it is a good story - thanks for posting

Re: An interesting Yenko story
 

Kid,I thought the same thing.......had to be a lighter color.I always leaned toward a GB or CS car....Good news if it is indeed another car.Could this car have been repainted by Central after the 70 season?Remember a ton happened to these cars in a very short time,esp if they were competitive.......

Re: An interesting Yenko story
 

I'll talk to Jerry next week sometime and ask all the questions that pop up about this car.

Re: An interesting Yenko story
 

also ask if it was original 4 speed or auto or if it had power steering as this will narrow it down on the Yenko list

Re: An interesting Yenko story
 

I thought central received a silver deuce.. #89 I think.. is it accounted for?? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

Gentlemen, If I may direct you attention to the open door jam in the second picture it appears to be Cortez Silver ...... m

Re: An interesting Yenko story
 

This is an awesome story. I also did notice the silver door jam before it was mentioned but thought that it might just be the picture or the sun shining on the car. if you look closely it could look like that closer to the door pannels in the jams it looks Gobi Beige? Just another thought.

Re: An interesting Yenko story
 

Looking at the original picture, I can not tell for sure what color the door jamb is. It does look lighter than the blue but the sun shining on the back of the trunk lid does the same thing This question will be asked.

I forgot to put it in the previous post about the trans. It was a four speed when Jerry got it and that was the way he sold it.

Re: An interesting Yenko story
 

The car in the color photos looks Le Mans Blue . . . Was that an option for a Deuce ?? Fathom blue is a very dark blue.

Re: An interesting Yenko story
 

No LeMans blue on Deuces, but I agree that door edge does look silver. It could be the sunlight like Frank suggests, but the edge on the inside of the weatherstrip sure looks silver too and I don't think the light is hitting it there enough to give that appearance. Judging by the amount of paintwork on the rest of the car, it's very possible it got an entire exterior color change, less jambs, which would be just fine on a drag car back in the day. Could be the same car in the pics Steve posted, with a repaint. That may explain the off color of blue as well. That's the best explaination I can come up with. Marlin must be out doing his holiday shopping, he should be all over this thread.
