Thanks.
There are considerable differences in the two carts you mention. Have you checked into the new costs of each? The Streetrods are manufactured to scale of the vehicle/year they represent and come on new Club Car chassis. They typically have many more features ie: removable stereo radio/cd player, tilt steering, converible top, custom wheels, custom paint to your specs, tailgates, wood racks, speedometer, electric trunk release etc.
Although the Yesteryears are nice conversions, the body's are fitted to a stock chassis, making them appear squashed up. They have some of the forementioned conveniences. When purchasing each new, there is approx $5-6k difference in price. The Streetrods seem to hold their value better over time. Most of them here in The Villages are gas for obvious reasons. Recently, in a private sale, a 4 yr old Streetrod sold for $15,200. A 2 yr old Yesteryear was just advertised for $!0,500. Which one is more reasonable???
