The YDN’s were offered in 8 colors, and could be had with power steering and/or an automatic transmission.The second order of cars was built in 06B, although there is a significant span of bodies between these two orders.
#70s nova full
The first 125 cars were built in 05D and 06A, a full 5-6 months after being ordered – likely due to the labor strike in ’70.
All of the cars were built in 3 consecutive weeks. Yenko Chevrolet placed the first order for 125 YDN’s on December 16, The exact date of the second order of 50 YDN’s is unknown, but was late enough to incorporate the Special Spring Colors that became available on Novas in early 1970. As with any effort, the more you learn – the more questions you ask, but for now here are a couple of things we’ve picked up along the way that have helped put some of the puzzle together. Now, some 15 years later we’ve made remarkable progress due to the generosity of fellow enthusiasts who’ve contributed knowledge, photos, and information. Information needed to be aggregated in one place so owners and enthusiasts could learn more about this COPO. My quest for detail information now began in earnest – but to be honest, there was nowhere to go! So, the Yenko Deuce Registry was formed, motivated by a combination of frustration and necessity. Although I’d never seen one before, I bought the Yenko sight unseen – having never even heard or seen the color ‘Gobi Beige’. My curiosity was peaked however, and I decided that I needed to own one of these cars.įast forward to April of ’96, a chance sighting of a different Yenko Deuce ad in the Auto Trader by a friend ended up with my purchase of a project Yenko Deuce – ironically, from the Cliff Ernst collection. As I researched these cars, I learned quickly that a vast amount of variability existed within the circulated information, which was propagating a lot of confusion. 
I became aware of the ’70 Yenko Deuce Novas in the late ‘80’s, but really got interested in the early ‘90’s when I read a Super Chevy article about the Cliff Ernst Yenko collection entitled ‘The Temple of Zoom’.
