[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

This car has been on that site for a few months now, but the phone number doesn't seem to work.

This is the Otis Chandler car, and the photo in the ad is from that era. The car is a real Yenko, and it was originally sold out of Central Chev. in Cleveland, OH. The car was purchased by Otis from Alan J. in Connecticut, how it got from OH to CT is unknown. The car is a 4 speed, no power steering, and is one of the relatively few that received the dealer installed Sport Mirrors option. This car is the 47th car made, and was asigned stock number YS-026.

The Fathom Blue paint is usually one of the favorite colors on any Yenko car. There were approx. 35 '70 Yenko Novas in Fathom Blue, 24 four-speeds and 11 a/t's. At this time there are approx. 13 Fathom Blue cars located, 10 four-speeds and 3 a/t's.

The car is claimed to have it's original drivetrain, the engine was removed for cleaning and reinstalled, and the car has reportedly been repainted. The only real flaws with this car are the incorrect seats, (~$1200), incorrect exhaust manifolds, (~$350-$1000), no smog, ($1100), and not sure if there is a rear sway bar, ($250-$300). There will always be the bunch of items that you can't find when only looking at photos, but overall it is a strong car and is priced at its upper limit of $35k. Not many '70 Yenko Novas trade in this price range. Those cars that do, are usually among the best in the country and are rarely advertised. This car may be one of the better opportunities out there if the price were adjusted for the incorrect items.
