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

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!
 

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!
