Need Yenko Deuce Help!
 

I'm a Newbie to the site. I'm also the owner of a Forest Green 1970 Yenko Deuce. It's VIN: 114270W349789. I recently acquired the car from my good friend, Andy Distad. I just don't know much about the car or its restoration. I did note that in March 1975, Mark F. Mc Donald (IL)was the owner of the car, then it was purchased by Bill Ulseth (TN) on an unknown date, then Mick Price (IL) on an unknown date, then Joe Grom (KY)in March 2002. Before 1975 and after 2002, at least until Andy bought the car, are big blanks!

On March 16, 2015, there is a note from Marlin R Spotts Jr. commending an individual on his description of the car in an eBay listing. It states, "The originality of the engine and trans along with the rear end gears matches the information in my Yenko Deuce Registry".

If one (or more) of the members has any information about my car, or knows anything about its restoration, could I please hear from you?!

ANY help, input or direction to follow in acquiring more information would be greatly appreciated.

Rick -- I know the car well. I had a Cortez Silver Yenko Deuce at the same time. Mark was a good friend of mine in Rantoul, Il who passed way too soon. His Mom and Dad had the car -- how long I do not know ... I tried a number of years ago to chase down the green Deuce. I do know that it had damage to the drivers door and Mark "blew up" the engine at one time. As far as I can remember, the engine was rebuilt by Dave Kohler (Kohler Fuel Injection) in Urbana, Il. This was around late 70s early 80s. I think the engine at that time was a 377ci. If the original block was used -- the numbers will match up.

I don't know what other info I may be able to provide but if you have any other Qs -- by all means, contact me. Craig [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/flag.gif[/img]
