I don’t have an obligation to anyone on the sight or anyone else for that matter to give them vin #or trim tag info of my car unless I CHOOSE TO.

So I guess he chooses to sell his car for $100,000 below its potential worth.

The sad fact is that the car looks to be a really nice car.Even the hot rodded engine looks pretty good for a knock off.In todays market,if that car is as clean as it looks in the photos,he might get 50 grand for it just based on it being a great looking clone.He had to know that the only way to even begin to attract a buyer for the car as a bonafide supercar,that he would have to release the VIN and all trim tag info,and for 6 figures,I would plan on having any interested bidders coming to see the car before bidding.

But in reality,I have seen guys sell stuff for next to nothing even when they know what it is and how much it's worth,but most of it could be documented.A friend of mine had an LS6/th400 chevelle,factory red with black stripes car with the working cowl flap hood.The car had every original driveline part except the engine was a 1971 CE code 427 with the intake and carb and all the rest off the LS6.The car was a hot rod with 4.88's in place of the stock gears and headers and glasspacks hanging off the bottom,and the body had some plastic,but it was all there,and a clean lookng car.He lost his job and found another one that he had to commute to.He couldnt uproot his family and he needed a reliable car{he had a junker that he drove 3 miles to work when the weather was bad}.He traded his pride and joy Chevelle for a 1986 Monte SS with some chrome wheels on it.The guy selling the Monte only wanted 3 grand for it to begin with{this was in the late 90's}.The Chevelle at the time was worth about 10 grand even at a fire sale price,the car was really nice,but as I said,it did have some plastic under the paint,and it was never frame off restored.He needed money now,and nobody had cash,and he couldnt be bothered with the internet or want ads,he needed money now and was flat busted broke,and this is what he had to do to put food on the table.

I can say I worked the same situation to my advantage,but they guy I just bought my old GTA back from wanted 10 grand for it last summer,and turned down 2 offers,one for 8 grand and one for 7500.He just bought a new Mustang Cobra,and lost interest in the GTA[somewhat rare one of about 250 made in it's color combo and only about 50 with the 5.7 engine in this combo},but he though he was sitting on a gold mine.He got the insuance bill for his new Mustang last month and put the GTA out on the street with a $3500 asking price.It turns out that he racked up a few tickets with his new hot rod and the insurance company wanted 3 grand up front for the next year just to insure it.He had a few hundered bucks alloted for his first insurance payment of the new year and couldnt find an insurance company that would touch him for less then 3 grand up front and 4500 a year.If he wanted to keep his new toy,the GTA had to go.I was waiting cash in hand to buy it back,so sometimes people do sell stuff for a fraction of what it is worth.

A few years back,I made a few bucks helpong a guy out.He was about 2/3 the way through paying off his 1995 mustang combra,when he fell on hard luck and couldnt afford the payments and insurance anymore.He owed $4800 on the car and it was in the book for about $15,000.He couldnt find anybody with cash to buy the car,and the repo man was looking for it.I gave him an 85 Camaro that I wanted $1500 for in trade,and I payed off his car.I sold the car without ever putting it in my name and got $12,500 for it.
So if the supercar you want is out of your price range,dont fret,sooner or later one will turn up in the hand of a desperate indvidual who justs wants out.When that time comes,have your cash ready.

It doesn't look like he ever actually said it was a Yenko unless that was removed from his auction. But regardless, I don't know how you can try and sell something by implying what you think it is and not be willing to give out information like the VIN and cowl tag. It's the same as someone coming to your house and looking at it. So do the potential buyers a favor and list the information you have. Why claim to have documented proof of something and then not show anyone the documentation.

I got the same email as everyone else did the Omar one.
I agree he knows an awful lot about these cars. It seems as though he either has a real car or has been studying real cars but as for the Dana story ... why does the car have Yenko Centercaps and a Yenko emblem on the tail pan and grille if it is a Dana car?
IMO a Dana car is probably more valuable but not as well known to the Masses.
Ding Ding Ding.
Ah ha I think we may have found the answer.
But then not as well known will attract the informed buyer ...not a good thing if the car is in fact a clone.

This car reminds me of a white 68 camaro. It was listed on ebay for sale in FL. Was from WI. Seller thought it was from Dana. Or maybe a Yenko. Same car? Earl
