The Greatest Day of my Life

[hvychev]

On 3-1-04 at 12:30am a life long dream came true. A 1970 Yenko Deuce Nova was delivered to my home on a trailer from New York. A lot of you already know about the deal and have helped me in many ways and I appreciate it and thank you all for keeping it under wraps till now. This was a very hectic and nerve wracking deal with twists, aggravation, and deceit all along the way. I am just glad that it is all over and that the seller was a true man of integrity. I know I am not accepting an Oscar but I feel the need to thank a few people publicly. Some of you have multiple supercars but like Mr. Tom Clary told me on the phone yesterday you will never forget your first!

First I would like to thank Ken Schoenthaller (schonyyenko) the original Deuce king who if not for him I absolutely would not have this car. I had been talking with Ken for a few months and after missing a few Ken was nice enough to give me the lead on this Deuce. Ken I thank you and am forever in your debt. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

Of course no Deuce find/purchase story would be complete without thanking Marlin Spotts for his help, counseling, and information in regard to this Deuce. I really am thankful that there is someone like you in the hobby that tirelessly researches and helps people with these cars and to think he does it for free for his love of the hobby. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

Next I would like to thank my friends Joey Barr and Steve Sandlin for keeping me in line and my head cool while this whole ordeal was taking place. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Last but certainly not least I would like to thank Mr. Tom & Rob Clary for all there help. I would not AT ALL have as much knowledge about muscle cars/supercars if it were not for these two gentleman and the sYc. Tom please reserve a spot for me at SCR7 and I will definitely be racing the Deuce till she's broke! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

Now about the car! The car is the 75th car produced and has the YS# of 42. It was sold out of Loehmann Chevrolet Waterbury, Conn. The car is listed in the Yenko inventory and has an inventory sheet from GMAC to Loehmann with the vin#'s of mine and three other Deuces that they received. It is Cranberry Red, Black stripes, M21 4 speed, & 4.56 rear. The car was purchased by the previous owner in 1994 and was restored by him in 1995-1996. It looks to be a mostly correct resto with a lot of the correct components like tach, front seat, shifter, rubber mat, manifolds, smog, lacquer paint, spiral shocks, etc. The car has not been driven on the street since resto but has had its fair share of time on the race track. The car was raced at many tracks including the organized Muscle Car Review COPO/Yenko race that they had in I think 1998. The previous owner tells me that the car ran a best of 13.40 on Wide Ovals with manifolds, and smog. I hear that he raced against COPO PETE? Pete do you have any other info that you can provide me? The car was also featured in the American Muscle Car episode on Speedvision about the COPO cars. It is the only Deuce featured in the video. The car was also shot for an upcoming issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines and from what the seller tells be it will be a great spread complete with a smokey burn out shot! The car does have a correct motor and the block does have the correct serial # stamped in it but I have no idea if it is the original engine. The car is 34 years old so who knows what has happened in that time.

The car is one bad MF! I drove it this morning to give it a bath and she moves! The power especially with the 4.56 rear snaps your neck into the back seat. I am definitely going to swap out the gear but it is going to tear me up whether I am going to day 2 her or not. (most likely not) Sorry about the long winded post but now I am going to post some pics.

AWSOME Frank!, I am with Charley leave the gears! and by a open trailer if ya need to travel with the car, unload and have fun at that point.

I don't know why some deals require a case of Tums to be consumed before they are done but you are the Winner it is in your garage. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[SS427]

Congrats Frank!!!! I can finally tell you that since I had to keep my mouth shut! Is it safe to assume that the Chevelle will be staying home? Hope so. I know how bad you wanted the car and have worked hard for it. Enjoy! There are only a few of us non-supercar owners left. Guess I better get off my butt and do something about that! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif
Rick

[hvychev]

Sorry for the quality of the pics. They look like crap. The car looks better in person than in the pics. I know thats a first! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

The gear is going to be changed because I like to drive my cars and it would be hard to go anywhere with that type of gear. Oh BTW Dennis, NO WHITE WALLS! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif Hmmmmmm...how about some wide Goodyears with some slots....

The closest that white walls will get to this car will be when a Gobi Beige Deuce is next in the staging lanes at SCR7, untill the last thing he sees are my tail lights! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

[Bob]

Congratulations. I hope my car, exactly like yours with sport mirrors, will look that good some day.

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Frank!!!
You are very, very welcome, I appreciate the comments, and am glad that it all worked out in the end.

You have a very good car there, and it can run the number to boot! Did you receive the information about your original owner, or prior owner? I just spoke with the prior owner last weekend, but I'm not sure of the exact name of your original owner. Neal got that info via a title search, and he is alive and well in CT. We'll get you hooked up with them.

