Default Re: Yenko Duece Seen In The Movie "Italian Job"

Geez Marlin, what did ya do, play the scene frame by frame? I almost missed the whole thing just by tippin a cocktail as the Nova came on. Seems I remember you mentioning seeing this car in person somewhere, so I am certain you noticed all the incorrect stuff that blind drunk old guys like me could not catch in 15 seconds. It did cross my mind though, Yenko didnt do black on the Deuce's did he? And was that movie clone black? I am thankful the Hollywood Yo Yo's dont tear up the real ones in the movies. I read somewhere it was 200+ 68 Chargers used to make the Dukes of Hazzard show, and 11 of them where originally Hemi cars. Aaagghh!

Yea, I remember the inconistencies from seeing the car in person, I have not seen the movie. Yenko did not make any black cars in '70, nor '68 & '69 for that matter, so the incorrect stuff is a little obvious - different year and color.

There are a few (real) deuces painted black today though, common thing to do with some of the paint colors. One deuce was originally gobi beige, now it's black with the stripes painted on in silver, 427 installed by owner!
