70 Yenk Deuce Cowl Tag

[Bob Martin]

I have a 70 yenko deuce. On the cowl tag it has 0369 under the paint code is this a copo code. I was also wondering how to register it with this site.

[mockingbird812]

Welcome Bob. Tell us more about your Deuce. Won't be long before the Deuce experts chime in on yr question. Marlin Spotts aka "<font color="red"> Yenko Deuce Registry </font>" will help you with your registry.

Got any pix? Where was it delivered new?

Welcome Bob,

The number that you referenced on the trim tag is an internal production tracking number for the Fisher body plant, and does not relate to any options - copo or rpo. This number will increase linearly with the body sequence number until there is either a color or transmission type change, then it appears to start over.

Speaking of trim tags, I'll try to anticipate your next question which might be what does the 'A' indicate on the bottom row of the trim tag. The 'A' indicates that the interior items other than the seats will be black. Some feel that this letter only indicates the paint color of the dash, others believe it incidates the colors of all non-seat items in the interior. Truthfully, we don't know exactly, but suffice to say - an 'A' indicates black, (B = blue, S = sandalwood, G = green, M = gold, etc...)

Tell us more about your Deuce!

PS: Hmmm.... Bob's in Brockton, MA - Scher Chev was in Brockton, MA.... possibly a Scher Deuce?

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

While you guys are sniffing something.... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif I was analyzing some numbers. I have 5 other Deuces in my database with prod seq numbers close to Bob's, so I'll venture a guess that number 0369 belongs to either a Cortez Silver Deuce built in 06A or a Gobi Beige Deuce built in 05D or 06A.

If Bob wants to reveal the last 6 digits of the body sequence number.... I could pratically tell him the key code numbers! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif

[ORIGLS6]

http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif I can't help it; I love Deuces. Gotta know more, gotta know more, gotta know NOW! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Bob,
In all honesty the guys on this site are as knowledgable and helpful as anyplace you'll find. Even that Mockingbird dude might have something to offer. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif Didn't mean to scare you off. I think you'll like it here. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[Bob Martin]

Thanks Everyone I've own the car for a while. From what I've found the car was from Scher chevy in Brockton, MA. It has been a brockton area car it's whole life. I have names of people who owned it just trying to get in touch. The car needs everthing it is silver W/ black. The body number on the tag is WRN337280 and was built in 06A Was not sure if someone here owns a sister car to it. I also own a 67 camaro pace car. That is a Brass hat car that was used on the track on race day. There is sister's cars of that one. one of them is also in Mass. So I was just curious to see if there any sister cars to mine Deuce. Thank You Bob

[Allen]

Oh man, a silver Deuce.... I want one!

Allen (actually, any color Deuce would be fine)

Bob,

There's this little town in Iowa just North of Davenport...............and they know a little about Deuces. If you haven't heard from these guys yet, I'm betting it won't be long. Just don't sell it to them; they've got enough already! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Schonye and Marlin can help you with virtually anything you might need. Great guys! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

[Schonyenko2]

Thank goodness that it's silver, and not Goobi beige. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
Welcome Bob. Glad to hear from another deuce owner. Now we're gonna bug you to death for pictures. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

HA! There is logic to the numbers http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gif Glad to hear that it's a CSilver in 06A - wish it was GBeige, but that's just me http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif Sort of figured it was a Scher car as well.

Your body sequence number tells me that the car is indeed Cortez Silver, built in the first order of 125 Deuces ordered in late '69 by Yenko SportsCars Inc. Of the 10 Yenko Inventory Sheets, your car is on page 6 (which we unfortunately don't have http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif ), but we know that it's an a/t without p/s, was ordered from GM under order #QLL496, and was the 105 Deuce produced.

There were 25 CSilver Deuces produced, an 'avge' production color, and there are 11 remaining as of today (counting yours), which gives a survival rate of approx. 44% - on par for Yenko Deuces in total which have a current survival rate of around 56%. Of the 11 remaining, 8 are 4speeds and 3 are a/t's.

Of the 25 CSilver Deuces produced, there were 17 4speeds, and 8 a/t's. They are further broken down via cars with p/s: 15 4speeds, 2 4speeds w/ p/s &amp; 4 a/t's, 4 a/t's w/ p/s.

There is a sister car to yours, CSilver, a/t, w/ p/s that is one body number apart located in MN that was sold new at Grossman Chev. in Minneapolis, MN.

Let me know if you've got an inventory sheet - I've got 6 to trade ya if ya do!

A guy on the Nova site has a batch of Scher doc's, he might have your original bill of sale.

Any pics?

[Dog427435]

Marlin - you are amazing!

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Nah! Just a numbers guy who really likes Novas http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

BTW, when I said that CSilver is an 'avge' production color, I meant in terms of volume - not in personal taste! Of the 8 colors available, 2 are high producion, 3 are average production and 3 are low production:

HOrange = 10 produced
SYellow = 10 produced
CGreen = 10 produced

CSilver = 25 produced
GBeige = 25 produced
FGreen = 25 produced

FBlue = 35 produced
CRed = 35 produced

Total = 175 produced

[camarojoe]

Im assuming that blue and red became "high production" colors because an additional 10 of each were ordered in the second batch of cars, whereas silver, beige, and forest green were replaced by the 3 newly available colors?

