Missing Yenko Deuce?

[ra6t7gto]

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

[Schonyenko2]

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.

Well, there is/was only one SunYellow Deuce sold out of Yenko that we know of - and it's the 'Hooper' Deuce. We don't know who bought it new, so it could have been the one in your area. However, a few miles away from you is a very long owned 'light yellow' (aka, gobi beige) Deuce that was probably sold after Earl bought the blue one (not the Spangler Deuce). This one was a 4speed with p/s, and was initially a demo car - it replaced the silver demo car that Spencer totalled into the bridge abuttment. So, perhaps it was a light yellow version?

Marlin, any record of how many gobi beige cars sold out of Canonsburg?

Not sure which owner you knew. Mr. Hooper was/is a sanitation worker. ie: has a sh tty job. Literally.
