Re: 1970 deuce
There were two separate batches built. the first 125 were in equal numbers of cranberry red, fathom blue, forrest green, cortez silver, and gobi beige. They went to Yenko for stripes, and finish. those corrolate with the first date Joe mentioned, The second batch were sent to Hurst for finishing. I doubt that many of those ever saw Cannonsburg. Those are the ones that go with the 2nd build date Joe and Mike stated. That order had the 10 huggar orange, sunflower yellow, and citrus green cars. Referred to as "spring time color offerings". Also 10 more CR, and 10 FB to round out the 50.
Deuce motors are stamped CTB, or CTC, which denotes 70 Z28 4spd, or auto. The deuce add calls the motors Corvette type with 800cfm carbs. Neither of which are correct. I did believe that when I bought mine that it had a Corvette motor. It wasn't until later, after meeting Marlin, that I learned it was a Z code. Don still wanted you to believe that he was doing the transplants. And the info he printed wasn't always the exact truth.
