Re: Another cool pic!
This post has grown over the past several days. I was busy painting my Yenko, just now coming down from the fumes!!
John: The '70 Yenkos reportedly had the horsepower rating section of the air cleaner decal cut off with a razor blade. There are some air cleaners with knife marks on them. I have a pic of an original air cleaner that was found in the trunk - Wallace Deuce- with not HP section. Yenko cut off the HP number to keep the insurance guys from ruining his COPO sales like they did in '69.
The 10 HP difference between the Corvette vs. the Camaro was the exhaust manifolds, there was no difference in the actual engines.
The Gobi Beige Yenko in PA has many items on it that did not come from GM, but John purchased them from Yenko through the Stinger Stuff Catalog. This is truly a unique situation, where an original owner car actually purchased additional items from Yenko and installed them on his Yenko Nova. John kept all of the original items that he took off, including the wheels, spare ect. This car is considered to be the premier Yenko Deuce existing at this time by those that have seen it, it is an excellent combination of originality, low mileage, orig. owner, Yenko speed parts, funky color, and a really nice knowledgeable owner!
