Default Re: Yenko Deuce...Cranberry Red #75

The reference to "#75" is a bit vague, because each yenko deuce actually had two stock numbers. Both of cars listed as stock number '75' are indeed red, but neither is from Wallace, however, Cran Red is actually paint code '75'. See how quickly a statement like this can become confusing

(The stock numbers are unique in that one was preasigned when the cars were ordered by Yenko, the second one was the real one and was asigned when the car was either sold locally or dealer transferred).

The Deuce with preasigned stock number '75' is a cran red car sold out of Loehmann Chev in Waterbury, CT, was restored by Neal Robbins in NY, and is Frankies old car.

The Deuce with postasigned stock number '75' is a cran red car sold out of Dale Chev. in Waukesha, WI and is owned by Glenn Benzel in WI.

There are at least two cran red Deuces sold out of Wallace, one is a 4speed owned by Bill Auckerland in MI, the other is an a/t owned by Tommy K in NJ. Neither of these cars have any reference to the number '75' other than their paint codes.
