Not that I am aware of. I have not heard that name associated with this Deuce.

Sure is. I just looked back at the first few pages of the thread and see where you brought that up back then. Pretty cool!

Back in the day Mark and I were good friends. In fact, his was one of three Deuces in Rantoul, Il at that time. There was a girl that bought a red with white stripes at Rogers Chevrolet. Mark had the green one and I had a Cortez Silver Deuce. Mark scattered the original LT-1 and installed a 377 motor. Not sure if he broke the tranny but I think the original 12 bolt may be in it. The car has been thru an extensive restoration and looks very correct -- but it cannot have the original engine. TAZ

I bought the green car from Mark in the early 90s and it did have the original rear end in the car but yes the motor and trans was long gone. I started the restoration but sold it mid way thru the restoration.

Are you sure the red deuce had white stripes? We've never found one that we were sure that it came with white stripes. Any idea where it is now?

Do you care to elaborate on this, for educational purposes?

Are u saying they usually came with no stripes?

This is interesting.

Red deuces normally always came with black stripes.

Here are a few pics of Jamie's Yenko Camaro. I bet it gets a LOT of attention this way!
