Not to be that Guy but this is the Super Car Registry; I last looked at this Deuce when it was for sale back in 2012, in Portage Wisconsin.

It had quite a reputation as a street racer. It was owned by the brother (John Gruber of 208 E Edgewater, Portage, WI) of the second owner, from what I was told. Brother had passed. Owner had one of those Hillbilly nick names, like "Skeeter." Not sure, and no disrespect to my fellow Hillbilly friends. John owned the local garage in town. Seller representing the car was a Brad Brock.

Interesting note is that Carl Wegner / Wegner Motor Sports out of Markasan Wisconsin drove in this Deuce and shared some it's street racing prowess.

Good solid bones, with minimal rust for a Midwest Car. The car had been hit in the front and repaired. The car was tatered but mostly complete.

I certainly would not use the term "Survivor" to describle the car. I went cash in hand and did not purchase the car explicitly because it did not have it's original engine as had been advertised. I do not remember about the transmission but do recall the 12 bolt axle as correct, with a gear change, per the owner.

The car was not cheap, in fact asking price was strong, but for an original numbers matching, 4 speed, Citrus Deuce.............I was willing to bite.

Original trim tag and VIN, no paper work at the time, but veifiable local history.

It did not have Sport Mirrors or the optional "Yenko" Steering wheel.

Very Kool Deuce!

Info was shared with the Yenko Deuce Registry.
