Re: Another Yenko Deuce has a new owner!!
 

Agreed. When I was going after this car I mailed the owner a disposable camera and he took the pictures! I was not too happy with pics when I first saw them. I have pictures with him and his buddy next the car!

Were any stolen from any of the dealerships??

Yes, not very many were stolen off the dealer lots, but there were some. However, there were a few '69 Yenko Novas that were stolen from the original owners.

Re: Another Yenko Deuce has a new owner!!
 

I wonder if Wallace added those front and rear bumper guards too? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: Another Yenko Deuce has a new owner!!
 

Nope, day 2 items like the door guards. Simple bolt-on's like these are expected with a 34 yr old car! When you get a car like this one, ya just leave it alone https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif

Re: Another Yenko Deuce has a new owner!!
 

did it have the Yenko crest or holes for them on the fenders?

Re: Another Yenko Deuce has a new owner!!
 

I suspect they were chrome plated stick ons...like most all Deuces got. All the easier for thieves to walk off with.

Re: Another Yenko Deuce has a new owner!!
 

Deuces all have double sided tape on their emblems, so no holes. The holes in the decklid were from the NOVA emblem.

It is unclear about the DEUCE decal on the hood, it may never have been installed. I believe it's still in the glove box.

Re: Another Yenko Deuce has a new owner!!
 

A big thanks goes out to Marlin for orchestrating the deal.

Re: Another Yenko Deuce has a new owner!!
 

congrats on the deuce! was the owner said to see it go? I know mine was and it was not in that nice of condition.

Re: Another Yenko Deuce has a new owner!!
 

The owner was sad to see it go, but he got one last 'memorable' drive. I'm waiting for TommyK to hopefully relay that story himself https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: Another Yenko Deuce has a new owner!!
 

Congrats Tommy K.!!
I heard all about the LAST ride. From what I hear it will be a ride that Tommy K. will not forget!!

Re: Another Yenko Deuce has a new owner!!
 

Marlin was this car a known car with a registered owner or is this an addition to the Yenko Deuce Registry?

Re: Another Yenko Deuce has a new owner!!
 

Welcome to the sYc Site Tom K. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Another Yenko Deuce has a new owner!!
 

This was a known car, for many years, but a very, very quiet car. Some original owners prefer to stay in the closet, this was one of them.

I see TomK registered https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Man! That car looks awesome TommyK! Very nice!

Re: Another Yenko Deuce has a new owner!!
 

I'm on the phone with Tommy K, the more he describes this car the better it gets. This is by far the best reference a/t deuce in the country. Trying to get him to post his experiences!

Re: Another Yenko Deuce has a new owner!!
 

The car was purchased out of Wallace Chevrolet in North Jersey, the owner made many trips to Englishtown, a dragstrip in Central Jersey, turning times like [email protected] hour, with time slips to prove it.
After a few years he stored the car and just drove it on nice days.In the mid 80"s he was in a very serious motorcycle accident he injured his spine and right leg.
I met him about 2 years ago, trying to buy the car, but he wasn't ready, I called him every other month to check on the car. finally he made his mind up, he was getting up in age and was using a walker.
After the deal was made and the title was signed over, he said he wanted to take the car for one last ride "AND WHAT A RIDE THAT WAS", we pulled out onto the street, he got on it a little. He then pulled out on the main road and layed into it, breaking tires in every gear,speed over 100 mph.
We then got on a side road and he stopped the car and asked me for his cane, I thought he was going to let me drive the car back, but that wasn"t the case. He put his good leg on the brake and the cane on the gas, he then smoked the tires until the smoked from the tires rolled into the car, He then took off and went threw the gears." What a ride, one that I will never forget, and what a smile he had ."
He was very sad when I put the car on the trailer,but he said " I HAD MY FUN WITH THE CAR , NOW IT"S YOUR TURN "

Welcome to the board Tommy K. That thing is VERY COOL ! Schonye

Re: Another Yenko Deuce has a new owner!!
 

Welcome to the board Tommy K! Awesome story, a day I'm sure neither of you will soon forget. It's a cool coincidence that the car happened to be an automatic, allowing the owner to be able to enjoy it for so many years even after his unfortunate accident. Sounds like he certainly had his fun in it...will we be seeing you having yours at SCR8? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

We first have to take the 4 speed car for a ride, then the automatic. We need to find out what car is faster.
then we watch the eagles win !!!!!!!!
