"As Found" Yenko Pics?
 

Is there a thread anywhere with a collection of Yenko pics as the cars were found in barns, fields, garages,...before the restorations?

If not, start posting them here.

were these in NY? they look like part of Neal Robbins collection he used to have. i shouldve took pics of his unrestored code 72 Deuce when it was in pieces.

Re: "As Found" Yenko Pics?
 

They were. The red one ended up in Chicago for a couple of years and the green monster in Penna. where it still resides with its crank of an owner. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]

Re: "As Found" Yenko Pics?
 

Here is the red one when it was originally found by Warren Malkin in the early 1990s.

neal owned and restored many deuces. he showed me his garage years ago before his divorce and he had 5 deuces in there all done ,
plus his orange one he didnt restore yet. i almost fainted on the spot. if these where in NY... its possible they
were his cars and restorations. he told me he knew of a few others waiting to be plucked up that were hidden away.
he wouldnt tell me where of course... but i heard his health is failing in recent years. he still works on my dads
vehicles when something breaks. i dont think he has anymore left. dad said he still has a mid year vette he cruises around tho.

Hey, I resemble that remark. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img] I knew Neal had an orange Deuce he was working on, and an L78 car (I think) but didn't know of any other deuces besides the red and green ones.

Re: "As Found" Yenko Pics?
 

Joey, I think Neal had at least one more..... Could it have been the silver Wallace car now owned by Mike A?

Re: "As Found" Yenko Pics?
 

Heck if I know, maybe? Hey guess what...I actually took mine out for a ride today... Didn't viciously abuse it like you would have, but at least its not a garage queen today.

Re: "As Found" Yenko Pics?
 

Viciously abuse it? You mean like this?

(I actually think that you took this pic!)

You drive like an old broad! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

Re: "As Found" Yenko Pics?
 

I did take that pic...right before you about blew the water pump off the front of the motor...just sayin'... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img] Ah, the good 'ol days....best SCR ever.

my memory could be failing me... that incident was about 15 years ago. i do remember the green,red and orange yenkos like it was yesterday. maybe im taking the L78 car into account. was it a dusk blue L-78? the last time i actually saw neal was about 8 years ago, my old man bought a wrecked 69 X-44 car off him for parts. we dragged out from behind his shop and i havent been there since. my dad still talks to him a few times a year though. ill have to make a point of stopping by his shop next time im down that way and refresh my memory.

Ah, yes......the water pump incident. You're right, the best SRC ever and one of the most fun times I ever had. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/flag.gif[/img] To Joey, Brian and Joe: [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

If I remember right, the replacement pump was even the right date and casting #..BKH

Re: "As Found" Yenko Pics?
 

Cool shots...

Re: "As Found" Yenko Pics?
 

Brian, I think it was and you guys even painted it Chevy orange right there in the parking lot! Just freakin awesome and one of my coolest &quot;car moments&quot; EVER!

Bruce, yes the shots are cool. I remember pacing back and forth wondering if I was gonna get to race Marlin, an event that was talked about in anticipation for MONTHS in advance. I fumbled to grab my camera and shot those pics because I thought at the time, I need to capture this moment forever. As many here remember, bkh &amp; co. got the car running and I went on to win the Deuce shootout. Just amazing....

Everybody came through during that one. It was either Charlie or Gags that threw me the keys to their Ford Taurus rental, Charlie ordered the pump and had it delivered I think, and we some how found an auto parts store. Joey Barr ran through the list and grabbed everything the guys needed to get the job done. That was truly the Yenko Sportscar Club at its best. I really miss those days....

Re: "As Found" Yenko Pics?
 

I believe it was.

These are the kind of pics I'm talking about! I love seeing where the cars got to before being rescued.

Re: "As Found" Yenko Pics?
 

blue deuce was being used to tow lawn equipment - now restored

citrus deuce was a '70's street cruiser in Chicago - dig the steamroller tires, either restored or in process

yellow one was at a Street Machine show in WI - now restored

orange one was walled into a barn here in SE PA - now restored

Neal owned 4 Yenko Deuces, CS is now in NJ being restored, CR sold at auction several years ago, FG is with our buddy Joe, and the HO one is being restored by Neal's son Chris

Re: "As Found" Yenko Pics?
 

I remember one at the Holz Chevy car show in Hales Corners, WI that looked totally unrestored. I think it was red and still had 1/4 panel rust. Maybe 12-15 years ago - sound familiar?
