July '05 Feature Car

[hvychev]

Alan......no challenge coming from over here....two old dogs like Schoney and yourself deserve respect!

Besides the obvious fact that blue is beautiful, what made you choose YOUR Deuce? Was it between that and another color? What did your friends/family think of the car when it was new? Were they disapointed that you did not get a big block?

Frank,
I chose the blue without any hesitation because it is my favorite color. The combination of the Fathom blue and the white stripes was enough to start me salivating and when I took it for a test drive, I knew that I had to have that car. The few big block cars that Colonial had in stock again created an insurance problem for me so I had to just settle for the Deuce I haven't been disappointed since except for the period of time before the resto when the engine was continually fouling plugs on 3 cylinders. We took care of that first thing by having the engine blueprinted, line bored and balanced. Now it runs like a jet when I punch the accelerator and at idle it sounds almost like a mean Harley Davidson but you could set a glass of water on the air cleaner and it hardly vibrates. I just am having such a good time with my car since the resto that it's like the car is new again, only better.
I did enjoy reading the articles in the muscle car magazines about SCR7 and it looks like you guys just had a great time either racing(which would now give me the heebie jeebies with the Deuce) or at the show.
Kudos to y'all,
Alan

You only live once Alan - take that beauty down the track with us, you won't regret it You don't have to hammer it, but, when you got a Schoneye, a Frankie, or a Jerry next to ya - how can you not eh?

Marlin,
I can give it the old college try if all four of you guys like to get a good laugh. I would be so afraid of breking something that I would probably be turning a 25 second quarter mile while you guys had made the run and come back to have a cold one while I am still making the run.
How embarassing
It will still be fun to make a run if you guys can get us in the Super Chevy magazine again. That was too cool!
By the way, what kind if times were clocked at the SCR7?

Can't guarantee Super Chevy, but "My Classic Car" will be there...

That's just as good as long as they are respectful of all of us "old farts" with these "super cars"

I dont think anyone could not be respectful of the July Feature car. It is a beauty !!!

As far as 'Ole Farts' go I learned to respect all of them once I joined the club.

NICE CAR !!

Just spoke with Bob McClurg, a freelance photographer who covered SCR7 for Super Chevy and a couple of other magazines. He has assured me he is coming to shoot "a bunch of cars".

Also, the editor of another poplular muslcecar mag is scheduled to be there as well.

It sounds like these magazine guys are really taking notice of the Yenko brand name cars, now. I can remember several years ago when I would tell someone that I owned a Yenko Deuce and they thought it was a Japanese import brand of some kind. I guess they didn't even know that the Yenko name is a middle Eurpoean surname(I think that is correct)
Well, it looks like SCR8 should also be a big media event as well as the greatest gathering of supercars on the planet.
