It's an original owner car, with approx. 14k miles. Original paint, drivetrain, full paperwork and several 'day 2' additions that the owner bought via the Yenko parts catalog. I've seen the car a couple of times, owner is very aware of its value and desirability.

I spoke to one of his local friends at the first GM of Carlisle show back in 2001, he thought I had brought the wargo that day! This local friend has a '70 FG SS350 Nova that now has a dual quad tunnel ram on it. Anyway, he told me that when he bought his SS350 car, Wargo was not to be outdone and went to Yenko and bought the Deuce. This was the car that did not have the wheels changed, the XT's were still on it when Wargo visited Yenko back in the day. He insisted that Yenko swap the XT's for the Magnums, which they reluctanctly did - but simply tossed a handful of 'Y' centercap decals on the front seat as opposed to installing them onto the caps.

BTW, this is not the spencer car. The spencer car is a 4speed with p/s, and was a demo car. That car is also alive and well. Spencer got a beige 4sp w/ p/s deuce after he wrecked his silver demo car into a bridge abuttment and totalled it. That silver car is still listed as being owned by Yenko Leasing to this day. Locals recall it just sitting out behind the dealership for years.
