Appreciate all the input, good and bad. To Mockingbird, nice to hear from someone who was local at one time. Do you ever remember seeing the Deuce lightin up the tires around Indiana back in the good ole days? We were backed in next to the Dairy Queen one night and all the local muscle cars were driving by and gawking. Earl started the Deuce and cracked the pipes and the owner came out screaming at us that she was calling the cops. Kept ranting something about us being "public enemy number one." A guy from Penn Run had a Yenko Chevelle at the time but don't know what ever happened to it. There was also a guy that lived up the road from us that went down to the dealership and bought a yellow Deuce after he saw ours.
We heard rumor that his mom and dad sold the car when he went to the service. We originally bought the car to run at New Bee (closed down now) but we couldn't get the car factored and Earl didn't want to run it e.t.s We never did get to actually run it at the strip. Did a little ---- raising around Indiana, Kittanning, and a few other places though. Linda

Hey Linda (aka public enemy...) Boy, you really painted a vivid picture that is blazed upon my little brain. Never had the pleasure of coming across your ride, but it sounds like you established a rep w/ at least some of the Indianans. My Mom and grandparents lived at 917 Church St. and post highschool I was on N. 6th St. (beyond the hi falutin' homes). My Papa, in his younger years, lived up on a hill above downtown Indiana (name escapes me
) around 7th or 8th St. and lived right next door to Jimmy Stewart. Do you remember Jimmy's Dad's store on Philadelphia St.? Worked at Mussers nursery on Christmas break for College money. Did you ever get parts at any of the Auto Parts Inc. stores?
Thanks for sharing your memories and GOOD LUCK with whatever you decide to do.
