https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif Very cool stuff Frank, and as they say "straight from the lion's den." https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif I'm very surprised to see that card noting the Deuces were specially fleet ordered through Yenko, knowing that only Central Chevy was privy enough to get their own '70 LT-1 Novas built by GM. Can I get a closer look at it? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Re: Fencl-Tufo's Draggin Deuce
 

Good work Frank! cool info
just a thought on the QLL533 ID#
Hurst farmed out some of the work that was farmed out to them to Demmer Engineering of Lansing, MI
maybe the L in QLL5 is for Lansing? just a guess
Maybe a Hurst Olds guy can supply some info as the Hurst Olds were built there.
Did you find any shipping records?

Re: Fencl-Tufo's Draggin Deuce
 

Many congrats to Frank!! I have been dealing with this guy for almost 2 years, trying to get him linked up with the other deuce owners so they can get their paperwork. However, he would not consider selling me the DD paperwork, which didn't surprise me - I'm a guy on the phone from PA! Frankie was a local guy, and when we were talking about the paperwork I told him he's got the orig. invoice for the DD - convince him to sell it to ya! Good work by you Frankie.

The additional paperwork is just as interesting, if not more so since we've never been able to see the dealership side of the paperwork package. The 'fleet' card is the most interesting, I'd love a copy or pic of that one Frankie https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

The QLL stock number is actually the Chevy Order Number, and is also on the inventory sheet. There are several cars that had their stock numbers confused with the chevy order number, we don't know why. In fact, some of the original Yenko window stickers have the QLL # typed as the stock number. The cars with this phenom are all Hurst cars, which is one of the many reasons why we believe that they were prepped and drop shipped from Hurst in Detroit. Donna Mae probably typed up the first 125 cars with minimal typos, whereas the second order of 50 cars' window stickers are loaded with typo's - even to the point of typing '4 speed' on a car that has an a/t! Neither of the 'L's in the QLL Chevy Order Number/stock number implies Lansing, as the first 125 cars also have QLL Chevy Order Numbers.

Again, well done Frankie!

Re: Fencl-Tufo's Draggin Deuce
 

BTW: Both Dan and John's cars are in the first order of 125, so their stock numbers were 'Canonsburg' asigned https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Frank
Was all this the result from the guy that approached you at Lombard this summer,when you brought your Deuce over?
I know him from D&R Camaro.

Re: Fencl-Tufo's Draggin Deuce
 

The more I think about this, the cooler it is! You have really preserved some excellent deuce history here Frankie. We were afraid this guy would go underground again, and we wouldn't hear from him. His health is not very good, and you never know what could happen, and the paperwork would never be bought.

Very cool https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif
