Clint69 as in the same clint69 that tried to slam me over there?? I do have a question though, why doesnt he post his car for sale here since I beleive he still is a member.

[MotownMadman]

Jeff,
I dont know anything about the politics, I just thought that as few of these that come on the market the guys here might like a shot at it.

Matt, I know and you are right about how few that do come out for sale, Hope it does sell and I also hope that he relizes it most likely will be someone from here that buys it and thus I would like to think he would hit that paypal icon and donate something to the sYc.

just saw this on another site,not sure if its the same one or not:

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

I was as surprised as anyone when I heard/saw that Clint was selling this Deuce! After spending a few weeks helping him acquire it, and offering to trade some parts to him to bring it up to par - I see it's now without an engine/trans and for sale! Not to mention that the price went up more than $10k, and, the engine & trans have been removed. Don't know why he didn't advertise himself, Yenko's sell themselves - even this one which I verified for the previous owner via my calculations since we don't have any paperwork on it.

It really makes me wonder why I do what I do, I can truly see Vince's point http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

What is the web site address? Thanks.

[Clint_69]

I have no problem with most of the people over here. The reason that I have not posted the car for sale over here is because I am still on the "outs" with a couple of folks. The whole Yenko on Ebay thread really ticked me off and Jeff, you were part of the aftermath. I have made ammends with most of the folks that I offended in that thread and some of my comments were unfounded especially after speaking with some folks off-line about the situation. I never want to get involved in something like that again. I have met all of my friends in the Supercar hobby through this site and the other site and my intention is not to bash this site. Tom, Rob, Jeff and others,I apologize.
Unfortunately, I am once again back in the lime light. I do not want to start any problems, so I will not engage in any controversey. I do have a couple of questions though. Matt, why would you post the ad over here knowing that it would have a high propensity of getting deleted? You have taken an obvious stand against the other site and posting information from the other site is sure to stir up crap. I really have to question your motives. Marlin, you and I have had a great relationship since I have been involved in this hobby but I think that your post is out of line. I don't mean to sound ungrateful because you did tell Ken to speak with me about the car. You even helped drive the price down and I appreciate your help. My point is, it is nobody's business what I paid for the car, what I stand to gain on the car of anything else for that matter. The fact is, it is my car and I can do whatever I please, period. I owe nobody an explaination as to why I am selling the car. The fact is, before you post, you should never assume that you know ones reason for selling. Think about it. Please do not take this out of context as I can hope to continue a good relationship going forward. But if you call me out again without giving me the courtesy of picking up the phone or sending me a PM, we will have a problem. I had not intention of selling this car for a gain when I got it. On a final note, I can not help but thing that some of the reason that I continue to get called to the mat is because of my other affilations i.e. Tim and Dave. I like those guys as I like many others over here. They have helped me greatly to expand my knowledge of this hobby. If people want to judge me because those guys are my friends, fine, do so. But please do not drag me into these types of things with your hidden agenda. I just want to stay neutral and enjoy the friends that I have made in the hobby. I do not wan't to argue, bicker, fight or anything else regading this or any other matter. If anybody would like to see the car, send me a PM. The car does come with a trans and the rear. Also, I have located the original heads, cam, trans, shifter and a CE block that was in the car that a previous owner pulled out. The extra stuff would be an additional $700, which is a good deal.

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Clint,
I just feel a little used, that's all, I'm a big boy so I'll get over it. It's just seems to happen over and over, and it gets old. If I help someone get a Deuce, it's nice to see them keep it. I could flip more of these things than anyone if I wanted to, but I like to see guys get themselves a Deuce, not just make money on my leads and advice. I didn't venture as to why you are selling it, I trust you that it's for a good reason and that you didn't buy it with the initial intention of flipping it.

[MotownMadman]

Clint,
I really could care less about all the BS going on between different groups of people involved in this hobby. My only motive was to let the people who may want a Deuce who dont know about or go to the other site to have a shot at it. I was not involved in the fiasco that went on with the Ebay thing and I dont have a opinion one way or the other about it. As for your Deuce, you bought the car and you have a right to do whatever you want with it, sell it, keep it or whatever, it is your car to do with as you please and nobody should second guess your actions with it. I dont see what the problem is with posting a reference to your car being for sale here, as you said you have a lot of friends on this board, all I was doing was making sure any interested parties knew about it. Whatever you may believe about any problems I have had on other boards, I can assure you that you have only heard one biased side of the story, but that has nothing to do with trying to do a seller and buyer a favor in bringing them together on the sale of a car. I have never had any disagreement with you so I really cant understand why you would question my motives other then the fact yhat you have possibly been fed a line of crap by some whiners.

