Beautiful Detailed Condition A Little History Don Yenko was an
American race car driver most known for creating the Yenko Camaro,
a high-performance version of the Chevrolet Camaro. In 1957, Yenko
set up a performance shop in Canonsburg, PA for Chevrolet vehicles,
where customers could either order high performance parts or have
their car modified by Yenko's mechanics. As the popularity of
muscle cars in the 1970's declined due to higher insurance premiums
and tighter emission rules, Yenko shrewdly countered with
modifications to the 1970 Nova. Instead of putting a big block 427
cu. in. in his special Nova, Yenko convinced GM to put in the
powerful small block 350 cu.in. shared by the new Z-28 Camaro and
LT1 Corvette. Don Yenko nicknamed this car "Deuce" after the 1963
Beach Boys' hit "Little Deuce Coupe," which in turn referred to
Ford's 1932 Model 18, considered by auto enthusiasts to be 'the
definitive hot-rod.' Dome Lamp, Tinted Glass, Armrests - Dual
