Yes they were in the Yenko network. I believe they actually sold a few Yenko cars too.

Marlin stated this a few years ago on here.
Tamson sold 6 1970 deuces, 4 survive, 2 are gone.
J&W Nova Parts in Danville, VA have 3 of the Tamson cars, all a/t's, one of which is Forest Green, original paint and stripes and is kept in their showroom. The 4th is also in Danville, and is owned by the owner of a car lot. This 4th deuce has an interesting story to it. The car was originally red, however the first owner wanted a blue one - so the dealership apparently repainted it blue, without the Yenko stripes re-installed! Not something you hear about every day!


Then this from Kevin Hand:
The 4th deuce is owned by a close friend and painted its original color after a 4 yr frame off resto. It is back to it original color , red. Documented and still in the city it was sold in. Bought yrs. ago from original owners son for pennies on the dollar.

According to my files, Tamson was one of only 2 Yenko network dealers in the entire state of Virginia. Colonial Chevrolet was the other.

Because Colonial had an exclusive agreement w/ Yenko and SPAN Inc. to be the sole distributor of Yenko Deuces within the Virgina Beach area.

Bingo!! I knew you two were - but those old jokers in the back of the room were busy drawing all over some poor sap's new book https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

What was the next closest dealer to that range in the sales agreement?
