Re: 1970 Yenko Deuce
Have been receiving a lot of emails wanting some history on the car. Traded a 1969 Chevelle, 4 speed, Lemans blue with white convertible top on this car. I personally thought Earl was crazy for trading because side by side in my opinion the Chevelle beat this Deuce hands down in looks. (Who's crazy now?) They didn't even let customers take these cars for a test drive. The salesman did the driving.
When we got back to the lot Earl was allowed to move the car across the lot and park it. I've always been of the opinion that you buy a car to drive it, Earl's has always been that you buy a car and see how few miles you can put on it. I may have stated previously that this car has only 15,000 miles on it, I was wrong, it has 18,000. We are the only two people who have driven the car since we bought it.
We almost traded it one time at a dealership in Indiana,PA until they actually saw the car and then they didn't want any part of it. I don't remember why we actually stopped driving it but when we parked it there wasn't anything wrong with it at all mechanically. We got busy building a house (we did all the building ourselves) then started raising a family (we have two sons and raised a third boy)
The car was in the heated basement garage for years until we put up our new garage. We moved it into the new garage with our backhoe!!! We've always had plans to have it restored ourselves but are starting to doubt that we would ever get around to it. Hopeing to get it out of the garage this weekend, get it cleaned up some, and get some new pics.
Will depend on the weather. Linda
