Yes, a Yenko Deuce is a COPO 9010 car. It can also have other COPO options added.

COPO engine code:
CTB = 4-speed, CTC = automatic

9010 350/360hp "LT-1" engine - This deleted RPO L65 and added the same engine as used in the Z/28 Camaro

9737 Sports Car Conversion - This deleted F40 and M-20, and added the F-41 suspension (which included the addition of a 13/16" front sway bar and added a rear sway bar, and was originally an SS only option), either the M-21 or 400 Turbo-Hydramatic transmission, and a special heat-treated ring and pinion.

A side note on what some of us original owners thought we had when we bought deuces. I thought that mine had a Corvette LT/1. Reason being, that's how Don advertised the car. "Corvette type motor". Nothing ever referenced Z28. Not that it made any difference other than I thought it was a Vette motor.
When we started to look for a correct motor for Cronkleton's deuce we looked for a Corvette blk, as we still thought that's what they were.(This was a very long time ago). It wasn't until I met Marlin that I found out that it was coded for a Z28.Don also claimed on his brochure that it came with a 800cfm Holley. I've always wondered if some of this was an intent to do as a modification that never happened, or a mild misrepresentation.

Sounds like some salesmanship was used bu ol' Don. But you know, the Z28 with the LT1 was not as established since Z28 to a lot of people still drew thoughts of the DZ motors. I would have done the same thing from a marketing standpoint.

$150k for a SB Yenko Nova is in line with the market, the high water mark is probably around $200k +/-.

I agree with Marlin, and Joe. With some difference depending on rarity of color, and auto vrs 4spd.

Marlin and I will always agree to disagree on this point. My COPO came with a M20. Original owner says so and so does Dave Mathers, who ordered both COPO cars. In ALL other Canadian COPO's, whether it be a Camaro or a Chevelle, what ever tranny was ordered on the GM of Canada sheets, that tranny was never deleted like the L78 was.I believe the sports car conversion also deleted the 6 inch wheels, that would have come on a small block car and added 7 inch wheels.

PS Excellent report Marlin!

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Yep, Pete and I agree to just shake hands and leave it be

Did the Auto/Stick shifter in the TH400 Deuces use the bolt-on stick or the welded-on version? Thanks, BCD.
