Re: Local Deuce Featured in the newspaper (Long)
 
Joe, I am glad to meet another owner of a Colonial Chevy Deuce. The reason that they had so many was that the owner, Josh Darden was a good friend of Don Yenko.I still have my original bill of sale and the window sticker. I will be glad to scan them and post them for you guys to see. I think the final price was around $3,400. I guess that was a pretty good investment. If I remember correctly, the insurance was about $300 a year for full coverage. They just didn't know what these cars were capable of doing.

That picture looks very familiar. I didn't get to see them unload any of these cars but I did see them on display. It sure brings back some memories. I still go by Colonial about once every two weeks but needless to say there is nothing like the good old days.
Well, I have to call it a day for now but I will get those pictures and documents together and post them to see what you think. It's great to talk with everyone.

How long was it before you removed the A.I.R system after you took delivery?

Yep, they used to race it at a local track called the Suffolk Raceway. It was basically the same as ours except for a set of wrinkle wall slicks on the back. They raced it in the old "gasser" category. Boy did they ever surprise a lot of people with that car.

I took the smog stuff off after about two months, now it's back on for authenticity.

Marlin I looked at a 69 Charger RT with those same mirrors on it at Cruise night last night.
