Re: Yenko Optional Twin Sport Mirrors
 

I had gone through the option breakdowns a few years ago, but did it again recently when 4 cars in the last 14 found had sport mirrors - that's almost 33%. So, I redid the calcs and was surprised at how the sport mirror option was catching up to the steering wheel option.

The option that I rarely do calcs on is the optional shifter. To date, I believe only 3 cars out of the 85 have that option, but I should start including that option since it's half as much as the instrument group count.

Trivia; How many deuces came with these types of dealer add-on's - in the trunk?

Marlin Just for informantion purposes, The original paperwork I have on the Draggin Deuce lists the car as having the instrument package at a cost of $45.00.

What car? Are you sure there was only one to come with optional equipment uninstalled, or is only one known car with documentation to prove it?

Re: Yenko Optional Twin Sport Mirrors
 

Nah, just the only story that we know of. The original owner recalls that an a/t Cortez Silver Deuce was delivered to Johnny Londoff Chevrolet in Florissant, MO with the shifter in the trunk.

Not to read into it too much, but, it lends creedance to the Hurst converted cars theory. We know that Yenko had capacity constraints with the first 125 Deuce conversions, so hearing about a car with the labor intensed shifter dropped in the trunk is understandable. The key is the color of the car, ie; C.Silver, because silver is in the first order of cars. If it had been a color unique to the second order (Orange,S.Yellow or C.Green), or a red or blue car from the second order, the 'shifter in the trunk' situation would have been less believable.

BTW, the car was totalled, endo'd forward after one of the front wheels went into a ditch.
