Default Re: 70 Hurst SS Nova Giveaway car

... Do the Yenko Deuces have the push on center caps and did Don place his "Y" over the SS decal? I was always curious about that. I know they are a late year 70 car being built in 1970.

The Deuces were built in late May and early June of '70. The Magnum wheels on the Deuces were ordered directly from MotorWheel by Yenko, as well as the centercaps. The centercaps have the Magnum 500 plastic insert with the raised crossed flags, and are bolt on's. The Y decal was placed over this plastic insert, and when closely observed the raised flags can be seen through the thin mylar decal. On some original cars, the chrome has come off of the mylar decal, and you can actually see the plastic insert. Not all deuces received the Y decals, as one car simply had a handful tossed onto the front seat - apparently Yenko was annoyed that the buyer insisted on the wheel change like the brochure stated! So, that opens the door for the possibility that some Deuces sold at Yenko might not have had the Magnum wheels installed!
