Way Cool.. I want it!! I have a mean small looking for a home..

I'd drive it that way. :)

Don't know what "normal" is ... but his one had white stripes ... TAZ

I have no idea where it is now -- but I remember it sitting on the showroom floor at Rogers Chev and it had white stripes. The girl that bought it may have been in the Air Force and stationed at Chanute AFB. I saw it on the street a couple of times and then it "vanished" ... TAZ

Is this the pink/purple Yenko that was beside us in the barn Finds?

Owned by a super nice guy Jamie?

Yeah I’d love to have a yenko just like that, that I could get out and drive the snot out of it.

Great looking car Jamie.

That is the Lemans Blue Yenko that was hiding under the purple paint Ryan. I just couldn't stand the purple fake Z/28 any longer. I always wanted to try a patina paint job so this is it. I am having a lot of fun with it.

And Jamie...it looks great!:headbang:

THAT IS THE LOOK! Almost laced the sail pillars on my deuce back in the day. Hell, maybe I still will.

Taz, we've never been able to find/document a red/wht stripe deuce. I could not find an owner of mine who remembered it with stripes. We went with white as the deuce in the Ernst collection had white. Found later that it had black stripes, but Cliff wanted white. Englers Fencil sold deuce came to us with no stripes. It had lost it's stripes early on and one of the owners thought it might have been white.Mr. Ed Schoenthaler, who sold the car, in a discussion with Frank Magallion said it had black. So, your car from Rogers would be the only confirmed red/white striped deuce out there if we could confirm it. See why we get excited.

I like the look....congrats on achieving that!

I think I may have sat in this car when it was in the showroom. I was 10.

At this point...which car? :)

The OP Deuce. I have told this story a few times on here. Went with my dad to get a new car in 1970 at W.R. Austin and there was a Deuce sitting in the showroom. My memory is telling me it was Dusk Blue, but considering it was almost 50 years ago, who can be sure. It was a dark color. Smaller dealership. Probably not too many Yenkos going through W.R. Austin, but there was also an Olympic Gold Camaro, which is still in the original owners hands. I was 10. Hopped in the Deuce and pretend ran it through the gears, making race car noises, until the sales guy kicked me out. Begged my dad to get the Deuce, but he settled on a six cyl, 3 on the tree Duster, literally no options...

I am positive the floor had the rubber mat, and it was a manual. Also, I may know what happened to the original engine and trans. About 6 years later, I was 16 and got my first car, 1969 Z/28 Camaro! It was having trouble shifting, and my engine was making noises, not knowing anything, I thought I needed a new engine and transmission. Found both listed in our local for sale paper, "The Bargain News" about a mile from my house. Pull in the driveway, there is a Yenko Deuce, dark color, engine gone, trans in the trunk. At the time, I thought it was the same one. Norwalk was small town back then. I bought the trans, but didn't need it (it was the clutch), so I sold it to LaJoie's salvage yard. Rebuilt the 302 instead. Ronnie LaJoie was a classmate of mine, so we had excellent access to his dad's yard.

I also remember a Dusk Blue automatic in town, although I don't know if it came from Austin. I clearly remember the Hurst shifter with the auto pattern on the knob.

I'll be checking with people around Rantoul that may remember the Deuce ... TAZ

This blue a/t Deuce was most likely Andy P's Deuce which was sold new at W. R. Austin...
