Yenko Deuce Pics

Same car as the one at SCR8. I believe this car takes the cake for having the most owners, somewhere around 17 +/-. The mailbox post also put a dent in the roof from what I'm told, maybe it was just the hood though - bad memory. I think this car spent time in Wyoming as one of the owners went to school out there, but it came back to IL. Eventually the car was bought by Wade Fletcher in WI, then bought by the current owner in MI. The car was sold new at Sam Leman Chev in Roanoke, IL.

Very cool pics, love the tires and engine - not the first deuce to have dual quads stuck through the hood!

Hi, I bought this car from the person who bought it, he only had it a short time (about 1988). I owned it until 2002 when I sold it to a collector in northern Il. I did get the original engine with the car & it was in the boat @ the body shop as mentioned. The car was the same as pictured except for the hood & tunnel ram.

Really? Different car then, not the one at SCR8 - but that one hit a post as well!! Hard to tell which is which without a vin number to trace. Jerry's old car was sold out of Sam Leman Chev in Roanoke as well - anyone want to guess which other dealer might have sold two CG deuces?

BTW this car is still in IL, owned by BobJ.

My guess would be Colonial, in Norfolk VA.

YEP, they sold it in April/May of '71 - but there was another deuce sold even later than this

A red automatic from Capitol was the last one sold, right?

**YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY** · #7 03-15-2007, 10:27 PM

That was the last one produced (per body number), but from the info we have not the last one sold.

Some time back I remember us looking at a drivers side photo posted or linked by someone of a Citrus deuce sitting in a driveway and wondering if it was real or not. I believe it was from the same area in Illinois... It was a recent photo. I'll have to dig thru the search... You remember this M? When discussing the photo we did reference that it was not Bob's car...

I have been told by a friend that the father of the young man that has the Yenko Deuce in Ottawa, Il now says it is a clone. I will find out for sure.
Now that I know the one that I started the thread about is accounted for here is some info.
James Ohlendorf ( the tall lanky kid in the 2nd photo) was the second owner of the car. A guy named Bomgarts bought in new I believe at Lehman's. He hit a mailbox with it and somehow Jim's dad (owner of Ottawa engine ended up with the car and it eventually went to Jim). Jim raced it a few times at Oswego and ran some 12.70's spinning the tires hard through first.
I am going to see Jim this weekend and I am going to see if he has any interesting stuff on the car.
