Marlin, Did the Deuce use any SS Nova parts?
The grill looks like it has the silver grid patern like a non SS Nova.

The '70 Yenko Nova did not use any Super Sport parts. They had a plain grille, hood, and taillight panel, as well as a plain steering wheel. These are generally the only parts standard on an SS Nova.

SS Novas did not have buckets, tach dash, clock, console, custom interior, rear sway bars, ect. as standard equipment. The only questionable item would be the F41 package. The '70 Yenko Novas received the rear sway bar as part of the F41 package, but this was not standard on the Super Sports. The literature that I have says that the SS option was required to get the F41 package, but that has not been verified. Either way, the Yenkos received the F41 as part of the COPO 9737 option, (not an SS option), which had a different recipe for '70 vs. '68 & '69, (like 15 inch rallye's for eg.).

The Yenko Novas were not ordered with the 300HP 350 engine as some people have published. This would generally require the SS package, although I have met some who claim they have a 300HP non-SS Nova. The Yenkos were ordered with the L65, 265HP 350 engine - which was a non-SS engine.

M,
What about the Gobi Beige Deuce with all the style trim from new. Is that the only known screw up Deuce...

BKH:

At this time, that is the only known deuce that came with the exterior decor package and window moldings, neither of these are specific to an SS though. This car appears to be a factory mixup. It was initially thought that during the course of a 'modified' restoration by a prior owner, these options were added to this car. However, after receiving a photo from the original owner while the car was still Gobi, the options and emblem placement were evident.

A second note, one original owner deuce in NH has a FG, A/T, P/S, car that came with an SS tail panel, only. It is believed that the car was probably damaged on the lot, and it was cheaper to slap on the SS panel than it was to repair it.

marlin,what about the yenko crest
emblem placement on the 70 novas?
did some of the early cars have
them placed above like some of
the early camaros?it seems anything
is possible ,just as the placement of
stripes probably varied from car to car!

John;

Other than the dressed up Gobi car, all '70 Yenko Novas had the YENKO crest emblems placed below the NOVA emblem on the front fenders.

The rear decklid 'NOVA by Chevrolet' emblem was removed, and the YENKO crest emblem put in it's place. There were some cars that had their emblems removed, (stolen), while on dealer's lots. One original owner insisted that Yenko put on some new ones. Another original owner didn't know it was supposed to have emblems since the holes on the decklid were covered by that dealer's own sticker; 'WALLACE CHEV'.

Will add picture later,

Marlin, Help, I don't know much about the '70 Novas. I always thought cars came with LT-1's (factory installed) and you say they were ordered as L65's. Were the cars just standard Novas with stripe packages or was the engine different? Thanks
