With dealer trades, it's not unusual to find deuces at dealers that they weren't sent to.
To the best of my knowledge, there have not been any verifiable red/wht striped deuces found. Mine was a guess, and personal preference. Mr. Ed believed that Engler's was that combo, but there seems to be evidence that he was incorrect. The one in the Ernst collection was done that was as Cliff liked that combo.
I think there could have been some, just no original owner, or docs to prove it that I know of. I believe that the only color proven to go both ways is Citrus green.
Good luck with the hunt.

If this guy was the original owner, see if he has any old pics, and if he has any old registrations with the vin on them. That would help a bunch.
