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. This Nova Yenko Deuce is
one of only 175 produced in 1970. The hood mounted tachometer is
unique to the Yenko Nova. Painted in Cranberry Red with white Yenko
graphics, this Nova Yenko Deuce's small block features a
solid-lifter camshaft, aluminum intake manifold, special
finned-aluminum valve covers, a simple bench seat, black on black
leather and subtle Yenko trim details. One of 122 produced in 1970
with a 4-speed manual transmission, which uses a Muncie shifter and
the 12-bolt Posi-traction differential. 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.'
