Re: Yenko Deuce Pics
I need to figure out how to post some pictures. The car has been in a few magazines so I will look them up tonight and provide the issue dates. The best memory I have with this car is when I was able to reunite it with the 8th owner. During the history search I talked with all but two of the previous owners. I did keep in touch with a few of them over the years. The 8th owner had relatives that lived within an hour of me. He called one evening and said he was coming to Michigan and asked if he might be able to see his old car. I of course jumped at the chance to make that happen. I had the car waiting for him in the driveway so he could see it coming down the street. It was very gratifying to see the bond that once existed for a gentleman and what was once his car. You could see it on his face, the flood of memories from a time long since past. He took the car for a short drive and then I showed him the photo alblum of when I first purchased the car and the restoration process. We took pictures of the occasion and he left after and all too short of a visit. If memory serves, I believe we each had a tear in our eyes. I haven't heard from him in a while now but if he or any of the other previous owners and I should meet, I'm sure the effect would be the same.
