<font color="#006600">"This Forest Green Yenko Deuce Nova is one of 25 produced in this popular color, and so it should be no surprise that 20 of them are existing today. This car is an automatic, without power steering, 1 of 4 so equipped in this color. This particular deuce was the 97th car produced, and was purchased many years ago as it was left sitting on the front lawn by the original owner. Since then the car has led a very sheltered life inside the showroom of the J&amp;W Nova Parts Co. This car still has its original paint &amp; stripes, along with some common day 2 additions."

"This Yenko Deuce was sold new at Tamson Chevrolet in Danville, VA along with 5 other Deuces. Tamson received 4 automatics and 2 four speeds on 6/25/70, J&amp;W now owns 3 of the automatics! This Deuce has one dealer installed option; Special Sport Mirrors, that were essentially borrowed from the Hurst/Olds’ and AMC Scramblers. This option was fairly common compared to the other dealer installed options, but made it hard to open the wing windows, and were frequently discarded."

J&amp;W own a cran red a/t from Tamson, and a cortez silver a/t from Tamson. The red one is almost finished it's resto, the silver one is a major project. They would like to obtain a 4 speed deuce, but the lone 4speed tamson deuce that is found is not for sale. This 4speed car was red, but was actually painted blue by Tamson for the first owner!

Don, if I recall, that was not the exact pronunciation from Sam Elliot when he first saw the sign https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: May 2006 Feature Car
 

Cool car.. do they ever take it out to any events where they are vendors? I've never seen that one in person.

Marlin, of all the "found" Deuces, how many are still in original unrestored condition? Seems like there are quite a few.

Re: May 2006 Feature Car
 

The FGreen deuce has not seen the light of day in many years, probably not since the mag article in the '80's!

The number of deuces in original / unrestored condition is 42. That number can be misleading though, because original is not equal to unrestored. For eg; I wouldn't consider the Hooper deuce as original, but it is unrestored - so it's one of the 42. We like to think of this category as 42 deuces that look like schoneyes, SS's, or this one, but alas - not all 42 are like these. Also, that number of 42 is approx. bec/ some of them may have had their resto's started - I don't keep too tight a watch on deuce resto progress as I used too.
