Re: SCR8 - The Best Yet!
 

Car was located near Cedar Falls, Iowa, where it had been parked in dry storage for well over 25 years. It was purchased from the original owner just ONE day prior to SCR! And if that isn't cool enough, Steve brought him along to SCR to tell the story of buying the car, and answered any questions we could throw at him... A super cool guy willing to share the history of his car with us. He described how he began his search for a high performance car early in 1971 (yes 1971!) and visited several other well known hi-performance dealers before locating this car at Dale, still sitting on the lot in April of 71. He said there were also TWO other Deuces on the lot at the time, one in Cranberry Red and one in Sunflower Yellow. (Take note which color he picked. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif) It was interesting to hear about how many other people have tried to buy the car from him for next to nothing over the years. He also told of how close he came to having the car repainted/taken apart in the early 90's, going so far as to order a new set of Yenko stripes for it (which are still in the trunk!) Luckily, the person he was going to have do the work advised him to let the car remain in its original,unrestored "survivor" condition. I have many more photos of this amazing car if anyone is interested. Aside from a handful of truly "Day-2" mods including traction bars, mag wheels, and headers, the car is original and unmolested. It retains its original numbers matching engine, M21 transmission, and rear axle. Virtually anything that was ever replaced on the car was saved and stashed away, including the original distributor, smog system, and fuel pump. All components, sheet metal, glass, interior, etc. are original. The car currently has just over 22,000 documented miles! IMO, this car alone was worth the trip to SCR. Congrats LV....

I had a wonderful time at SCR8! Beautiful cars and wonderful people. My thanks to everyone who made it happen, I'll definately be back for SCR9! I was only able to make it on Saturday for the show, but would have loved to have been at the track on Friday. Seeing the videos only made me regret missing the dragstrip even more! Heck, even my wife had a great time!

Well..it was awsum again...just got home...I passed by Steve Shauger at the airport early this morning...said goodbye and walke down to my gate....which was of course the very last one..spent my last 1/2 hour in St. Loo BS'ing with Bruce Xplant who was on his way out too.....great time. I had a chance to drive LV's "new" Deuce out of the Gateway Center....I accidently mashed the gas on the way out and that car came unglued !! Very strong running car...I was gonna pull 2nd but I ran outta room !! I'm putting headers on my Deuce ! Thanks to everyone who attended....best bunch of people you could ever hope to meet...except for Lillard, Colin and a few other trouble makers ! I bought a cool book signed by Bob McClurg...we kind of "auctioned" some cool stuff off to donate to the hurricane relief thru Red Cross...well I passed it around the damn table figuring I would let a couple of the losers at my table have a peek...well it came back with a few more "autographs" than it started out with...couldn't figure out why Lillard was peeing his pants laughing...Joe Cheeks tried to warn me but I didn't get it. That damn Cumby is on my list too. I never saw so friggin many Belair62 nametags...all with a slightly different variation on blow up dolls....bastards. Paybacks are a bitch!!! Even that Barnhart guy gave me a rash of sh#t ! Ray Morrison is the coolest guy around...I think me and him are going to sit together next year...and youknow what...I'm sure I can kick Charleys ass...he's pretty scrawny. I'll remember more later...and blast a few more of you dogs... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif
