If you're speaking of the Sunflower Yellow "Hooper" Deuce, it's last know whereabouts was a wooded backyard in Uniontown. It did have it's original drivetrain, but there wasn't much left at all of the body shell/suspension components. It was on ebay at least once...and was discussed here at length. Maybe someone can find the old thread and link it here.

Was the Deuce you were thinking of definitely bright Sunflower Yellow, or could it have been a Gobi Beige car that is a sort of pale margarine yellow?

IT WAS YELLOW AND THE GUYS LAST NAME WAS HOOPER, SO I GUESS IT IS THE SAME ONE,DOES HE STILL OWN IT?

It actually sold on ebay that time if I remember correctly, until the guy who bought it set someone down to eyeball it and nixed the deal. Perhaps the straw hanging outta the bottom that he bedded his dog house with did it.
He will tell you, ask Marlin, that he has guns. Not a real friendly dude. Last I heard it had been moved outta sight somewhere. He ain't gonna make a good Walmart greeter.

i remember the body was rough but he did have nos sheetmetal,i think the motor and the rest of the drivetrain were in other vehicles around town, been years since i have talked to mr hooper but he was a good guy back then,

It's a long story, been there, saw it, read the note on the window, it wasn't a pretty sight - I think it would have torn in half if someone tried to drag it too far. It's gone from the side yard now, not sure where it went. When I saw it, there was no drivetrain, but the original block and rear was claimed to be stashed somewhere. It had a rough life.

Marlin, Is there any record of a sunflower yellow deuce bought out of Canonsburg by a Tom or Lee Miller from Creekside area? It would have been after we bought ours. Have always wondered what happened to that deuce.
