Re: Yenko Deuce
 

Are you sure those springs are original?? Look like replacements to me just by the leaf clamps. Those don't look like OEM style leaf spring clamps. I still have my original springs on my survivor 70 Nova and they don't look anything like those. Maybe the clamps only were replaced??

Yes we are 100% sure, the car has been thoroughly inspected by Ken S of Deuce Heaven, Stefano B of Nickey's, Doug, and Ken M. unless they were replaced by the dealer on the lot, we are very certain they are original, we will double triple quadruple check when we take the rear end apart and wash and clean everything [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img] stay tuned.

Going back to pg 6 and the trim rivets on the sides of the cowl,my Cranberry red deuce also has them and its VIN is very close-353534.

I have seen that same treatment with the rivets on a few 68-72 novas and a few 69 Camaros.. almost like they were doing a practice run before they did what they needed to

Heaven forbid -- that makes sense. Those rivet guns where probably a pain at times -- better to get it set before trying to set rivets around the windshield opening. TAZ

That is what we were thinking, either gun jammed or maybe just clearing out something or just plain having fun firing away [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Interesting, it's the first time I've seen that....

Re: Yenko Deuce
 

Great story! That engine assembly stamp is quite interesting! Normally when you see really odd assembly stamps it's a result of an engine that failed at some point on the line and was sent back to &quot;heavy repair&quot;. This would usually result in a grind out of the original stamp and then restamped, which is obviously not the case here. Out of curiosity, how do the head/block cast dates line up?

Keep the pictures coming!

Re: Yenko Deuce
 

I will post several pictures of all dates and marking of the motor Monday or Tuesday [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]
