Default Re: Yenko Deuce for sale on eBay

This is the reunion car as Brian said, however, it supposedly has had some changes done to it since that showing. The M22 is gone, and a leaking Sag is in it now. The rear turned out to be non-matching, and so is the leaking motor! Not sure who did what to it since the reunion, but it is not what it was supposed to be.

There has been some discussion with prior sellers/auctions regarding this car and its engine. This is the story; we had originally thought that it might be possible that a few of the Silver 4 speeds (first 15 cars made) did not get their VIN # stamped onto the engines. This theory was due to the fact that 4 silver car owners claimed to have their #'s matching blocks, but none of them had a VIN on the pad!! Realizing that anything is possible with GM, I thought it might be a mixup with the first few cars of this COPO order. I went to look at one of the silver cars in Northern New Jersey. This car was an original owner car who said he had never changed the engine and it had only 25k miles. I cleaned the pad, and the VIN was there! The owner had never noticed it because the stampings are smaller than the date stamp, and he never really cared because he knew it was never out of the car. (That car has been sold). Now, there are more silver cars found in the first 15, and they also have their VIN # on the pad. This should clear up any heresay from the seller regarding 'mixed up stories'.

As for the car's condition and originality; this car has base/clear paint, but the clear is over the stripes. There are some good points like tach, seats, ect. but also some bad points. This car was sold at a fair price the first time, but seems to be marked up and resold every few months. It is now priced higher than any other Deuce sold - ever!!

Be Careful,
Marlin
