undiscovered cars

That Motion car has been the topic of discussion! Once we found out it was a 'mail order' version, we backed off. What happened to the owner? I heard he went to Texas?

another 80's story. My buddy worked at a machine shop in Evanston, Il back in the 80's...he always used to tell me the story of a guy coming in once a month with really rare Ford stuff for sale.

The story goes that this young guy had a couple of semi's loaded with Ford racing stuff...everything ranging from a couple of complete Shelbys...to all sorts of wild induction stuff, steering wheels etc., etc.

I wonder if anyone got to clean up all of the left overs after this guy thought he creamed all of the good stuff out?

I don't think he would let Joe and Erik anywhere near it! There have been some famous quotes to arise from their visit to the shop

Heck, I was wondering for a few minutes if i was even going to get a look at the car i was buying

... j/k I was amazed when that door opened up and there sat 2 Yenko Deuces in about the least likely location you'd ever expect to find them... it was about 5 degrees that morning, and i had just spent about 7 hours driving through white-out conditions... I thought i might be seeing a mirage! That was just about a year ago to the day! Welcome to the site Chris... I wish i DID get a chance to see that orange car... -JB

I could tell you guys plenty of stories. As far as how fast the red car went. At NY international on a cool late aug. evening it ran 13.38 at 108mph. Car was jetted perfect.
108 oct. fuel, the car had been running consistant 13.5's all night. ended up breaking out on that run. dad had a .503 light which wasn't unusual for him. I think i still have the slip somewhere. It might even be in the glove box of the car. not sure. If I remember correctly we went to michigan 2 weeks later and didn't run any faster than a high 13.6 and that was the evening prior to the main event.

The deuce by maple grove is/was a clone, I spoke to the owners. It was actually created by a father/son team in Ephrata, PA at Twin Pines Motors used car dealership as a fun project. To my knowledge, the car was sold, and I lost track of it.
