If the name Yenko doesn't immediately get your heart beating a little faster, you should probably keep clicking through our catalog for something else. If you're still here, however, you'll remember that the little Yenko dealership out of Canonsburg, PA, authored some of the baddest Chevys to ever wear a Bowtie badge. This 1970 Chevrolet Nova Yenko Deuce is a registered member of the club and is just one of TEN ever made in Sunflower Yellow. Yenko took the lightest body in the Chevy lineup and stuffed its most powerful small block between its front fenders to create a muscle car few others could match.
Meticulously restored by its previous owner using all original GM parts, the car's interior is black vinyl and appears to have been completely replaced in factory-correct form. The roomy bench seat is complemented nicely by the 'Yenko Deuce' door badges and classic Hurst shifter.
Under the hood, we find a small-block 350 CID LT1 V-8 that, though not original, has been taken out of a 1970 Camaro Z/28 and built to the original specs of the Yenko. A solid-lifter cam, 11:1 compression ratio, factory aluminum intake, and big Holley 780-cfm carburetor all add up to this mighty-mouse-motor's massive 360 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque. Handling all that power is a Muncie M21 four-speed manual transmission, which then sent power out to a GM 12-bolt rear end finished with 4.10 gears which will undoubtedly put the car's Positraction to the test.

If you missed your chance to own one of these endangered species the first time around, but still fantasize about what it's like to sit behind the wheel of the hottest Chevy small-block made in that era, while staring out at the hood-mounted tach daring you to try and keep up with its race to the redline, consider this your second chance. But being just one of ten 1970 Chevrolet Nova Yenko Deuce models in existence, don't expect there to be a third. Call today!
