Default Re: Gobi Yenko Deuce finds its way to EBaY

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: 92646</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I am confused on a couple of observations because I do not know enough about these cars. It was noticed that the car has a small block trans cross member but with the car being built with an LT-1 350 from the factory what cross member should it have? I thought if a Nova came with a radio in 1970 the antenna would be mounted in the windshield. Was a fender mounted antenna ever offered in 1970? Is just the dash gauge panel from a later model Nova or has the whole dash carrier assembly been replaced? </div></div>

The Deuces came with a BB crossmember, not sure why but we think its a carryover from the '69 COPO 9737 which was BB based. The '70 Deuces all have AM Radios w/ windshield antenna's, I think even the FM cars got 'em - but got ground straps. Can't tell if the speedo unit is from '72 or just the bezel.

The car looks like it indeed had its frame off at some point in order to get the gobi bottom treatment, not a huge deal, but is another indicator that the car is more likely a 104k mile car. I noticed the tach wires go to the center of underside of the hood, but the tach appears to be mounted in the correct location - just made me curious.

I asked the seller on Monday to post pics of the trans/rear, and told him exactly where/how to do it. The car is easily accessible as is the lift. Ed is correct, I don't know that I've ever seen but one CBW rear found loose in the market, so they are all but unobtainable - they are also rarely missing from Deuces, but until we know this car very well may stall.
