Default Re: An interesting Yenko story

I spoke with J. Griffin last evening regarding Ed's Central Deuce that he used to own. I was mistaken in that he did not purchase that particular car from someone in OH, (I was thinking of Cliff's red deuce), he purchased the car from Carl Dwiggins. When he purchased the car it was silver with stripes, however they were not yenko's stripes but rather another person's effort at recreating the stripes.

I do not know where Carl purchased the car, nor do I have
contact info for Carl. Speaking with Carl is relevant in our efforts to determine if this car is indeed the Gilchrist car, or coincidentally another silver deuce raced by another Central Chev.

The other way to determine which car this is, would be to see a firewall pic with visibility of the speedo cable exit. The original poster is working on that!
