Re: "Roof" Deuce for sale ('70 YENKO Nova)
 

.... I want to thank you for going thru the trouble to bring these great cars out to this event and share

them with the public. This event will bring out cars and car guys like you will never see no matter how

long you search for cars.

Each of us have our own taste in cars and this brings us all together.

Great new look to the Nova [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Absolutely DO NOT dig the Thrush pipes! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/thumbsdown.gif[/img] </div></div>
That's because they are too short for the car. They should go all the way back to the end of the rocker. Hurst wheels belong on Pontiacs only in my opinion. Honestly should have left that baby alone.

Re: "Roof" Deuce for sale ('70 YENKO Nova)
 

I love the Hurst wheels! I don't know if this is a Hurst car or not? The orange deuce I had that Mark Hasset now owns was a Hurst converted car. I always wanted to put those on that car, but a real vintage set was very very pricey. The repops weren't out at the time I owned it. Marks car looks awesome with them on it. I know at that time a mint set was 10-12k!

Re: "Roof" Deuce for sale ('70 YENKO Nova)
 

<span style="font-size: 14pt">This is not a &quot;Hurst&quot; converted Deuce. I think the Hurst cars were all the &quot;Spring&quot; colors (DY, HO, CG).

My old Deuce looks KILLER Scott! Nicely put together - a real head turner.

Sam, pretty sure there were 50 or so that went to Hurst. In fact, a Fathom Blue one I owned was.371006. I have the shipping manifest that says &quot; Yenko rig-from Hurst Ferndale MI.

Re: "Roof" Deuce for sale ('70 YENKO Nova)
 

Mark Hassets cars are all ways so nice and cool.

Re: "Roof" Deuce for sale ('70 YENKO Nova)
 

Not being critical - I just have a serious question:

Weren't Hurst wheels &quot;done&quot; long before 1970? I guess I always thought of them as a short-lived design that was only available and popular from about 1965-1968. I figured they were no longer &quot;cool&quot; by the time a '70 Deuce would have left the showroom. Am I wrong?

Re: "Roof" Deuce for sale ('70 YENKO Nova)
 

Like the sidepipes, never been a fan of the Hurst Mags, but I appreciate that you're doing your own thing, and isn't that what Hot Rods and Street Machines were all about?

Rock on, cheers.

Re: "Roof" Deuce for sale ('70 YENKO Nova)
 

Looking good.

Re: "Roof" Deuce for sale ('70 YENKO Nova)
 

Thank you everyone for your comments, I was and am prepared that some will like and some will not like what we did. All original parts are secured and stored, all (Sam) Day 2 parts are secured and stored, and all items can be returned to stock. I built this car the way I would have built it if I walked into the dealer in 1970 and purchased it and then had dealer adds put on the car. Think of it this way, if in 1970 I am a huge Chevy fan, but don’t like the new Camaro body style, don’t like the Corvette, but I really like the Nova, and am a Yenko fan, so I have the dealer add items that I want to make the car more to my liking. As for the Hurst wheels, I know that Hurst finished the last 50 for Yenko, my CG Deuce is one of the 50, and I know that at least 1 of those 50 had Hurst wheels. We have an original set of Hurst wheels for the car, they were very pricy and we have a re-pop set … also pricy. I am posting 1 last picture of the Nova (engine) and 1 last picture of the Cougar for now, you can see them at the show, and after the show I will post detailed pictures and info. Wishing everyone a great day and see you at the show.

I am looking forward to meeting you all and hopefully out of the 5 cars we are brining, everyone will be able to find at least 1 that they like in our area : ) https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...5-img_3142.jpg

Re: "Roof" Deuce for sale ('70 YENKO Nova)
 

I think it looks great, and cannot wait to view them all at the show.

Re: "Roof" Deuce for sale ('70 YENKO Nova)
 

The last 50 Deuces were converted by Hurst for Yenko, 10 each of SY, HO, CG, FB and CR.

I like it, I really did do a day 2 out of a day 2 [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Re: "Roof" Deuce for sale ('70 YENKO Nova)
 

Hurst wheels were never on a nova. Even the hurst giveaway car had cragars on it. Hurst wheels were not even manufactured after 68 for those in the know. So they never could have been on a 70.

I believe this is from the 1st run of 125. And yes, Dave's was near the end as was Cronkleton's blue deuce. FWIW this isn't the 1st deuce with side pipes. There's a SF yellow one still with the original owner that really did put them on day 2 back in the day. Still on the last I knew. I think his car was on the transport with mine. Not sure Cronkleton's might have been too. The side pipes were, I believe, a reflection of the Motion mods that were getting lots of magazine articles at the time. The Hurst tie in has some times been over blown. It was mainly the stripes, and conversion to the floor for the automatics. Hurst converted autos usually had back up lights that actually worked. I don't know of any that ever got the rims.

