This car is NOT the same one that was behind the antique store on Ogden. The car is the H/O 4 speed car that has been found and is being restored.
Geno's car is VERY cool and has a great history. I was able to find the original owner of the car, Dave F. He told me that he worked at the body shop of Fencl Tufo and actually bought this car there from Mr. Ed. I asked him about the stripes and he said that they were for sure black and that he has pics of the car at his mothers house. (suprisingly cause the guy is 61 years old!)
I am SUPER excited to see the copy of the bill from Fencl Tufo showing the engine rebilud parts! I never knew that was done. What is the date on the bill? If I remember correctly doesn't this car have it's original build sheet and some other paper? Shonye also had a cool story about how he found a business card from a local Chicago band tucked under the dash board of the car. I can never hear enough stories about these cars! Tell more!
One other interesting tidbit of info is that Fencl Tufo sold 6 Yenko Deuce Novas and we have either spoken to or know of 5 of the original owners. The 6th is that damn Citrus Green Draggin Deuce! I WILL find that car before it is all said and done!
