[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

When looking at Joe's '69 L78 Nova at the Pittsburgh WoW show, I noticed this bright red paint marker on the chrome ignition switch, on the steering column. It was only red on the recessed area of the switch. When I questioned Joe, he simply replied that it was on all of the cars they had restored.

I knew I didn't have it on my Yenko Deuce, and assumed that it had worn off during the years of use, even though something that bright should have stuck out in my mind when seeing other deuces. Joe had said that he didn't have to touch up the red mark on his switch, so logic says that I should have seen it on the low mile deuces. I planned to check my 69 Nova SS, which only has 62k miles on it.

I looked at my '69, and the red mark is there, no trace on my deuce though.

Did this red mark stop for the '70's?
