Re: Red '70 Deuce
The '70 Yenko Nova is still in it's 'discovery' stage as compared to the '69 Yenko Camaro, and people that attend an auction usually don't truly know what it is that they're looking at. With that level of knowledge base, anything incorrect will make them wait.
Most people that see a '70 Y-Nova at a show ask why it's not a 427 big block, and they also say that Yenko did not make Novas. My laminated Yenko SportsCars brochure is a quick primer for them. Just 4 years ago there were the same number of cars restored as there were in-process of restoration. Now, we have turned the corner, and the number of restored cars has increased dramatically which is why they are more prevelant at various car shows/events.
The values of the '70 Y-Novas has crept up steadily over the last 4-5 years, regardless of condition. It would difficult to purchase an authentic, running '70 Yenko Deuce Nova for less than $20,000 in this market. A car with some paperwork, restoration work, and running / driving is certainly higher than what the auction may have indicated. There are always at least 4-6 of these cars for sale at any given time, so we have a pretty good feel for the values, even if it takes a little time to sell.
tom406; the intake is dated on the underside, beneath the oil splash shield that is riveted right under the carb. As long as the intake is a '2110', it is considered to be the correct one and not the more common replacement part number.
