Default Re: Yenko Deuce in Wheeling W.VA?????

W:

I am not sure about this one, I believe there was only one car that might have been a six cylinder 'Yenko Deuce'. This car is the one picured on the 'Mini Muscle Car' Yenko brochure. I believe the brochure car to be a non-COPO car, and probably not a 350 because it does not have the 350 emblems on the fenders, and the interior appears to be blue instead of black. This car was probably pulled off the lot and dressed up with the Yenko 'goods' just for the brochure. This is unfortunate because this is the only car known to have the optional hood scoop. The problem with this car being the same as the one you are researching is that the brochure car is blue, and has not been found. Maybe you can inquire as to it having a hood scoop at one time and sport mirrors.

The other possibility is that it was just a regular car that someone stuck YENKO emblems on. They were readily available from other cars sold at the dealership, and came in various forms.

The last possibility is that the LT1 was pulled and the 6 cyl. installed.

As for the color, I show no Huggar Orange Yenko Novas sold from Yenko Chevrolet.

Let me know what she remembers, and I can see if we can trace it.
