What the Deuce? [PIC]

I saw this on sale at Supercars1 for $55 and I decided to buy it as a Christmas present for my best friend who's dream to own a hot Nova will probably never be realized.
I figured it would probably be a Acme re-release.
I turned out to be in beautiful GMP packaging encased in a 3-part styrofoam clamshell.
Yeah it's the ancient tooling with only an opening hood and pose-able wheels with no linkage to the steering when.
I like the Cranberry Red with black livery and nicely done Yenko badging. The only question I have is why is it called "Deuce"? Are there 2 4 bbls under that twin snorkel filter? It's a small block 350 LT-1 and I didn't realize that option existed.

Here is an imaginary version from GMP.....

How about a Nova Z28? I think they were called "Duce" because of the name Chevy II

Oh how I wish this was not "ancient tooling."
