1970 Yenko Deuce

Linda,

There are some people here that are so passionate about cars that sometimes they type before they really think about what they want to say. I've been guilty of this a few times myself.

Overall, the group here is wonderful...and after meeting a lot of these people in person...they're still cool

Like I said before, good luck with whatever you do with your Deuce.

Hi, Was the name of the hill Vinegar Hill? I don't actually remember Jimmy Stewart's dad's store but Earl does. That's what an age difference of 5 years means. And yes it was Delaney Chevrolet who turned us down on the trade. Don't even remember what we were negotiating on now since that dealership has never been a favorite of ours. The only car I can remember buying there was a 1985 Monte Carlo SS. I drove that car the whole time I was in nursing school and then we gave it to our oldest boy for graduation. He still has it, it sits in our garage next to the Deuce when he's not out terrorizing the town with it. Like father, like son, I guess. Our other boy has a Buick Regal GS. It gets parked in our basement garage every winter. Hope they soon build garages of their own. Yes we did do a lot of business at the Auto Parts Store. Earl's idea of a fun date before we were married was pulling his Chevelle into the garage every other Sunday and swapping intakes. I think to this day if I had to change an intake manifold on one of those older Chevys I could probably do it blindfolded. Linda

Sure,

This car is a Fathom Blue, 4speed, with no dealer installed options - so, no custom steering wheel, special sport mirrors, or gauges, etc... This car was produced in the first run of cars, therefore was converted by Yenko SportsCars as opposed to Hurst Performance, and is the 48th car produced - stock number YS-051, sold by Howard Livesly. The VIN is 349981, chevy order #QLL440, sold out of Yenko Chevrolet.

There were 35 Fathom Blue deuces produced, of which 16 (46%) remain today, (12 4speeds, and 4 a/t's). The Fathom Blue and Cranberry Red were popular colors, and sold briskly compared to other colors - especially gobi beige and citrus green, and is a favorite color among collectors today.

The Roof's do have the requisite Mid '80's Monte Carlo SS next to their deuce It is amazing how many deuce owners also own/owned a Monte Carlo SS from the '80's - especially original owners. I don't know the reason, but it's awfully ironic

Any of those Aero coupes?

Hey Linda and Earl... you remember sitting across the desk from this guy?

Sounds like Earl hit the jackpot in his choice of wife as well as car
