Marlin is the man with the numbers, but I'm pretty sure all were either 05D or 06A builds.

There were two separate batches built. the first 125 were in equal numbers of cranberry red, fathom blue, forrest green, cortez silver, and gobi beige. They went to Yenko for stripes, and finish. those corrolate with the first date Joe mentioned, The second batch were sent to Hurst for finishing. I doubt that many of those ever saw Cannonsburg. Those are the ones that go with the 2nd build date Joe and Mike stated. That order had the 10 huggar orange, sunflower yellow, and citrus green cars. Referred to as "spring time color offerings". Also 10 more CR, and 10 FB to round out the 50.
Deuce motors are stamped CTB, or CTC, which denotes 70 Z28 4spd, or auto. The deuce add calls the motors Corvette type with 800cfm carbs. Neither of which are correct. I did believe that when I bought mine that it had a Corvette motor. It wasn't until later, after meeting Marlin, that I learned it was a Z code. Don still wanted you to believe that he was doing the transplants. And the info he printed wasn't always the exact truth.

There is no doubt some of the spring time colors saw Canonsburg. There were a few of those colors sold at Yenko..BKH

[/ QUOTE ]Wern't the Vette LT-1's and the 70 Z/28's the same motor? Were they not built at the same place and stamped with a Yenko Deuce code?

I've always understood the difference between the two was their gross horse power,do to different exhaust manifolds & notated with seperate suffix codes.
1970 Corvette LT-1 350/370HP coded CTU/CTV used Ex.Man. LH-3872765 & RH-3932461.
1970 Camaro LT-1 350/360HP coded CTB/CTC used Ex.Man. LH-3942527 & RH-3946826.

The reason I was interested in the vette/z28 issue was part numbers? I was curious about part numbers for the deuce that followed the Z but read that the deuce had a vette LT1

so now it's making more sense to me.
