Re: yenko deuce found!
Chad,
I am new to the forum, but had to offer my congrats on a super find. It still gives me hope that some great cars are still hiding out there. |
Re: yenko deuce found!
Chad,
It is nice to see another Supercar in MN.Too many have left.Earl |
Re: yenko deuce found!
I must admit, the car looks quite a bit better in the pics compared to the description I received over the phone a few weeks ago! It's usually the other way around, good deal!
|
Re: yenko deuce found!
Hey Marlin, This car looks a lot better than the other one we know of. What do you think? Sam
|
Re: yenko deuce found!
Far better!
|
Re: yenko deuce found!
Very neat story and find. Congratulations!
I wonder why there's a '69 front bumper on there.... did the seller say anything about that? Sigh. (wishin' I could find a real Deuce). |
Re: yenko deuce found!
Chad,
How did you dig that one up before Dave Belk "THE DEUCE KING" did? I've never known anyone to beat Dave to the punch , he just had one similar to it. I want to see it done, the thrill of the hunt always makes it more exciting! GR8 job! is it for sale? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif |
Re: yenko deuce found!
The 69 bumper goes with the 69 fenders... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif
I'm sure all of that will be corrected during the resto. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif |
Re: yenko deuce found!
Congratulations Chad,
The owner of this Deuce called me a few weeks ago looking for information about Yenkos. He said he got in trouble with it for street racing then parked it. He said while it was apart someone popped the trunk and stole the carb and intake but the rest was original. I got an email from another guy with a picture of a Deuce he had with a 2x4 tunnel ram. The car looks yellow in the picture and was raced in the mid 70's. Anyone know anything about it? |
Re: yenko deuce found!
Chad, I too would like to offer my Congrats on the finding of the car. Can't wait to see it after the resto.. Thanks for sharing the pictures. Mark https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: yenko deuce found!
Chad,
Congrats on the Duece!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gifCan't believe it was in my backyard the whole time... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smirk.gif Oh well, I'll have to keep looking. Blair |
Re: yenko deuce found!
The bottom line on this deuce is that MikeA 'found' it, and passed the word along to me. JoeC 'found' it about the same time, and also passed the word along to me. We all talked with the owner, and confirmed that it was the real deal. We just weren't sure how the body looked, several guys passed on it, a few others were contemplating it. The owner was told to see Earl about getting some chrome Yenko crests for the car, and the rest is history - Chad got himself a nice project. Good to see it found, and brought back to life!
|
Re: yenko deuce found!
I don't think it matters who "found" it in as much as yet another Supercar will be on the streets and displayed for people to enjoy. I seem to remember another Supercar whose discussion was more about who "found" it and less about the car. That after the "finder" was paid most handsomely for his efforts for which he was employed. Glad to see you add yet another one to your stable Chad.
|
Re: yenko deuce found!
Agreed, but people like to know how these things come to light, since everyone is always looking for that special 'find' https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif
|
Re: yenko deuce found!
Kevin, i plan to keep the car and do a resto on it,cars in this condition just rarely come along and i have been fortunate to get this car along with my chevelle,which is primarily the car i am working on right now.
|
Re: yenko deuce found!
He also gave me a set of torque thrust rims that are 14/6,and my question is what size were the torque thrusts that came on the nova,i know chevelle and camaro were 15s but not sure of nova.
|
Re: yenko deuce found!
Chad, the steel wheels on the deuce are 14x7, as are the Magnum 500 wheels that are coded AO. The optional wheels that Yenko offered in the catalog were Atlas wheels and were 14x6. If you have a set of 'torq thrust' style wheels, look on the backside to see if there is a mfg name. From what we have seen, the Atlas wheels don't say anything on the back.

Re: yenko deuce found!
I want to be on the *special find* list, lol https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif

Re: yenko deuce found!
It is not a special list.It is meeting that SPECIAL group of friends that take you in as their own, that I will call my FAMILY. With out them I would have not found my DREAMCAR."MOF" https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: yenko deuce found!
Good pics Chad, especially the one with the rear code. There are several 05D deuces with rears dated 0512. Is there a '2' after the 'G' on the tube? Any chance to get a pic of the engine stamping to compare with the other deuces?
|
Re: yenko deuce found!
Great stuff. In one way, you hate to disturb these original items. It seems as though the car in truly in need of a restoration.
