Congrats. Looks like a cool ride. Welcome to the deuce brotherhood. Schonye

https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif Nice score Scott. Judging by the inventory sheets that must be 114270W349582. That's the only FG car I see coming out of Ammon R. Smith, which means it's a 4 speed? What else can you tell us about the car? Any docs, or owner history to go along with it? You'll have to bring it to the York US 30 Reunion next July for sure. I must say I'm Forest Green with envy. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: MY YENKO DEUCE DREAM CAME TRUE!!!!!!
 

SCKid you are next in line for one! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: MY YENKO DEUCE DREAM CAME TRUE!!!!!!
 

Yeah, where's mine. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif Guess I'll just have to hoard parts and memorabilia until the right car comes up. You know I'm still aiming to steal that "youngest Deuce owner" title away from you. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Re: MY YENKO DEUCE DREAM CAME TRUE!!!!!!
 

Looks good! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif Marlin has helped a lot us find our dream car, thanks. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: MY YENKO DEUCE DREAM CAME TRUE!!!!!!
 

Many congrats to Scott! Scott did the deal right, kept calm, and got his Yenko!

This car was originally sold out of Ammon R. Smith Motor Co. in York, PA, and is one of three Yenko Deuces that we know came out of A.R.Smith. Only two of those three are existing at this time. We do not know how this car made it's way from York to Williamsport, PA, but it did, and at one time was used to chase deer. While chasing, it got stuck, and was left in the field! The seller bought the car 25 years ago, and I found him via a title search. He knew what he had when I found him, and had redone the car into a very presentable driver. Apparently, he only put 7k miles on the car in those 25 years, as the car only has approx. 34k miles on it now!

Have fun with it Scott https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Least found color by qty = Citrus and Sunflower Yellow at 5
Least found color by % = Gobi Beige at 28%

Re: MY YENKO DEUCE DREAM CAME TRUE!!!!!!
 

BTW, I have an old-school Ammon R. Smith Motor Company license plate that goes to Scott for his acquisition https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: MY YENKO DEUCE DREAM CAME TRUE!!!!!!

How about posting some more pics! If you're anything like I was, you've already stared at it for a good 12 hours, and have shot the equivelent of about 12 rolls of "film" on your digital camera... lets see some more.... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: MY YENKO DEUCE DREAM CAME TRUE!!!!!!
 

Thank u all for the kind words as im still in shock !! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif
I just never thought that i would strike a deal for a deuce without playing the whats it worth game..But now comes the fun stuff finding and locating the missing orig parts ie:rubber mat,shifter handle, smog etc, anyone have a good website for the nova stuff???The car is pretty much in what u call day 2 car and has not been touched in over 23yrs so it needs some tlc,which i think i will really enjoy this proj.Iam going to just drive the car fore now as its still a good 10 footer and do the resto when i gather the parts i need.Yes i will most certainly post more pics asap ,thanks again to marlin for the unconditional help he provided to me and asked nothing in return, he is a true gentleman of the hobby and i consider it a pleasure to call him a friend .thanks guys

last 1 orig spare xt rim and tire uniroyal tiger paw and all jacking equip never used..

Re: MY YENKO DEUCE DREAM CAME TRUE!!!!!!
 

Looks pretty good! Neat to see another FG car come out of the woodwork, and a PA car to boot! Hood tach looks to be original too...I notice your jack hook and base are painted black... Do they appear original or repainted? Mine is gray, and I'm just wondering which is correct... I know 69 Camaro had gray jack hardware, but not certain if 70 was the same... Marlin, whats the scoop? More pics!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: MY YENKO DEUCE DREAM CAME TRUE!!!!!!
 

looks orig has not been repainted that i see but https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif marlin said they should be gray colored

Re: MY YENKO DEUCE DREAM CAME TRUE!!!!!!
 

Congratulations on your find. I hope i am next https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/laugh.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: MY YENKO DEUCE DREAM CAME TRUE!!!!!!
 

The ones in my sf deuce are gray. Is that an e70? In the picture it almost looks like a 78 series. Schonye

Re: MY YENKO DEUCE DREAM CAME TRUE!!!!!!
 

To my knowledge should be gray. Check the date code on your jack, if it's way off then the whole assy might be from another car. Either way, no big deal, it's just a jack https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

The car looks excellent - much better than what was described to me 7-8 years ago! Have you smoked the tires yet?

Re: MY YENKO DEUCE DREAM CAME TRUE!!!!!!
 

Damn and I thought cigarettes were bad for ya !

Re: MY YENKO DEUCE DREAM CAME TRUE!!!!!!
 

I drove my Yenko to work today, and hazed the tires a bit during my lunch break https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif
