I do not know the story on the engine. It's very common though. I keep stats on how many of the 84 existing cars retain their original drivetrain, and it's exactly one-third; 33%. It is also split exactly 33% for 4speeds and a/t's. So 1 out of every 3 deuces, whether it's a 4sp or an a/t, has it's original drivetrain. These stats are partially based on owner's honesty since I have not been able to verify every single claim of 'matching drivetrain', but even with some 'margin of error' the 33% would be accurate.

Does this car have a trailer hitch mounted on it? It looks like some sort of hitch without the ball in one of the pictures. The Yellow JL8 car I had we found had a hitch and trailer wiring on it at some point in time. Towing with a Deuce or a JL8 car, gotta love it!

Yes, I believe that it had a trailer hitch installed at one time.
