MY YENKO DEUCE DREAM CAME TRUE!!!!!!

Looks good! Marlin has helped a lot us find our dream car, thanks.

Many congrats to Scott! Scott did the deal right, kept calm, and got his Yenko!

This car was originally sold out of Ammon R. Smith Motor Co. in York, PA, and is one of three Yenko Deuces that we know came out of A.R.Smith. Only two of those three are existing at this time. We do not know how this car made it's way from York to Williamsport, PA, but it did, and at one time was used to chase deer. While chasing, it got stuck, and was left in the field! The seller bought the car 25 years ago, and I found him via a title search. He knew what he had when I found him, and had redone the car into a very presentable driver. Apparently, he only put 7k miles on the car in those 25 years, as the car only has approx. 34k miles on it now!

Have fun with it Scott

R&S???.....Fingers Crossed

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Nope!

The Missouri 'goners' are actually from Johnny Londoff Chev. in Flourissant, MO (Silver a/t, rolled end-over-end, stripped by the time it hit the yard, but owner got the tach and wheels), and the other two are from Riley Chev. in Springfield, MO. The blue one was wrecked, the orange one had a blown engine and was made into a dirt track car - the original block was found at a swap meet in the late '80s by another deuce owner, and he still has it.

This poses a question. How did the other Deuces meet their demise?? And what about any other SuperCars that have gone away? Anyone got any stories of how and when? I'm interested.
