Re: Looking for a Duece that I spotted in Syracuse.
 

While on the subject of Yenko Deuces, a buddy of ours bought a 70 big block Nova from a guy up in Iowa probably about 5 years ago and he sold it shortly later. Our friend said that when he went there to get the car the guy took him into his barn and showed up this Yenko Deuce, I think it was green?? that was rotting away. The quarters were shot said it was a 4 speed car. The only reason the guy didnt buy it was because it was to much and he didnt have the room at his shop so thats why he bought the big block. Does anyone know anything about this car??? Has anyone restored it. Unfortunately we dont talk to this guy to much anymore but if I come across him at a car show I'll be sure to ask him more info on the car and what part of Iowa it was at.

Kevin, I was referring to your last find, looked kinda like a '69Z? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

There were some deuces that got restriped very early in their lives, and it is not unusual for them to receive a different color, or in my car's case a combination of '69 and '70 stripe components. I believe you when you say the car had white stripes on it when you saw it, but it may have originally come with black - or white, we need to speak with the orig. owner (Mike??)

I am not aware of a blue with black stripe car being pulled out of a junkyard recently, the last one I heard about was in AR/CT.

Novastud, the car is still there, original owner, F.Green, 4speed, no power steering, originally sold out of Dale Chev. in WI. There is an active buyer at this time.

Wacky,

Yes, thats me! I know we've e-mailed awhile back but what years did you work at Bresee? I'll look for your mail.

Marlin, not sure what you are refering to with regard to the local newspaper ad. Was this a recent advertised find that your friend Charley found?

Marlin,

I've spoken to and visited with George Grooms who was the second owner. He said the car had a 427 in it when he purchased it. He said he had pictures of the car but I never saw them. Anything is possible with regard to the stripes. As far as the original owner...I'm not sure at this time. I stopped digging once I knew the car was found. I'll see what I can find out.

Mike;
My reference to a newspaper ad was in regard to how George Lyons found the car. He placed an ad in a NY newspaper looking for a Yenko Camaro, and the deuce owner contacted him. This was over 10+ years ago I believe.

Marlin your killing me. I was just starting to get a good nights sleep again. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif Yup, green "Z" with a Yenko VIN #. I guess you know the story. Never ever go look at a car without all the facts. Or in this case all the money. I know, I'm preaching to the choir.. Mike I worked for Bresee from '79 thru 'late '81. I was then College bound.

Marlin call it stupidity...It's kinda like the cast members on Survivor, trust no one. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Marlin as far as the stripe colors Mr. Ed told me that the Cranberry Red Deuce sold out of Fencl Tufo Chevrolet now owned by Gino originally had white stripes. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif
