Yenko Deuce Pics

Hi, I bought this car from the person who bought it, he only had it a short time (about 1988). I owned it until 2002 when I sold it to a collector in northern Il. I did get the original engine with the car & it was in the boat @ the body shop as mentioned. The car was the same as pictured except for the hood & tunnel ram.

Really? Different car then, not the one at SCR8 - but that one hit a post as well!! Hard to tell which is which without a vin number to trace. Jerry's old car was sold out of Sam Leman Chev in Roanoke as well - anyone want to guess which other dealer might have sold two CG deuces?

BTW this car is still in IL, owned by BobJ.

My guess would be Colonial, in Norfolk VA.

YEP, they sold it in April/May of '71 - but there was another deuce sold even later than this

A red automatic from Capitol was the last one sold, right?

**YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY** · #6 03-15-2007, 10:27 PM

That was the last one produced (per body number), but from the info we have not the last one sold.

you sure about that? Whats the date the last one sold? I have a letter from Capitol with a very late date on it stating the red Deuce was still in their inventory well into 71...I was thinking it was you who told me it was the last one ever sold.

Some time back I remember us looking at a drivers side photo posted or linked by someone of a Citrus deuce sitting in a driveway and wondering if it was real or not. I believe it was from the same area in Illinois... It was a recent photo. I'll have to dig thru the search... You remember this M? When discussing the photo we did reference that it was not Bob's car...

Found it...

I have been told by a friend that the father of the young man that has the Yenko Deuce in Ottawa, Il now says it is a clone. I will find out for sure.
Now that I know the one that I started the thread about is accounted for here is some info.
James Ohlendorf ( the tall lanky kid in the 2nd photo) was the second owner of the car. A guy named Bomgarts bought in new I believe at Lehman's. He hit a mailbox with it and somehow Jim's dad (owner of Ottawa engine ended up with the car and it eventually went to Jim). Jim raced it a few times at Oswego and ran some 12.70's spinning the tires hard through first.
I am going to see Jim this weekend and I am going to see if he has any interesting stuff on the car.
