Re: The Greatest Day of my Life

Bill you probably haven't seen Frank...a boy that big can't possibly shift as fast as that engine can rev....I would say put in a Turbo 400 https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif

Re: The Greatest Day of my Life

Congrats Frank. Glad to hear it arrived safely.

Re: The Greatest Day of my Life

Stop playing with your toys and go make your bed young man. Or it will be no dinner for you! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif Kids nowadays, they're spoiled rotten! I want a Deuce, I want a Deuce!

Very nice car Frank, now get back to work so you can pay for it.

Re: The Greatest Day of my Life

Wow, and congrats. This will be the best day of your life. I heard Neil had sold the car, and am glad to hear that someone got it that will really appreciate it. It is a pretty car!!! I think it was featured in both the Nova and the COPO Supercar episodes of American Musclecar Get a copy of each. I would leave the 4:56 in it as well!..... you may need them if we ever get a chance at a rematch! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif

Re: The Greatest Day of my Life

Gald to see the deal finally done. Enjoy the car. It was a rough ride to get it...BKH https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Re: The Greatest Day of my Life

Re: The Greatest Day of my Life

CONGRATS Frank...just goes to show that supercars aren't just for the "aged" crowd (can't use "mature" cause that's a relative term https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif)....it's also great to see that you were able to keep your Chevelle...... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: The Greatest Day of my Life

Hey Frank,
I will work on that original owner and prior owner info.

I'll also copy some of my pics I took of your car when it was just hours from being finished. I met Neal and his son Chris in Binghamton, NY at 1:00am on a Saturday night in April of '97. We proceeded on to the Super Chevy Show in New Hampshire where we were joined by two other Yenko Deuces. It was a nice time, with good pics of three deuces!

Re: The Greatest Day of my Life

Allright Frank!! Looking forward to shooting pics of you and your car at SCR7.

Re: The Greatest Day of my Life

Congrats, Frank. If you are the youngest,I must be the oldest Deuce owner https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/ooo.gif. Like you I will never forget the day the Deuce was unloaded https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif. As a matter of fact I think I will make a pass through town in your honor. The sun is shining and the Deuce is always ready to be exercised!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gifI put a set of Hedman headers and flowmasters on it and picked up 50 hp. at the rear wheels and really added to the enjoyment of driving her. Sounds pretty wicked!! Have FUN!! Jim

Let me rephrase that. I don't mean to give everyone the wrong impression of my good friend Rick.

I should have said "He's more partial to the Big Block cars." I know Rick loves and respects Deuces as much as I do.

My apologies to Rick and anyone else who might have taken it the wrong way! Me and my big mouth! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif

Re: The Greatest Day of my Life

CONGRATS FRANK!
I know the feeling of that FIRST Yenko all to well.I still can't believe that I have one. "TOOOT" "TOOOT"
THE "MOF"

Dennis,
all the debates that have taken place on this site lately must have you gun shy. I admit it.......it's true. Nothing runs like a big block especially when in a big car. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif The fact that of the over 100 cars I have owned that only two were small blocks should have nothing to do with that. Ok, start throwing the mud. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Back to you Frank! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: The Greatest Day of my Life

That a boy Frank! SCR7 is looking very good now. Can't wait to see you row the gears...Speaking of, '56s are no problem. My L79 runs all day on the open road at 6000 RPM. Heck, a solid lifter motor knows no RPM limit. I say enjoy the revs https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: The Greatest Day of my Life

congrats on the new Deuce Frank!! all of them should be owned by us young guys right!! atleast young at heart! have fun!

Re: The Greatest Day of my Life

very nice machine, congratulations.

Re: The Greatest Day of my Life

Sure glad that deuce finally showed up. I was a little afraid you were going to have the big one. Happy to see that it all worked out.
Thanks for the compliment, but I'm not the deuce king, Just the mayor of Donahue. I don't wear a crown, but if you don't pay your bill I will shut your water off.(Now thats real power!)
You may be the youngest current owner now, but I've got a couple of grandsons who just might dispute that in a couple of years! Enjoy her Frank. Lifes short, makeum all count. Schonye https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: The Greatest Day of my Life

With the ever increasing number of Yenko Deuces headed to SCR7, and all of the bench racing going on here, I was thinking maybe we need a traveling trophy, going each year the one that sets low ET. That Deuce owner would have braggin' rights until the following SCR.

Re: The Greatest Day of my Life

I like that Idea.
I see pit Crews Forming,this could get ugly.. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif

Re: The Greatest Day of my Life

[ QUOTE ]
WOW!! TC that is a great idea!!! I am definitely on for that idea! Lets do it! The trophy will be mine on the Deuce!! Will we do the same for Camaro's?

[/ QUOTE ]

Do not know about the Camaros, as I see it costing me $$$. At past SCRs, Dru has ran some pretty good numbers with his Yenko, so I am sure Rob would want to "tweak" ours a little to try and compete. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Maybe do the big block Novas. See if any of the other "big boys" would like to come out and play with us. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: The Greatest Day of my Life

Would this be a traveling trophy that would change hands every year with the new winner each year thus making it so the past years winner would just about have to show!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: The Greatest Day of my Life

Very cool Frank... Keep those 56's bud. If you need to drive any distance.. well that's what you have a Chevelle for.. Keep that thing too. Or give it to ME https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: The Greatest Day of my Life

I see we've created a monster https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif
Tom, I'll supply the trophy, but I claim Rob Clary for my pit crew!

The trophy from the Yenko Deuce Registry, that would be kind of neat. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Not for sure if you would want Rob, he might be trying to squeese a big block in there. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

And I might have to put my $$ on Mayor Schonye. He was playing with these things before most of you guys were born. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: The Greatest Day of my Life

I'm happy for you Frankie!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif Now all you need to do is get some slicks and headers and you'll probably show me your taillights... I got kinda tired of torching you in that no-torque buzz-bomb of an LS5.

Just Kidding. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif Congrats, buddy-see you at the shows!

Re: The Greatest Day of my Life

Chris....the decals on the door of hisChevelle created a wind drag...J/K...I had to Frank

Re: The Greatest Day of my Life

Re: The Greatest Day of my Life

Frank,

CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am very happy for you!!!!!!!!
What a beautiful car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had heard from a few of your close friends that they were helping someone find a car. They never said who or what car but when I saw your post, it all came together. I am so very happy for you!!!!! Know there are some mighty fine people "out there" who think very highly of you.

Your post was a joy to read. What a pleasure it was to have you share your excitement, delight and enthusiasm over your new "baby"! It sure brought back some very wonderful memories for me. And your "lengthy" post....heck, at least you could type....I can give you the name of a guy who stood and cried for more than half an hour when a particular car he had just purchased rolled off the trailer! Thank you for sharing your moment with us. People such as yourself make this site as special as it is.
