[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Rob;
I would also assume that it would be James Spencer. James was reportedly from Chicago where his father owned a Packard dealership. Also, he was involved with the Span Inc. deal. James was the salesperson who wrecked a Cortez Silver Demo Deuce by nailing a bridge abuttment, flipping the thing over totalling it. It is still titled to Yenko Leasing. The word was that he had a stroke while driving, but other reports suggest a dui!

I'm not touching the last statement either!

Guys,Guys, Guys,,, the statement stands on its own. I am familiar with the CE engine Yenko Novas. If you recall some of my prior posts ,I purchased a CE short block that purportedly came out of a 1969 Yenko Nova.

There are people, to include current Chicago area Dealers which state they COPO ordered 427 Nova's from the factory.

(All these dealers were in Fred Gibb's Zone and knew him personally)

No, I have never seen one, but have chased many leads.

Remember, I wasn't there so I ask alot of questions and do even more listening.

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="">quote:</font><HR>Another important piece of Douglass trivia is that all Douglass COPOs, even the ones without stripes were/are faster/quicker than Yenko Deuces. The exception of course would be a COPO LT1, without stripes ,which is much lighter and has less wind drag and thus much faster/Quicker.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>


How were they faster ? Was something else done to them that was different than a *Deuce*, besides stripes ?

Casey,
My reply was,in jest.

[NWYENKO]

Darn it!! I already started pulling off the stripes to see if it would make a difference.
Do you think superglue will work to reinstall?? Jim

[Stefano]

I don't know about Super Glue, but I do dab a bit of clear on each of the stripes edges to keep them in place.
