New Arrival, 1970 Nova Yenko Deuce

I didn't know much about these cars, so I did a bit of research.  This information is taken from an article in Motor Trend magazine.  I was especially interested in how the "Deuce" got its name, and I found out that the moniker came from the 1963 Beach Boys song "Little Deuce Coupe".

Total '70 Yenko Deuce sales were 175. The Deuce featured a Z28 Camaro/LT1 Corvette 350 engine, a Muncie four-speed manual or a Turbo 400 automatic transmission, F41 sport suspension, and a 12-bolt differential with a 4.10:1 Posi-traction. Magnum 500 wheels without trim rings were also part of the base package.  A total of eight exterior colors were offered: Gobi beige, Fathom blue, Citrus green, Forest green, Hugger orange, Cranberry red, Cortez silver, and Sunflower yellow. The only interior offered was a standard bench seat in black vinyl.   All 175 Deuces had a Dixco domed tachometer on the driver-side hood. Other Yenko Deuce base equipment included an AM radio, black standard bench seat, black rubber floor covering, power front disc brakes (drum brakes aft), and a special interior lighting group. On the interior was "Deuce" lettering on the upper middle of the door panels.  For optional equipment, you could order just about anything you wanted that was dealer-available. Yenko readily offered a nice wheel update-four 14x7 Atlas aluminum wheels with a Yenko decal on each center cap. The spare tire was the car's original painted steel wheel. The tire size was E70x14. Both raised white lettered or whitewall tires were available.
