Re: Yenko Nova
The worst time to get in on any "investment" is when people who know nothing about what they are investing in are touting the praises of said investment.
Just like my stock broker told me... "The time to get out of an investement is when every where you go you hear someone talking about how much money they are going to make on this or that" and the time to get is "When every where you go everyone is bitching about taking a beating and saying they are not going to put their money in this or that ever again" BUT I will reiterate what has already been said... the people who know what they are buying are not going to be hurt IMO... it will be the people who are blindly buying mediocre (and I use this term loosely) "restored" cars with "matching numbers" that will take the biggest beating. I have had people who know nothing about muscle cars call me and say I found so and so and it is priced 10k less than what I am seeing on ebay or where ever. Then I look at the car and it is the wrong color, everything under the hood is painted black, it is missing the smog, not the right carb... and the list goes on... What they fail to realize is that if you don't know what you are looking at then you had better find someone who does and you are better off paying 20k more and buying a known car with verifiable history and everything correct. Muscle cars are like art you don't buy them as an investment you buy them because you like them, if they make you money that is just icing on the cake.

I don't trust that Ferris Bueller any farther than I can throw him. With your bad knee Ed, you shouldn't be throwing anyone. Just produce a corpse... that's right just roll her old bones down here... Ed... Ferris Bueller is on line 2. Uhhh Uhhhh Uhhhh Mr Peterson let me appologize... I am sorry. I should say you are.... pardon my french but you're and a$$hole.

Re: Yenko Nova
Don't know if anyone is still reading this or not but will add an update anyway. First let me address the missing stripes. Earl wanted to have the car repainted because it had a few paint chips in it. If we are remembering correctly we did contact the Yenko dealership to get a stripe kit but were told there weren't any available at the time. They did send us large door decals (about 2'x1') with what Marlin says are the Yenko crests. They sent three of them and we still have them. Just didn't like the idea of them on the door. I checked with JW Nova several years after that because I thought about buying a set for Earl for Christmas one year. They were out of my price range at the time. It really wasn't that big of a deal to us. Earl and Doug took the Lakewood bellhousing out of the car yesterday and put the original one back in. Earl told me last night and I quote, "The underside is still rock solid."
 I was really glad to hear that in case we decide in the end to just get the car on the road and enjoy it again. Will know more this weekend. Marlin, a curiosity question, do you know how many of the remaining Deuces were sold at the Canonsburg dealership? Linda

Re: Yenko Nova
I have no doubt that you had some issues about the stripes. I also had a small stripe related issue, and had about the same response.
