There is a high probability that I sat in this car when I was about 10 years old. My dad took me car shopping with him and we ended up at W.R. Austin (about 2 miles from our house). I sat in a dark colored Deuce while my dad was looking around, pretending I was drag racing it. I remember clearly the lack of carpeting. The sales guy finally yelled at me to get out and my dad ended up with a Duster.

I'm fairly sure W.R. Austin also sold a Dusk Blue Deuce. That's why I cannot be 100%.

Would actually be Fathom Blue. The colors are pretty close. Very neat story I appreciate you sharing it with us.

Six years later, when I was 16, I bought a '69 Z/28 sold new from W.R. Austin. The engine had a knock but before I got into rebuilding it I went to look at a replacement engine for sale. It was a 350, but back then originality meant nothing, I needed my car to run. Pull into the driveway of the seller and guess what's sitting there, the/a Fathom Blue Yenko Deuce. Was hit hard in the rear and was being parted. Ended up passing on the 350 rebuilding the 302 from my Z.
