quality of restoration and use of original or nos (factory line correct pieces or over the counter?), color desirability, auto vs. manual, is it known and been displayed at prestigious events such as MCACN or a concours, has it been judged by a recognized/reputable group, and on and on...

It is tempting to use auction house prices but that is usually not a good idea - can be very misleading. The camera can make any car look good and you usually do not have the inside track to the above items I mentioned. If you really want to know the value of your car, get someone who knows these cars (w/ a good reputation) to look your car over. Guys like Stefano Bimbi of Nickey Chev and Marlin Spotts (Deuce Registry) are good places to start. These guys know these cars and the market.

If it is for insurance purposes, you set the value. Set it on the high end. Wont make much of a difference on the premium. I always go high. You will be safe doing that. I 100% agree with Sams post above as far as selling. I would only add that not to many collectors are building collections now, in fact some are selling, which imo hurts values a bit. As an example if Kevin Suydam decided to sell off his collection, the market would be saturated with super cars to the point that values would drop. My opinion of course.