As for SCR7, better bring your wood screws along http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
I just saw that car racing COPO Pete's on the SPEED channel this past weekend, it's a tape worth buying - also had Brian's yellow yenko camaro, his dad's turbo z, and lots of yenko camaro burnout shots - I wonder who.....

[Eddie M.]

I swear i can see your smile reflecting off the paint job http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Congrats Frank http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[hvychev]

Thanks for all the kind replies. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Marlin I would love to have all that previous owner info since I did not get it with the car. Neal did tell me that he spoke to the original owner of my car.

Hey Marlin am I the youngest CURRENT owner of a Deuce at 26yrs old?

[chads454Ls6]

Frank,glad to see you got your dream car,you deserve it! Now,we have to find that old man cumby one because everytime we post one of these cars found and purchased,he gets his pantys in a bunch! Also, it is time Rick N. picked one up as well so i can ride with him! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif

[LVCamaro]

Congrats Frank! Looks like I won't be the youngest Deuce owner now. I was nervous about you for a while, but breathing into the paperbag seemed to help. Looks like a neat car, and I look forward to seeing you [at the lights] at SCR7.

But it is you who has the 1 ton and two trailers so it likely wouldn't change when I do get a SuperCar. However, I have never minded driving your truck so you can still ride with me. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif

[mhassett]

Frank, Way to go with the DEUCE!!! I bet you are glad it's over and in your garage.. I look forward to seeing it at the REUNION. ENJOY-you Deserve it!!

[Bill Pritchard]

Frank,

Well, I suspected something was up but I definitely wasn't expecting this!!! I am jealous. And don't you dare swap out those 4.56 gears http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif When you need to travel, just put the tach at 3 grand and however long it takes you to get there, so be it. You will have so much fun with the 4.56, you won't know whether to $hit or go blind http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[Mr70]

I thought I heard something new Idling at 1:00AM.

[DarrenX33]

Congrats Frank. Glad to hear it arrived safely.

[Jeff H]

Stop playing with your toys and go make your bed young man. Or it will be no dinner for you! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Kids nowadays, they're spoiled rotten! I want a Deuce, I want a Deuce!

Very nice car Frank, now get back to work so you can pay for it.

[COPO PETE]

Wow, and congrats. This will be the best day of your life. I heard Neil had sold the car, and am glad to hear that someone got it that will really appreciate it. It is a pretty car!!! I think it was featured in both the Nova and the COPO Supercar episodes of American Musclecar Get a copy of each. I would leave the 4:56 in it as well!..... you may need them if we ever get a chance at a rematch! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif

CONGRATS Frank...just goes to show that supercars aren't just for the "aged" crowd (can't use "mature" cause that's a relative term http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif)....it's also great to see that you were able to keep your Chevelle...... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Hey Frank,
I will work on that original owner and prior owner info.

I'll also copy some of my pics I took of your car when it was just hours from being finished. I met Neal and his son Chris in Binghamton, NY at 1:00am on a Saturday night in April of '97. We proceeded on to the Super Chevy Show in New Hampshire where we were joined by two other Yenko Deuces. It was a nice time, with good pics of three deuces!

[Jeff Murphy]

Allright Frank!! Looking forward to shooting pics of you and your car at SCR7.
http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

[NWYENKO]

Congrats, Frank. If you are the youngest,I must be the oldest Deuce owner http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif. Like you I will never forget the day the Deuce was unloaded http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif. As a matter of fact I think I will make a pass through town in your honor. The sun is shining and the Deuce is always ready to be exercised!! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gifI put a set of Hedman headers and flowmasters on it and picked up 50 hp. at the rear wheels and really added to the enjoyment of driving her. Sounds pretty wicked!! Have FUN!! Jim

Let me rephrase that. I don't mean to give everyone the wrong impression of my good friend Rick.

I should have said "He's more partial to the Big Block cars." I know Rick loves and respects Deuces as much as I do.

My apologies to Rick and anyone else who might have taken it the wrong way! Me and my big mouth! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Dennis,
all the debates that have taken place on this site lately must have you gun shy. I admit it.......it's true. Nothing runs like a big block especially when in a big car. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif The fact that of the over 100 cars I have owned that only two were small blocks should have nothing to do with that. Ok, start throwing the mud. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

Back to you Frank! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[PxTx]

That a boy Frank! SCR7 is looking very good now. Can't wait to see you row the gears...Speaking of, '56s are no problem. My L79 runs all day on the open road at 6000 RPM. Heck, a solid lifter motor knows no RPM limit. I say enjoy the revs http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[bilede]

congrats on the new Deuce Frank!! all of them should be owned by us young guys right!! atleast young at heart! have fun!

[gemleeus]

very nice machine, congratulations.

