[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

All I can say is that you have as little facts supporting that the 350th units included the JD cars as I have supporting that it doesn't include them. So, we'll leave it at that.

I personally don't believe very many of Don's production figures, I have seen Don's memo's stating 500 Yenko Deuces - we all know how accurate that statement is! Don was trying to sell cars, and get them qualified for NHRA.

One theory we have found to be true on a few occasions is that when a car arrived at a dealership in the network (Yunkers for eg.) with a 'hurt' engine, they would ship it back to Yenko. Yenko would replace the car with another shipment, or just keep the car. He would replace the engine under warranty, and then sell it locally. However, he would not change the inventory sheets, I don't think there was any need to in his mind, but he would write 'WRECKED' next to that car on the inventory sheet. Interesting! I think I have seen 'REPLACE' on the sheets as well, which might indicate the scenario that you guys are referring to.

Tom, the other part about opinions is that 'they are like a___, everyone has one and they all stink' [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
