1970 Yenko Deuce

[Stuart Adams]

Wow, alot more original drivetrain cars than I thought. $110K is a good number IMO.

No I have not seen the car. Just a generalization and finding out how many cars are out there.

The number of deuces with original drivetrains is higher than most people expect, Linda hinted at the reason why. Although numerous letters were written by Don Yenko to the NHRA, the deuce was never officially classified as a stock combination. Don attempted to get the car certified as late as August of '71. Those that wished to race the deuce in NHRA were forced to run in MP. There are reports from owners that they simply parked their deuce after they could not run it, one owner was so perturbed at Don that he took the YENKO off of the q/panels - if he had known that the emblems were sticky's he would have removed them as well.

The deuce was classified by the AHRA as E-stock, and by the NAAR in Oakmont, PA as F-stock.

So, without an official class to run in NHRA, most cars were never raced, therefore, their drivetrains have survived.

Linda....please don't be offended by any remarks here. . As with many situations in life, different opinions and good ol' bantering helps expose reality. . Personally I think you've done it all exactly right....also by not saying you'll accept the figures offered doesn't mean you expect more? . I also think you'd like to find the right home for your car, not necessarily reach the highest $ amount? . Either way, good luck! ~ Pete