[Bob Martin]

Thanks Everbody for the info. You guys are the best &amp; you did not scare me away yet. HA HA I do not have any paper work on the car. you guys know more than i do. Hope to learn more about these cars &amp; also my car. Does your info say what else the car had. Like wheels or after market gauges. Ext. Thanks Again to Everbody

[MikeA]

Bob,
Welcome aboard! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif I have a 4-speed silver Deuce sold out of Wallace Chevrolet in Linden, New Jersey. Marlin is the man when it comes Yenko Deuces! He has helped me out a great deal.

[camarojoe]

Yep, Marlin has forgot more about Deuces than most anyone else has ever learned. Oh and he also holds the title of "second fastest Deuce" at every SCR. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I have a feeling 2008 is gonna be his year though! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

[bkhpah]

Man Silver is the color I would most like to have..BKH http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[Nova Jed]

I would love to have my hands on one period! Partial to Citrus Green though! LOL

[COPO PETE]

Silver cars are fast! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif Sounds like a kool car!

Ditto here; a CS 4 speed is my dream. (Since Shadow Gray wasn't available. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif)

[JK98SS]

A local guy had a CS Duece but it was crashed, rolled and is now long gone. He is from the Jerseyville, IL area.

[/ QUOTE ]

Correct, CRed and FBlue were the only colors in both batches of cars.

For the record, my deuce is the #1 fastest pure stock deuce - technically speaking of course! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif CopoPetes COPO Nova has run a faster time than mine, but... but.... well all right, mine is #2 http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif

Parts of the Jerseyville Deuce still live on! The guy who rolled it was not the original owner, but we found the original owner and he had an amazing stash of original parts in his attic. Those parts were purchased and installed on another deuce that is original paint, original drivetrain, full paperwork.... and is a two owner car that gets raced at SCR's!

BTW, Trivia question: This Jerseyville Deuce was specifically ordered with the hood scoop option when the original owner was checking off options from the brochure - however, Londoff didn't have a Silver deuce, what dealer did they transfer one in from, and did it have the scoop?

[camarojoe]

No idea what dealer they transferred it from, but i can bet it didn't have a hood scoop.

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

You are correct about the hood scoop - that was a gimme! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[PeteLeathersac]

Were any Deuces shipped new to a Canadian dealer...not including Copo Pete's Clark Kent car or it's lost brother?.

And welcome Bob...cool wheels aside you may have performed the classiest entrance into this group ever!.

~ Pete
http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

We know of no Yenko Deuces that were initially shipped/sold out of Canada, although there are two in Canada today.

[camarojoe]

OK, Marlin, since no one else is playing,I'll take a random guess... Bob Ericksen?

[mockingbird812]

1st choice: Nankivell in Indy
2nd choice: Gates in South Bend
3rd choice: Harry May in Monroe, MI

[ORIGLS6]

Sam took my guess; Nankivell. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[camarojoe]

Oh NOW everyone's playing... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif If we're taking multiple guesses at once, I'll take Colonial for my second choice...Not exactly across the street, but if any dealer had an "extra" silver deuce sitting around it would be them.

[mockingbird812]

When you are a rookie playin' in the big leagues, its a good idea to hedge your bets. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[ORIGLS6]

OK, for my alternative, I'll pick Mancuso. (But I still think it's a trick question. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hmmm.gifNow where's the bean counter?)

[Mr70]

I'll say Loehmann in Waterbury,Ct.

Here's some'n for you Dennis.
circa 1960 on NW corner Lincoln Ave.&amp; Galitz St.

[Schonyenko2]

Cliff Peck, although it doesn't show on his sale ads. Ericksen only had the blue deuce Cronkleton has.
I think Don thought the scoope option might sell, but putting one of those on, is not a quick, or easy task. And without a different aircleaner that opens at the top, it's non functional. While it may have seemed like a good idea, the reality of the install probably made it not very cost effective from a dealer stand point. JMHO

Wait a minute!! I think the scoop was shipped to Peck after the CS deuce was dealer swapped and wound up on a cranberry red one. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Sorry, I was in Boston for a few days. I stopped off in Waterbury on the way back for some gas, but couldn't remember the addy for Loehman - or I would have looked it up.

Schoneye nailed it, Cliff Peck Chev in Little Rock, AR dealer swapped the CS deuce to Londoff that was later wrecked. The original owner never really noticed that although he bought the deuce at Londoff, they apparently never replaced the Cliff Peck emblem on the deck lid!

Enough of the useless trivia, how about a pic of this Scher Deuce?? I'm sure Ed up in RI is following this thread, and might just have the original Bill of Sale for it http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

[Bob Martin]

Ed Did contact me and is looking for the paper work. I Will let you know if he has it.

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Cool!

I guess you might already know of the other two silver deuces in your back yard??
