[Info & pictures courtesy Earl & Bruce] "I saw this deuceadvertised for sale at the Barrett-Jackson auction 1/98. It was just what I wanted. But there was no way I would be able to make it. So afterI checked the results and found outit did not sell. The owner had left his email contact with B.J. We got together and worked out a deal. The deuce was sold new at Colonial
Chevrolet in Norfolk VA. It is loaded with both factory options. Turbo 400 and power steering. It still has the original Hurst auto stick. With Dixco gauge pack. Born with CTC 350 LT1. 410 12 bolt posi. Forest green. It is a nice driver. After a front frame off by Rick Nelson SS427. We enjoy taking the deuce to local car shows. The best part of owning old cars. Are all the good friends you make. Thanks, Earl."

Earl,

Out here in the desert we don't get to see very much green. Now that car is a sight for these sore eyes. Sweet Deuce. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

excellent!! I, too, would like to see that shifter. Surprised that the column collar was not changed. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Be advised Bruce, liking green cars does NOT make you weird. I believe you are weird for other reasons! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Very nice. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif Those auto stcks will fool ya. They look enough like a Hurst comp plus, you need to look for a clutch pedal.
By the way Earl. I have something for your trailer. They came out very nice. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

Late to the party but I just have to say...dark green, 350 callouts, bench seat, autostick...Earl your car is an unsuspecting ass-kicking waiting for a place to happen. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif
