That is a funny story, one that Josh Darden told me was just magazine rhetoric!

Colonial sponsored their own Yenko Deuce race car, at the suggestion of Don Yenko, since they were not selling too well in late '70. The racing trick was not working, and a lot attendant was stealing parts off of the car, so Colonial returned the car to the sales inventory. I've wondered how that car was sold with a warranty, but from the guys I've talked to in Norfolk and those that worked at Colonial, there was nobody from the Zone office sitting in the stands at Suffolk County Raceway.
