[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Very nice recollections Don! It is quite difficult to keep the tires under these Deuces!

I'm not surprised that your car did not have p/s as only 2 of the 17 four speed Gobi Deuces had the p/s option. Here's how your car fits into the puzzle; there were 175 Deuces produced in '70 in two distinct production runs - but in 3 consecutive weeks of 05D, 06A, and 06B (4th week of May and first 2 weeks of June). The first order of 125 cars contained 5 colors, 25 each of Silver, Beige, Green, Blue and Red - each color consisting of 15 four speeds, 2 four speeds w/ p/s, 4 autos, and 4 autos w/ p/s. The second order of 50 cars did not contain any Beige cars.

All 175 cars were monitored by Donna Mae Mims at Yenko via 'New Car Inventory' sheets, and there are 10 of these sheets - but we have only found 6 of them (which is why we don't have all of the vins on the site). So, your car is one of 175 produced, one of 25 in Gobi Beige (which is a cool color no matter what people say [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img] ), and one of 15 in Beige w/out p/s. Your car was built in the 4th week of May, and is most likely on Inventory Sheet 2 - which we don't have, [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img] Of the 15 Beige Deuces like yours, 2 of them are on sheet 1 which we do have and those 2 cars were sold from Colonial in Norfolk, VA and Nankivell in Indy, IN. Thus, 13 of them are on sheet 2 - presumably including your car, unless Scuncio got it from Colonial - which is quite possible since Colonial had a surplus of Deuces!

Do you remember what month you bought it?

How did you find out about them?

How much did you pay for it (did they discount it at all)?

Why did you pick the Gobi Beige over the Forest Green? The Forest Green was a very desirable color, and is the highest percentage color found as of today. I find your choice interesting, as my original owner made the same choice when he walked into Nankivell

Do you remember who you sold it to - ie; a military person, street racer, drag racer?
