If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, runs faster than a duck but is not an original duck and is 75k cheaper than an original duck... then is it a goose or a turkey? /ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif

LVCamaro, that is funny! The point I am trying to make is that I am thinking of making a deuce clone out of my 70 Nova, not to try to pass it off but to enjoy and pay tribute. I will however make sure it is faster. Thinking of a 502.

Let me get this straight...you are building a '70 Deuce "clone", yet going bigblock? Can I ask why? When I hear "Yenko Deuce", I instantly think "LT-1". Those LT-1s are pretty potent in their own right, just check out this Stock Appearing '70 COPO Nova clone (http://www1.freewebs.com/inductionspecialties/smallblockengines.htm) that runs high 11s @ almost 118mph on redlines! Pretty cool...for a small block!

Rob, I'm guessing that car had a STRONG tailwind to run high elevens! /ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif I want to build a rat motor but love the look of the Yenko Deuce and since it is a 70...

Don't know about the tail wind, but he ran 11s on some lazy high 1.9 short times. Jim feels the car is good for 11.60s...

I sure would like to know more about his combo then. How much does the car weigh? If he can run those numbers thru stock exhaust manifolds and steel heads on skinny tires N/A, then I need to know more! The MPH indicates he can turn a better ET but the 1.9 60' at least indicates he is getting it to hook somewhat on those tires, with that kind of power without suspension mods, those tires should just fry! What tranny, how many cubes, and the rest? /ubbthreads/images/icons/confused.gif

Well, the owner is on this board (Buizilla (http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/showprofile.php?Cat=&User=Buizilla&what=search&For um=All_Forums&Words=xt%20wheels&Match=Entire%20Phr ase&Searchpage=0&Limit=25&Old=allposts)) and I think he told me the car regularly 60 foots down in the 1.8s, and did a 1.84 at Bristol, but the air was crap, and he was 3-4 mph off...yet he ran 12.1s! HERE (http://www.v8buick.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=8834) is a thread about his recent runs. So, you do the math...
It's an auto, no idea on cubes, but he says it's under 400. As for weight, it's probably relatively light, but the car runs a full interior, and has to remain a stock appearance, so it hasn't been "stripped".

That thread states he is less than 400ci. Sure would like to know more about this car. I went to the site in his signature, something about diesels and turbo chargers, maybe that is it! I am intrigued, so I am gonna do a search on this site, under his user ID. Inquiring mind wants to know! /ubbthreads/images/icons/smirk.gif

I don't think there is any info about his car on this site, or any site for that matter. Try shooting him an email. Jim (Buizilla) has been really helpful to me in the past!

Thanks, Rob, I sent him a PM.

Please tell me you are joking. Who will you be paying Tribute to? A real Tribute car is exact in it's detail, not some 6cyl car with a transplant BB and some stripes/emblems. Why do we need another clone car running around, the next owner will just start the 'I'm not sure' story, 'I think it's the only one produced, it's a special version.....' yada yada yada.
Keep your turkey, a Turkey, TURKEY.

Hey;
Maybe you should put Yenko stripes on your 69ssrs350!

Marlin, have another cup of coffee and relax. I said "I am thinking" didn't say I have decided. You are being a little over protective. I would think you would be more concerned about those replicas that are exact in every detail. I am going to ignore the rude tone of your posts and chalk it up to your love of the Yenko Deuce. It is too bad that you can't control the entire hobby as you appear to want. When I make a decision on what to do with my car, I will be sure to check with you first to make sure it fits your approval.

Ok!
I'll be waiting by the phone to answer your questions.
Get a real one, why have a wanna-be?
BTW; 'Tone' is a subjective term.

Stefano,
Belky "showed you some love, and you turned him away"!
Stefano

No, I didn't turn him away, I am just playing hard to get.

Steve,
Have you asked Ed about his silver one?
Stefano
11-13-2002, 07:01 PM
Yes.
YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY

And?
Will he sell it to you?

Marlin, could you send me some paint chips off your car? I am sure there are some. I have decided to paint my car Gobi Beige and make it look just like yours, kinda of a tribute to a bean counter thing. /ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif
Rob, you need to add a boxing glove Graemlin! /ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif

In keeping with the tribute to Marlin theme and so everybody will know it is a clone, instead of "YENKO" on the license plate I will put "BEANKO". I already checked with the MVD, it is still available. /ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif

Now, Now, I know you don't like Gobi Beige! I accounted for every bean that cost more than $1 on my resto, you don't want to copy my car!
69ssrs350,
Honestly, what did you expect from this post? You can't be surprised with the response. Hey, if your gonna pitch, I'm gonna swing /ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif
