It's Marsha's car, she bought it new along with her girlfriend who bought a silver one new. A forest green deuce was also sold by Kidder-Knoefler, but the owner center-punched a tree with it; so the story goes. The oil guy in NY owns the Marsha car now, neat piece of history.

Brian,

The blue Conner deuce from IN was still titled as active on 9/15/77, so it could have been wrecked within 2 weeks of purchase but it was still cruising around till at least '77. This is a familiar story with deuces, many were wrecked early on - as they can get away from you pretty quick ( ), but many lived on for a brighter day - usually without stripes

Thanks Marlin!.
So that'd be the car you have the Yenko made Window Sticker for?.

Do you know if the guy plans to restore the car is true?.

It looked a lot better when it left Ia. He said it sets out. I believe him.

You ain't kidding Ken.
I'm amazed how much that car has aged,based on these photos taken 3 years prior.








These were posted the same time by Marlin too..

I can't believe he let's the car sit out. It is a shame what has happened to it.

I have several original window stickers for Deuces - you'd be surprised at the differences, and even bigger diff's vs. the '69's. The owner of the car goes by 'yenkobart' on this site if my memory is any good.

It looks artificially aged to me.You can almost see the smear marks where something was rubbed on IMO.