[Schonyenko2]

Sure glad that deuce finally showed up. I was a little afraid you were going to have the big one. Happy to see that it all worked out.
Thanks for the compliment, but I'm not the deuce king, Just the mayor of Donahue. I don't wear a crown, but if you don't pay your bill I will shut your water off.(Now thats real power!)
You may be the youngest current owner now, but I've got a couple of grandsons who just might dispute that in a couple of years! Enjoy her Frank. Lifes short, makeum all count. Schonye http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

With the ever increasing number of Yenko Deuces headed to SCR7, and all of the bench racing going on here, I was thinking maybe we need a traveling trophy, going each year the one that sets low ET. That Deuce owner would have braggin' rights until the following SCR.

Do not know about the Camaros, as I see it costing me $$$. At past SCRs, Dru has ran some pretty good numbers with his Yenko, so I am sure Rob would want to "tweak" ours a little to try and compete. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

Maybe do the big block Novas. See if any of the other "big boys" would like to come out and play with us. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[JChlupsa]

Would this be a traveling trophy that would change hands every year with the new winner each year thus making it so the past years winner would just about have to show!!! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headbang.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

The trophy from the Yenko Deuce Registry, that would be kind of neat. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

Not for sure if you would want Rob, he might be trying to squeese a big block in there. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

Frank,

CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am very happy for you!!!!!!!!
What a beautiful car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had heard from a few of your close friends that they were helping someone find a car. They never said who or what car but when I saw your post, it all came together. I am so very happy for you!!!!! Know there are some mighty fine people "out there" who think very highly of you.

Your post was a joy to read. What a pleasure it was to have you share your excitement, delight and enthusiasm over your new "baby"! It sure brought back some very wonderful memories for me. And your "lengthy" post....heck, at least you could type....I can give you the name of a guy who stood and cried for more than half an hour when a particular car he had just purchased rolled off the trailer! Thank you for sharing your moment with us. People such as yourself make this site as special as it is.

I know the feeling, Frank...

Steve, Congratulations on your new addition....A really great car, there are none better. Glad to see that it went to a good home.

SS, PLEASE clean the tire tread already! PS, do you like the mags and strippers?...BKH

[Belair62]

While you're at it...wash that filthy floor http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[LVCamaro]

The mags and redlines will go on it next week, when I get back home. Then I'll feel better about driving it a bit. The car arrived just as I was leaving town for the week, so I'll tighten up the dusty tire tread first thing Sunday. The Kelsey-Hayes "Strippers" are going on the DH Camaro too. They turned out VERY NICE!

My congrats too SS! If you find any bad spots in the paint (doubtful) they're probably my fault 'cause I drool over that car every time I'm around it. She sure looks comfortable in the new barn. Hope it brings you lots o' smiles. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

Congrats, awesome car..

[Supercar_Kid]

Congrats on the new acquisition Steve. John Milner, take a step back, SS now owns "the bitchinest car in the valley" for sure. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif I'm amazed to hear that it'll see some street use, just don't let the valets park it behind the Stardust. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif

[gemleeus]

what kind of car is that?

[Steve Shauger]

Congrats Steve, an awesome car. Glad you own it and you will use it some...

[LVCamaro]

I'll drive it once in a while. I'm having an exact duplicate hood made, and Brian sold me a set look-alike Mags with Redlines so I won't be a nervous wreck when I drive it out on the streets of LV. It probably won't log 100 miles a year, but driving it a little is the right thing to do, IMO. Maybe line it up with Shor's BY Yenko Chevelle or Belair's blackie at SCR7. Rob drives too good to mess with him http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

SS

[Charley Lillard]

Gemleeus.........Look at past feature cars.

[gemleeus]

10-4, absolutely stunning!

[hvychev]

Charley that car was never a feature car.....you might be thinking of when it was in Muscle Car Review magazine although it should be a feature car..... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

Looks like someone is trying to corner the market on Dick Harrell cars! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif Steve,congrats on yet another very rare and amazing supercar.

[Seattle Sam]

Wow,
That must be the coolest Chevelle hood I have ever seen! That's a great car, Steve - looks good in your shop there!

[LVCamaro]

I cleaned up the dusty tires, Brian, then put the other set mags and Redlines on it...

SS

[LVCamaro]

I think it looks good with the Redlines, and I know I'll feel better driving it with these instead of those 36 year old original whiteline tires...

LVCamaro,

Good to see Joe's Chevelle go to a good home, congratulations. There is some neat history about the 5 Chevelles that Dick made in 1968. I still remember the day at the 2002 SYC reunion when Dave Libby stood over that engine compartment. It was a moment frozen in time. He had not seen the car since it left the shop. I bet a good forensic fingerprinter could find Dick and Daves fingerprints somewhere on that car. Unless Joe and Brian went crazy with the detail brushes. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
