Yenko Deuce question

He was allowed to make an amazing Nova order with the LT1 and custom 4sp Hurst shifter and all the other unique options. Seems like the wheels would have been a simple option to add on a COPO compared to all that other stuff. </div></div>

Me too, and I sort of &quot;speculate&quot; that maybe he thought he WAS getting them as part of the deuce order. If you recall, the prototype car they mocked up for the ads had the SS wheels on it, and I've seen Deuce orders where they are referred to as &quot;SS Wheels&quot; rather than Magnum 500's. Perhaps after he realized that the 14x7 steel wheels GM used on his order were the cheapie XT's he made a deal to purchase some bare SS wheels separately, then ordered Magnum 500 caps for them. Again, total speculation on my part... I just always found it odd that the wheels supposedly purchased &quot;direct from Motor Wheel&quot; had the standard GM stampings on them and differed in NO way from standard GM production line SS wheels.
