Default Re: April Feature car

Eric,
There is only one car that we know was sitting at the dealer with the original XT's and dogcaps, the beige one. However, the original owner insisted that Yenko change the wheels to the Magnums like the advertisement shows. So, Yenko grumbled, but did indeed change the wheels. Yenko did not install the Y's on the centercaps though, they just threw a bunch of the decals on the front seat - to this day I don't think they are installed. There are other deuces without the Y's too, but no deuces found without the Magnums.

BTW, according to owner history, one of the demo deuces (also beige) received a Magnum wheel for a spare - it's also the highest optioned deuce found, so that makes sense that it was 'loaded'. All other deuces retained their XT spares, but one fathom blue deuce actually received a forest green spare - original owner car, spare never hit the ground!
