I know Bound Brook very well,there was a 70's Baldwin Motion Camaro I remember seeing in 1975.It actually was from South Bound Brook.I know a retired cop from that area that helped me track down the owner of the Blue 454 Motion Camaro. Remember Tony Festa Marlin? Dan

MikeA, I don't think I have the vin # for the deuce that this tach is off of, so I have not searched for it. It might be ScottS' car now that we know it spent time in NJ!

Bob did you buy the Deuce brand new?

No,I seen the car before I went overseas in the service at Wallace Chevrolet along with the red automatic Duece.One car was already sold (The silver)& was sitting in the back of the shop. 15 Months latter when I got discharged.A add in the paper listed a 1970 Nova LT-1 4 speed.that turned out to be the blue duece .The owner of the car was from Union,NJ & just enlisted in the service. I took over the payment book of $2200.I always use to see the red Duece at Raceway Park,Englishtown,NJ.About 9 years ago I seen the silver one at the body shop in Linden with the nose pushed in,motor seized & desperate need of paint when I droped a friend off to pick up his car.

hi bob, it was just like this.. Mike's car.. cool..

**YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY** · #19 07-05-2006, 05:04 PM

Surely wasn't ScottS' car! That's pretty cool that you saw ole Willy out there racing at Englishtown, he ran pretty good times with the stock manifolds and tires - 13.80's at over 100 mph.

I took the picture of the silver deuce on the morning that Stan pulled it out from the back part of the lot

I don't the engine was locked up, but... it hasn't been torn down yet either, it only has 25k miles on it.
