The scoop is the Hurst Rebel Machine version, the twin sport mirrors are the Hurst Olds/ScRambler version, the shifter is the Hurst #4177 Pontiac GTO bench seat version, the second order of cars were shipped to Hurst - most likely for conversion. The Deuces have a major Hurst connection.

To our knowledge, no COPO Deuces received the hood scoop or twin rear spoiler (CalCustom item) options.

As for the sport mirrors, more cars received them than I thought. Here is a quick breakdown of most of the options:


Based on actual data from the 175 produced:

Auto Trans = 53/175 produced; 30%
Power Steering = 48/175 produced; 27%
Custom St.Wheel = 33/175 produced; 19% (Extrapolated)
Twin Sp. Mirror = 26/175 produced; 15% (Extrapolated)
Instrument Group= 11/175 produced; 6% (Extrapolated)

Based on the 85 Deuces found to date:

Custom St Wheel = 16 ---> 19%
Twin Sp. Mirror = 13 ---> 15%
Instrument Group= 5 ---> 6%

I had gone through the option breakdowns a few years ago, but did it again recently when 4 cars in the last 14 found had sport mirrors - that's almost 33%. So, I redid the calcs and was surprised at how the sport mirror option was catching up to the steering wheel option.

The option that I rarely do calcs on is the optional shifter. To date, I believe only 3 cars out of the 85 have that option, but I should start including that option since it's half as much as the instrument group count.

Trivia; How many deuces came with these types of dealer add-on's - in the trunk?

Thanks Marlin. You sure have an awesome inventory of information on these cars. We are all in debt to you for the countless hours of research that you must have done.