Thought about putting dual quads/tunnel ram on mine when I was way much younger. Probably a good thing I didn't. :-)

Re: "Roof" Deuce for sale ('70 YENKO Nova)
 

Yes, the Roof Deuce was definitely in the first order of 125 cars, and was not converted by Hurst. We are not aware of any Deuces that came new with Hurst wheels, but they don't look half bad.... Schoneye is correct about the side pipes, there is a SY Deuce in Nebraska that still has 'em - looks cool too!

Hey, if that is the way you choose to enjoy the car while you are the caretaker - have at it, manifolds with sidepipes, Hurst mags, roll control, dual quads... ! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: "Roof" Deuce for sale ('70 YENKO Nova)
 

Very good eye, you caught the change back to the manifolds, (they were professionally ported flow tested, good for 16 HP) and the Vintage Hurst Line Lock, there are also some significant changes in the cockpit………. You didn’t catch the Power Steering add ……. All numbers correct and NOS. : )

Really enjoy this forum, the best out there, see you all soon .......... Sam hope you are going to be there : )

Right Fred, you are learning!
Why add a set of dual quads and take the headers off.
As &quot;perfect&quot; as that car was and as &quot;perfect&quot; all the original Day-2 parts were I think I would have chose a lesser version Yenko Deuce to do my custom 2014 additions to. 16 hp on the flowed exhaust manifolds? Whats that going to do for you. Going to see some track time?

Re: "Roof" Deuce for sale ('70 YENKO Nova)
 

What does the word customizing mean?? Its all about doing your own thing. Scott is having a great time playing with one of his new toys. I think he put some fun touches on the car. And if he gets tired of it we can always put it back to stock, or what ever he decides to do with it. The damn car is not a Rembrandt that you cant touch. Scott and I have been there, done that.. Way too boring!

Ken Maisano

Re: "Roof" Deuce for sale ('70 YENKO Nova)
 

Correct Ken but Scott did put this out there for reactions so he is getting opinions which I am sure all this attention is what he wants! You can put red blinking lites in the wheelwells if you want. All a matter of taste.

BEAUTIFUL!!

Re: "Roof" Deuce for sale ('70 YENKO Nova)
 

If you are the caretaker of the car, you can do whatever you want to the car. As perfect as that car was, the changes the caretaker makes is for the enjoyment of the caretaker. I like the car either way.

Re: "Roof" Deuce for sale ('70 YENKO Nova)
 

The car looks great!

Its all good, not looking for attention, just loving the hobby and having fun sharing. All opinions are welcome and supported, its what its all about. As for taking Headers off, they just make to much heat and noise for me, this car is a &quot;drive once in a while car&quot; and I want to keep it as clean and nice as possible, and headers just bake it a bit to much for me. As for track, no way, I had the stock exhaust ported to give it a bit better flow with the dual 4v, if I want to go fast I will take the PRO Street GN out for a drive....however I am getting to the age where I don't really like going fast anymore. This is my version of an &quot;Executive Day 2&quot;. Thank you for the input and comments, it keeps things fun and gives us all something to chat about, I am never offended by different opinions, as long as we respect each other and keep in fun. Also, remember, everything is in storage and this car can be returned to completely stock at any time : )

Re: "Roof" Deuce for sale ('70 YENKO Nova)

Sammy, why the negative comments. Obviously the car was not &quot;perfect&quot; to him and he chose to customize it per his taste, not anyone elses. He owns the car and obviously has his own vision of what look he wants and configuration.

Scott,you have a fantastic collection of cars and look forward to seeing you and your cars at MCACN.

Re: "Roof" Deuce for sale ('70 YENKO Nova)
 

Sammy's not one to usually share a different opinion or two [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img] Next thing you know he'll turn Scott on to Tasty Kakes?

I got some spy photos of the Deuce getting loaded up for Chicago............Hold on to your hats, it's Wild!

Re: "Roof" Deuce for sale ('70 YENKO Nova)
 

RST
It is your car &amp; you are free to do anything to it you wish,but because you asked us for opinions,I have to agree with SC69Sam and others &amp; wouldn't have done what you did.
Yes you kept all the parts and it can be put back as it was when you bought it,but there are other cars you could've chosen better to do this on,not the Roof Deuce.
The Roof Deuce was a special restored Day 2 car that was unique in it's own right &amp; with widely known personal history.None of what you've done to it relates to it's history.
Some might call what you did sacrilege,while others might applaud.
I respectively think it's now a day too much car.

Re: "Roof" Deuce for sale ('70 YENKO Nova)
 

Its all good guys, I am very happy with what how I have changed this car, all thoughts welcome, I didn't like the Day 2 parts that were on it, I was going to return it to completely stock, but decided to have some fun and enjoy the hobby. My CG Deuce will be restored to a very high stock level, as is my preference. See you all soon, and as you all will get to know, I respect everyone's opinion and have very thick skin.......... I have to I have a 14 and 7 year old daughter's [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Re: "Roof" Deuce for sale ('70 YENKO Nova)
 

Wasn't the sacrilege done by restoring this car in the first place ? Isn't this the one that could have been left alone ? Why does anybody bitch about what is being done to it now ? All this stuff can be changed anytime anybody feels like it. Have fun .