[JChlupsa]

Yes I did and it was not the owners info. Please read Clints replies.

25 years ago, my brother-in-law was complaining that he needed "cheap" transportation to get to work. I had a 350 Honda in college, which I had parked in my Dad's garage for the winter in about 1970, where it stayed until he retired.
It was now in my garage, and I offered it to my brother-in-law for free. He took it, and was quite grateful.
Well, about two weeks later, I was at his house, and learned that he had sold the bike.

It was his, and he could do with it whatever he wanted. None-the-less, I was pissed; I felt he had used me.

Clint, I am not here to second guess your motives, but Marlin, I feel your pain!!

[Maxx]

Last time I checked there was a buy low and sell high market right in the middle of this musclecar supercar world. What a person does with what there own property is up to them and no one else except the buyer. Recently I was offered a 1969 Yenko Camaro for $20K below market and I did the deal. Therefore, now a friend of mine can give his wifes older sister $50K to pay for her dying 13 year old daughters hospital bills and scripts. Were praying http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif for her recovery. Lets all try to be kinder to one another. Maxx

[Mr. T]

Well said Maxx!! My thoughts and prayers are with your wifes older sister's 13 year old daughter

[Mr Yenko]

Marlin,
I learned a VALUABLE lesson from the e-bay deal.I only hope that you start charging a finders fee, so at least you get a peice of the pie.I get e-mails all the time about finding cars or giving up yenko vin #'s. It will all be for a PRICE from now on.
The "MOF"

[Mr Yenko]

I almost for got that Yenko car has found a NEW home and Iam GLAD that it is GREAT hands. And it didn't go to the GREEDY ones. I will leave it at that,if the NEW owner wants to say he can speak for himself. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

Is there a OTHER site i dont know of?, is there anyone willing to supply me with the web adress?


NEW

[Racefan]

Had a great post for the "Mayor" about how wrong it is to not help others with the info he has been blessed with, but decided not to leave it. I do have a suggestion though, write a "Yenko- By (or BUY) the Numbers" book. That way the info can be purchased from you, and if someone uses the info and gets a Yenko car but then sells it you won't feel used (because you'll have no idea the person used your info to buy it). Don't take this the wrong way...I am not trying to be a smart-#*&, just feel as though the information was given to you by someone (even if it was through your hard work--without those giving you info you couldn't have compiled the big picture). I apologize if I am speaking out of turn because maybe I don't understand how you got the information we are speaking of....but enlighten me. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

[Mr. Duece]

Marlin, It is your knowlwedge and integrity that makes this hobby what it is. Thanks for the great advice and look forward to meeting you in the future. Don http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

[Unreal]

Maxx, you are right about our free market society. Buy low and sell high is the cornerstone of our economy.
However, I think I'm hearing you say that you draw no distinction between what is "legal" and what is "socially acceptable."

Maybe it's just me, but I believe there is a diffenrence between, "Hey Marlin, I love Deuces, and I'd really like to find one. Can you help?" and "Hey Marlin, I want to find a Deuce that I can buy cheap, and flip. Can you help?"
If the former, and then he flips it, then I think Marlin has been wronged (not legally, but socially.) if the latter, and Marlin agrees to help, then, no foul.

I do not know Clint, nor do I know his motives, so I am not casting dispersions.
I do know Marlin, and his passion for the Hobby. I think he draws differences between a hobbiest and a profiteer.

When someone "feels" wronged, shouts of "Free Market" don't change the way he feels. It may change his attitude towards helping other hobbiests in the future. And that, my friends, cannot be good for the hobby!

[MotownMadman]

Hey guys, I think this whole thing has gone way off track.I will be the first to agree that Marlin puts forth a lot of dedicated hard work towards this hobby and freely helps those who ask. Possibly though, the car was not what the buyer expected, or possibly after buying it he realized he really couldnt afford it, or maybe he was talked into selling it by say, a broker who wanted to make a quick buck. Point is we dont know the whole story so we shouldnt jump to conclusions. The main thing is though, this car has now been brought into the "Fold" so to speak, from being owned by an outsider to this true hobby, now it has been brought in as I am sure someone from this board or close by will buy it and do the right thing. So, Marlin has done his job, he brought this car to the group of people who apprieciate what it is and will no doubt bring it back to it's true glory.

