Marlin stated this a few years ago on here.
Tamson sold 6 1970 deuces, 4 survive, 2 are gone.
J&W Nova Parts in Danville, VA have 3 of the Tamson cars, all a/t's, one of which is Forest Green, original paint and stripes and is kept in their showroom. The 4th is also in Danville, and is owned by the owner of a car lot. This 4th deuce has an interesting story to it. The car was originally red, however the first owner wanted a blue one - so the dealership apparently repainted it blue, without the Yenko stripes re-installed! Not something you hear about every day!

Then this from Kevin Hand:
The 4th deuce is owned by a close friend and painted its original color after a 4 yr frame off resto. It is back to it original color , red. Documented and still in the city it was sold in. Bought yrs. ago from original owners son for pennies on the dollar.

According to my files, Tamson was one of only 2 Yenko network dealers in the entire state of Virginia. Colonial Chevrolet was the other.

Because Colonial had an exclusive agreement w/ Yenko and SPAN Inc. to be the sole distributor of Yenko Deuces within the Virgina Beach area.

We were payin' attention Marlin...

Bingo!! I knew you two were - but those old jokers in the back of the room were busy drawing all over some poor sap's new book

What was the next closest dealer to that range in the sales agreement?

My Geography skills aren't the greatest, but I'll guess Lustine Chevrolet in Hyattsville MD.

Boy i wish i was there Marlin to hear that info but i was always late for school

.The orig owner of my 68 ss car
said the day he went to pick it up the salesman took him for a ride in a 68 ss 427 prepped car to try and pursuade him to up-grade to the $600 427 pkg but he said that thing was a animal and barley streetable, said that he test drove a 68 l79 car but even then rumors of the 327,s demise were told to him by the salesman so he opted for the new 350/295 hp with the 4spd and the 12 bolt 355 rear

p.s iam asking for pics he took a pic of his new car at the dealer and said he belives the 427 car was in the background .
