Hi Marlin, Sorry it took so long to get back to your question. I've been working a lot of 12 hour midnight shifts and I also wanted to verify what I remember with what Earl remembers. If you go the "poke here" site that Sam posted and face the dealership I'll give you a run through.
First count the single car out front as row 1. We don't remember much about that row. Sitting somewhere in row 2 Earl remembers a used Yenko Camaro, he thinks either blue or green. First in row 3 was a silver deuce, then our FB deuce, then we think a yellow one and next to it a FG deuce. We don't remember any of the other colors being there at the time. I remember the FG deuce because it too caught our eye but when we checked it out a little closer we found it was an automatice and we both wanted a four speed.
When we came back from our test ride, the salesman pulled the car in front of the showroom and Earl was allowed to drive the car back and park it in its spot. You'll remember on the original post about the car that we weren't allowed to actually take the car for a test drive. Was that standard procedure or did it have something to do with Earl's long hair and "bad boy" look at the time? When we went back to the dealership to pick up the car I remember leaving the lot sideways and an awful lot of rubber being left on the road. That was Earl's version of the longed for test drive!! What wonderful memories!!! We think that's pretty accurate. Linda and Earl

Aw Linda, now you painted some nice visual imagery . You and Earl were definitely in a Yenko-rich-environment. Your exit strategy from the dealership was inspired.

Yours has had a much better life than that poor yellow deuce. Them dealers wasn't any to keen on lettin us hippies drive those deuces. Me neither. And we also left sideways as you turned right from Rapid's and went up the 1st ave hill. Didn't take much did it?

Schoneye is right, the yellow deuce is still alive - barely The silver one is toast, I believe it was rolled over - it's still titled as owned by 'Yenko Leasing'. Not sure on the FG one - but not surprised since we don't have very many inventory sheets for the a/t cars.

Nice to know the lay of the land back in the day - thanks Linda!
