Yenko Deuce photos look like they were shot at a race track,, perhaps?
Top photo ,upper right corner looks like staging lanes and bottom photo looks like pits in background,, a funny car with body up? Strange shoe polish markings on Nova's window too. It looks like a good candidate for restoration to me,,, wouldn't mind finding one in that condition.

I had my own "Barn Find" experience just yesterday. Went with a friend to a little old man and ladys home about 30 miles from here and pulled out a 67 Buick Electra 225, 430/400turbo WITH switch pitch and a 66 Caddy Sedan deVille. The Buick was parked in 1990 and the Caddy in 1982. Both nice cars and the Caddy only has 20k on it. We got them both running and drove the Buick home. Sorry, no pics.

Our local chevy dealer is going to have a sale sometime in the near future. He has over 200 new [ yes brand new little or no miles never been tagged] with cars from the sixty and seventy that are going to sell. A 58 camio pickup with 38 miles. A 63 chevy 2dr ht in brand new in the front window. Mid seventys corevette pace car just been driven around the block. You always here about this stuff but here it is 3 blocks away. Tom

Tom, is this the Cameo you're talking about?

Remember a few years back when you sold that dark blue Nova to my buddy? Before we came to get the car from you, we took a bunch of photos through the windows of that dealership.
Here's my Nova when I first laid eyes on it:

And here's a field in North central MO....lots of '58 Chevs, all 348s:

For years, a gold 63 split window coupe sat next to a tree behind a house a few miles from here, and at the end of the driveway sat a blue 70 Corvette convertible with a white top in an open front shed. People tried for 20 years that I know of to buy them. One day the guy sold them both for around $10K.

This is my project SS/LA, it has been completely redone to S/S spects. Getting ready to go into body work phase. There are some pics on my photos here on CR
