Yenko Deuce Found

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

It's not Belky's or Holub's.

Isn't there a law that limits the number of Yenko's to be located in any one state?? [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Glad to hear this Marlin.
Can you tell us details where it has been all this time?
I recently talked to MR.ED,who was in Charge of ordering the Yenko Deuce for Fencl-Tufo.
He told me to come back and he will see if his records are in order for these rare ducks.He has a lot of stories!

Apparently, the last IL owner decided to move to Florida, and took the Yenko with him. Before it moved to FL, it must have had some work done to it at a place in Carol Stream, IL. I don't remember the name of the place, but there's some notes from Yenko and a shipping label from Yenko Chev. in McMurray - so it must have been at least in the mid to late '70's. The car recently showed up at a body shop in Port St. Lucia, still has the IL plates on it, see pic. Now it's on a trailer to IA.

Any chance this is the same car that all you Chi-town guys remember driving past behind a repair shop?

Marlin, Awsome news about another Deuce find! I will be contacting you soon about a Deuce.

BTW The legendary Deuce behind A-Len radiator repair shop was supposed to be Hugger Orange less motor? [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/confused.gif[/img]

Was the engine block in the trunk? That car was also a Fencl Tufo car, 4sp, no p/s, sold new to a guy in Carpentersville, IL. Some antique dealer ended up with it about 4-5 years ago, it's now in OH being restored.

See the vintage supercars page for a pic of this orange deuce from Fencl Tufo.

Car was delivered yesterday, got a call from the new owners last night. Now we are searching for the paperwork, we know it's out there, just not sure which guy has it.

Rick;
Who is the this MR.Ed guy??

Frank;
Are you referring to a Yenko Deuce that you might have found?

Marlin-

I have had an offline discussion with Frank regarding the Orange Deuce he has ID'd. I remember this car. Many years ago (1990 I believe) there was a Deuce Nova fitting this description down the block from A-len. I saw it at AMG Motorsports (Mercedes Tuner). At the time they had a low mile Orange 69 Z in their showroom. I noticed the Deuce around back when I pulled up. After I was done looking at the Z/28 I asked about the Nova. I remember the guy saying that it was scheduled to be restored. Since then AMG has gone under and an antique store occupies the building.

Not sure how useful this info is now but after talking to Frank we thought you might find it interesting.

I did not actually ID this car I just brought the car up in the post. I have heard about this car from numerous people since I became a member here. I work literally 5 minutes from A-Len radiator shop so if anybodys interested I can go inquire about the car. Marlin if I am not mistaking I think you already know the whereabouts of this car. (Is it the orange one that is featured in the vintage supercar photos section on this site?)

BTW Marlin and anyone else please try and submit more vintage photos of supercars! I still look at the same cars in this section at least once a day!

Was this car ever in Wisconsin? I remember an unrestored red Deuce that showed up for a car show at Holz Chevrolet in Milwaukee. Original paint and original rust. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
