Re: Yenko Deuce Stripe Theory
I think thats a VERY good possiblity that Don "took" some ideas from the Boss 302 'stang, and that oddball positioning of the hood stripes in the attachment does look VERY similar to the layout of the 70 Boss stripes...i saw that similarity the first time that old ad was posted a few months ago... There are many more similarities to consider too, hood tachs, magnum 500 wheels, high revving small block, etc...I feel that it is possible, and probably likely, that Don's original ideas for the Deuce included SCCA Trans-Am racing. Very interesting thoughts indeed! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img] Tom C... do you have anything in that giant vault of Yenko paperwork of yours that may support this idea? How about you Joe C?

Re: Yenko Deuce Stripe Theory
Another notable thing to go along with this idea... compare the Boss 302 hood scoop to the original promotional photos of the Deuce with that AMC hoodscoop on it...hmmm!

Re: Yenko Deuce Stripe Theory
I think the Trans-Am theory is a possibility but I wonder why it never happened. I donít know too much about SCCA Trans-Am racing but was/is there a minimum number of vehicles that had to be produced in order to qualify? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif[/img]
