Neat that it is a Sport Mirror car - and they are still with the car! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] Funny how you can't open the wing windows with those silly things, [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

Missing the YENKO emblem on the fender, but has the deck lid one. Ammon R. Smith affixed a dealer decal to their cars, many times in the middle of the rear bumper - wonder if this car has one?

Wow... Does the repaint explain the odd font on the stripes? Repaint or not, awesome car.

Actually, there are several oddities with those stripes that indicates that they were likely not from Yenko. They actually look pretty good for duplicates.

Is that just a backwards &quot;Y&quot;?

Scott, my Ammon Nova had that same sticker, but it was on the bumper and I saved it.

I'm going to hazard a guess that they taped off most of the stripes, and replaced some. if you look at the color in the &quot;DEUCE&quot; it seem a tad different. And the paint is peeling around the stripes on the hood by the LT//1. That tends to make me believe they weren't taken off on the re paint. Just masked over. Maybe some pulled off with the tape and needed to be replaced, or they had them painted back on. Cronkleton's had a whole side painted on after a collision back in the day. Only the original owner will know for sure. Would sure like to visit with her.

Wow, automatic, power steering, sport mirrors. Any Dixco gauges?

Looks like a tape over stripe to me also, I wanted to note the repaint before going any further. I did some stuff like that in the 80's also, when you cant get parts so you do what you have to.. and it was the 80's....
