Default Missing Yenko Deuce?



Brian, aka Nova7579 sent me this picture taken of a Yenko Deuce in a showroom window. Don't know who the dealer was or whose car it might be. He hasn't found the other pictures he showed me several years ago of three unknown Yenko Deuce conversions being delivered. As I recall in the pictures of the three Deuces, it showed the cars being delivered on tow bars and having side pipes. I'll post the pictures when he finds them.

Way cool! Is the hood tach missing, or can I just not see it? Almost looks like the stripes were a matte black...definitely don't look super shiny.

Looks like SF yellow, but might be Citrus green. It's not Rapids, so you're down to nine other choices. There is an original owner SF yellow deuce in Neb sold from H&H with side pipes. Been on pretty much from day 2. I doubt any were delivered new from Cannonsburg, or Hurst with them on, but I never say never.

Yea, you're probably right. Guess I'm trying to read to much into the picture window tint. It does look like the tachs missing. Anybody remember what Wolf's looked like in Belvidere Il.?

Is there a belle chevrolet anywhere?
I see the words "belle" in the lighted sign, and I see a picture of a bell in the reflection.

actually, upon further review it looks like they have two of those fluorescent chevy light hanging from the ceiling. the ones that say "camaro", "chevy II" or "chevelle"
they usually have the metal sides with the plastic front. that plastic usually tended to get brittle over the years. anyway,
the sign on the left has the chevy bulb working, and the sign on the right has the "velle" light working

Boy, there's a LOT going on in that picture...you can see part of the interior of the showroom, as well as the refletion of the buildings across the street...is that a '67-'72 swb I see in the reflection? And the other car in the reflection?

I think the guy taking the picture is outside at the curb and is taking the pic over the roof of a 68-72 Nova.
He looks tall.
On the CSI show they would "enhance" the photo and be able to tell who it is or view his fingerprints! To bad there wasn't a CSI on this site.
