Pretty cool picture. Now that we know who the dealer was, anybody know what might of happened to the signs showing in the background? One was a Chevelle sign for sure, the other looks to be the ultra rare Corvette sting ray sign. You almost never see them. Gotta love those old showroom pics.

They went out of business 1976 and had an auction then. I typed the whole story of the 3 Conner Deuce's last night and when I went to submit my reply I lost the whole story. I will try again later.

When you have a long post...try typing it in Microsoft Word first...then copying and pasting it into the post area here.

It will save a lot of time (and frustration). Ask me how I know!

Brian,

We pretty much know that there were 10 CG Deuces built, and we know where 9 of them went originally. Deuces were occasionally dealer traded, but that is very hard to document. I recall our conversation at the Nova Nationals in Belterra, IN and that the dealer was Conner - Indiana. It's cool to see/hear that these cars were dealer traded, especially since we normally hear that they were distressed merchandise after Aug. '70! Yenko was putting out Bulletins to the dealers in the network notifying everyone of other dealers with excess inventory, so that was one way that far-away dealers could locate & transfer some of these SportsCars.

Cool pic, love those whitewalls!
