Re: "Roof" Deuce for sale ('70 YENKO Nova)
What a great car! Wish I could afford it.

Re: "Roof" Deuce for sale ('70 YENKO Nova)
The shifter hole in the tunnel is spot on perfect! Many cars had them 'enlarged' for different shifters. The holes were originally torched, then the factory snipped 2 sides of the opening to make them a tad larger (I'm not telling which of the 2 sides!)- this car's was factory original....

Re: "Roof" Deuce for sale ('70 YENKO Nova)
I spent alot of time (and beer)on this car and never made it to the mcacn show that year. I never got to appreciate the best of show GM with Sam and my dad. My daughter, who was born that week needs a ride in that car. Sam send it up to Iowa! She is 3, and probably could drive it. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/3gears.gif[/img]

Yes it was. Like Marlin said, while it looked rough in the picture, it cleaned up nice. And with only minor work, started right up after all those years. I remember Steve Sandlin swearing us to secrecy about bringing it to the reunion, but I think he told half the people there that we were on the way with it. I miss that guy. Anyway, there could have been no better care taker for that car than Sam. I/we are very proud to have been part of the history of the car. From the Roofs to Sam, it couldn't have had a better chain of owners. Sam, please screen the prospective buyers well. She needs the best of homes. Schonye |

Re: "Roof" Deuce for sale ('70 YENKO Nova)
Hay Sammy, the speed was 25 MPH [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img] I was Jeff's driver on one of those car shoots and got bitched at for going to fast on the first pass, like 27 MPH [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]
I have offered my services to exercise the Deuce and the orange Yenko while here in AZ, but so far no luck, can't wait to get my black beauty out and blow out the gunk.. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/3gears.gif[/img] Mike |

They do not suck, they live where it is warm and sunny. Those two Yenko guys are smart I am the dope that still lives in this weather. I would like to have all this snow "sucked" away!

<span style="font-size: 14pt">Fellas, I assure you I have not taken letting my Deuce go lightly. It has been an over-the-top experience having this special Nova. It has allowed me to meet and get to know better some terrific folks. Promoting the whole day-two thing has been a hoot. I used to be a stock-look guy (just ask Dave House aka ngtflyer) and I am now completely on board with presenting these cars the way they roamed the streets shortly after delivery to their first owners. I appreciate both now.</span>

Re: "Roof" Deuce for sale ('70 YENKO Nova)
Time flies as it doesn't seem long ago the Roofs showed up here and were almost chased away w/ their original postings. Thankfully they stuck it out as their Deuce couldn't have found a better home than w/ Sam, look again at the results for any clarification necessary! Restoring w/ the original day-2 performance hardware intact put this car into a class of its own also a new level for others to strive for. Best of luck w/ the sale Sam also whoever gets to be this stunning car's new owner! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img] ~ Pete |
Re: "Roof" Deuce for sale ('70 YENKO Nova)
Sam,
First of all like everyone else I agree that's one awesome ride, even if it is a frickin Nova. For those of you that don't know, Sam and I used to share the same office for a couple years. I remember many arguments with you at work about the "stupid high school look" when I said someday I would have a Chevelle like I had back in high school. Slots or Cragers, meats on the back, headers, traction bars, aftermarket air cleaner, valve covers, hurst t-handle, Sun Tach, and ok maybe not the shag carpet on the package tray. Of course he's a squid and couldn't be expected to know better. I am glad to see that you not only have finally came around but you took it to a whole new level. I am surprised the Roof Duece hasn't sold already, it seems very reasonably priced and is an over-the-top awesome car, literaly a piece of art. |
Re: "Roof" Deuce for sale ('70 YENKO Nova)
This is a very special Super Car and certainly one of the very best Deuces known.

Re: "Roof" Deuce for sale ('70 YENKO Nova)
Certainly is Stef.

Re: "Roof" Deuce for sale ('70 YENKO Nova)
Sorry if I missed it but have the Roofs ever been reunited w/ their old car since resto completed? And what about drive it, I expect Earl would enjoy winding 'er up through the gears a few more times! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/3gears.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img] ~ Pete |
Re: "Roof" Deuce for sale ('70 YENKO Nova)
Just be careful - I took my Deuce back to KY and let the 2nd owner take it for a spin, he drove it like he stole it!! I was a little nervous, not just at the speeds we were doing on some little, winding KY roads but also at the engine rev's. The second owner is the one with the [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

I found my original pictures of this car from when Brian and I went to see it. What a fun day! I love seeing the original speed parts reinstalled..... |

Re: "Roof" Deuce for sale ('70 YENKO Nova)
Very nice pictures, I like the TCS switch on the wire gutter - don't see too many with that particular version, many are 'flat top' versions. part number ends in ...573 IIRC.

Re: "Roof" Deuce for sale ('70 YENKO Nova)
Truly my all time favorite story. From start to finish. Awsome!! It was also a pleasure getting to meet all you guys. Sam, if I had it, you would have some Benjamin's in your hand! And not too mention going for a ride with it out in the Sedona area. Beautiful place!
Very sorry I never saw it in person. Good luck with the sale Sam! |

<span style="font-size: 14pt">Ah Scott, you didn't tell me that you had a crystal ball! Seriously, Scott stepped up and the Roof Deuce now has a new owner. I will be delivering it to its new home in California in just a few days. <span style="font-style: italic">Congrats Scott!</span> It's been great dealing with you and I am happy to see it become a part of your exclusive collection of fine rides.

I would also like to thank our very own Stefano for deftly bringing this deal together!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] </span> |
