Hey Taz;

My Deuce may be the one sold new in Rantoul, IL. If I can follow the breadcrumbs, the Forest Green Deuce may originally have been at W.R. Austin Chevrolet in Norwalk. But, then if may have been transferred to Rantoul where Mark MC Donald purchased it new




.

I would love to find out if this scenario is accurate and if any original documents still exist pertaining to the car.

A couple of current pics are attached. Please excuse the poor quality of the pics--photographer's fault entirely!

Rick

Rick -- I am pretty sure Mark bought that car at Ernie Rogers Chevrolet ... alot of those Deuces were shipped around. If you look at the registry, it shows up there. My Silver Deuce was sold at Broadway Chev in Green Bay ... I was the second owner. TAZ

Hey Taz;

Maybe a dumb questions; but, do you still have your Silver Deuce? If so, could I please see some pics of the engine bay, trunk, door panels and instrument panel? Maybe via PM, if you think appropriate.

I'm still &quot;sorting&quot; mine out to determine what's original, NOS or repro!

Happy 4th.

Happy 4th. Members!

Does anyone have a breakdown on the &quot;known to exist&quot; deuces as to each color? I have some nominal understanding that approximately 20 Forest Green Yenkos still exist but I sure don't know where that number came from and if it can be factually documented.

THX,

Rick

The red copo chevelle on page 38 was indeed originally corvette gold. It does have the original motor and rear. The trans is a M22 but not the original vin. The color on the car is cranberry red because despite the fact that it was a paint delete I just couldn't bring myself to replace the gold and I didn't like the garnet red either. I probably wouldn't change the color if I was doing it today but they were a lot cheaper and easier to come by in those days. This same car is going through Mecum's Chicago auction soon.

The green Duece on this last page did come through Rantoul. When I bought it was all apart from a man that had gone blind. I think his name was Mark McDonald but I didn't think he was the second owner. Might have been though. I sold the car to Joe Grom(sp?)

Yep -- knew Mark well ... was a good friend. He had diabetes and did in fact go blind from it. At some point he blew the engine and Dave Kohler (Kohler Fuel Injection – Urbana, Il.) built a 377 for the Deuce – not sure if any original block parts were used. I’m not certain, but I think Mark was the second owner – could be off on this though. During this time period there were three Deuces in Rantoul – Marks, a red one that belong to a female, and my Cortez Silver (brought it down from Wisconsin) and it is in Washington State last I heard.

Here are some more pictures of this 69 COPO Camaro N665210. I first saw it at the Super Chevy Show in Indy in 2008 where it was in the Gold Class. It was also the Good Guys Muscle Car of the year. According to the reproduction window sticker it was sold new at Queen City in Cincinnati OH. It was advertised as a documented car, but I saw no documentation on display with it. I'm sorry the photo of the trim tag isn't clearer. It was bid to $150K but didn't sell.
