Hi Don,

Welcome to the site and thanks for inquiring about your Deuce - especially for posting pics! I suspect that your car might actually be Gobi Beige, which is typically considered 'yellow'. The Sunflower Yellow color was quite bright, so if your Deuce was indeed a super bright yellow then perhaps the pics are deceiving me (or I'm getting old!).

I'm on my iPhone at the moment, but will check my records to see if any Sun Yellow or Gobi Beige Deuces came out of Scuncio, it was not that uncommon for Deuces to be dealer transferred if a customer desired a certain color or option group.

With only 10 SY Deuces produced, it would be pretty rare - even within the 175 Deuces produced. I don't recall Scuncio selling any SY Deuces, but am pretty sure they sold a Gobi car or two - there were 25 of them produced. There was a particular Gobi Deuce that was from either Scuncio or Austin (CT) that ended up in Johnson City, TN, I'll have to check my notes.

BTW, that Forest Green Deuce was an A/T w/ p/s car that was still owned by the original owner up till several years ago when I heard he passed away, great guy named Felix! That car, the blue one, a silver one, and the engine from a red one al exist today.