First of all, none of the folks I assoicate with, who have "some of the numbers" were blessed with them. Gathering information, rather it be VIN numbers or other pertinent information related to the supercars, requires a lot of time and effort, and in many situations, $$$. Thus, anytime one of these folks are willing to share this information for free is a gift. And where I come from, you do not look a gift horse in the mouth.

The bottom line is, Marlin, MOF and the other fine folks out there who have this valuable information, and who are willing to share it simply for the love of the hobby, not $$$, deserve our respect, and our thanks. THANKS GUYS. This Buds for you http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[SS427]

I was recently asked by an freind to authenticate a car that was close to $100k as he was interested in purchasing it for his private collection. I spent a lot of time in the sale of the car and helping the new owner. The car is now being sold literally months after the purchase for about a 50% profit. No money was ever paid to me for my services nor did I ask as I was helping a friend purchase a car. However, now that I see what his intentions likely were all along even while using me, I feel taken advantage of. Should he be held accountable? No, I offered to help with no strings attached even though he knows what I do. Do I feel taken advantage of by a friend who should have been honest with me? ABSOLUTELY! One things for sure, it WON'T happen again!

You know...I don't think anyone knows what Clints motivations were....why post speculation ??? Man we need to slow down around here. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsdown.gif

[mike32]

I HAD BOUGHT A SS427 IMPALA A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, THE PRICE WAS A STEAL. THE SELLER TOLD ME HE ONLY WANTED TO SELL IT TO SOMEBODY WHO WOULD RESTORE IT PROPERLY AND TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT. I ASSURED HIM I WOULD DO JUST THAT. A FEW MONTHS LATER I WAS STARING AT DIVORCE PAPERS. I HAD TO SELL THE CAR. I MADE A FEW DOLLARS ON IT HAVING DONE VERY LITTLE TO IT (JUST SOME DISASSEMBLY). I DID NOT WANT TO SELL, BUT HAD NO REAL CHOICE. MY POINT IS, BELAIR62 IS RIGHT, WE SHOULD NOT SPECULATE ON PEOPLES MOTIVES.

[KENNY_PASCOE]

I USUALLY DONT PARTICIPATE IN THESE POSTS WITH CONFLICTING INFO BUT I'M GONNA SPEAK UP AND CALL IT AS I SEE IT. ALTHOUGH I HAVE NEVER MET MARLIN PERSONALLY, I FEEL HE IS AN ASSET TO THE HOBBY WITH HIS KNOWLEDGE AND CONTACTS WITH THE YENKO NOVAS. I'M CERTAIN HES NOT IN THE HOBBY FOR THE MONEY BUT FOR THE LOVE OF THE CARS. ALTHOUGH I DONT KNOW CLINT OR HIS MOTIVE FOR SELLING THE DEUCE, THE BOTTOM LINE IS, IF THE CAR GETS SOLD, MARLIN IS ENTITLED TO A COMMISSION FOR HIS LEAD AND KNOWLEDGE. JUST MY OPINION... KP

[WILMASBOYL78]

Like KP I don't often get involved in the serious debates, though I will add my views if it seems appropriate. This is one of those times. The collector car hobby is out of control! What started as a labor of love for the average guy has turned into "Big Business". Just look at all the nonsense going on with E-bay; all the fake cars, the clones, price gougers, it's terrilble. We need to reel this in before it explodes. Sure the cars are valuable, and some are darn near priceless, but they are still just cars. Let's not forget one simple fact "They Don't Drive Themselves", it takes people to do that! To me this hobby is really about the people and always has been. The cars are merely the thing that brings us all together. Let's all be friends, deal honestly and fairly and help each other whenever we can. The hobby will be better for it and so will we.

Clint seems to have a problem with my post.I thought that I expressed my feelings clearly.So I thought that Kenny explained PERFECTLY.I could care less about Clint or what his intensions were with the Deuce.He has every right to do what he wants with the deuce.I just feel that some sort of graditude should go to thoughs who dedicate so much to this hobby.Iam glad that Clint found a NEW home at the "other site".I think he should stay on the "other site". Just my OPINION. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I am really sorry I posted this ad here Clint, I thought I was doing a favor for the guys on this site that may want a Deuce, some here have stood up for you as they should, but the others that have bashed you for no reason are the problem with this hobby http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif

Specific thanks to Jeff for unlocking this thread for a final reply.

After being out for a day, I had a chance to read all of the responses. Each one states a valid point, and I thank those who voiced their support.

Clint is also right, it is his car, and his choice. I will always help people find and verify Yenko Novas. Let's allow this thread to be 'water under the bridge' and move on to the next Yenko Deuce.

Peace to all,
