1970 Yenko Deuce 4 speed Citrus Green #160


Based on the info provided by the Yenko Deuce Registry, Marlin Spotts;

Out of approx 175, 1970 Yenko Deuce LT1 COPOs sold by Yenko Sports Cars Inc. less than 100 are registered and accounted for.

Of those it is estimated that only 10 were built in Citrus Green and only one of those had power steering and a 4 speed. (This is that Deuce).

It is believed to have been Sold new from Sam Leman Chevrolet om Roanoke, Illinois.

We have the car documented back to the 1980s, when Jerry Janota, purchased the car from whom we believe were the second owners.

It was frame off restored by Bob Joyce approx 9-10 years ago and was driven on the power tour in 2005.

Based on the history of the car as we know it and Jerry's verification that he bought the car with the original drivetrain, we believe the car to have the original, engine, original trans as well as original rear end housing.

Much time labor, effort and correct parts have gone into this resto.

Jerry Janota provided a affidavit regarding the originality of the engine.

I have info from another Citrus Deuce which had remained in the same family until just a few years ago, where the original engine had been decked so no code or VIN was present, but the casting date also happens to match the one on this Deuce.

Price is SOLD.

Bid to 120K.Good looking car.

Saw the car at R&S - it looks spectacular. Really stood out in a sea of 'Vettes, Mustangs, 'Cudas, etc. Nicer in person than the pictures conveyed, IMO.

Thanks for the kind words. It's a Kool Deuce.

This is one of those cars were each successive owner has improved it, very nice to see. I spent some time studying the photos, and the detailing is very good. Someone will get a very nice car here - correct 731 interior, appears to have original door panels (very hard to find!), rubber mat, correct shifter boot and bezel, etc....
