Marlin, wow I did not know that the Little Deuce Coupe was a Mancuso car! VERY cool!
Does the guy still live in IL?
As far as the Gobi car I should mention that the car has not seen the light of day in a long time, possibly decades. I met one of the guys friends from high school and he remembered that in the 70's the car had some wild engine mods like maybe a blower. He remembered that it was the fastest car at school!
I have pics of the HO F-T Deuce that were taken while at the AMG dealer. I will scan a couple of them and have them posted.
