I thank you for your honesty & efforts XBM. I really have to believe that this guy was crafty enough to market himself & his product in a way that sent a wave of demand his way back then & may have used all means to meet supply, however, I also believe that there are some pretty crafty restorer's out there that could actually fabricate this situation, right down to the window sticker.
I guess I'll take my chances on this one. I don't think I'll do badly.

Proceed carefully.
The bottom line is that the 175 Yenko Deuce Novas in 1970 were all LT1 cars that were COPO'd that way from GM.
Your speculation that there was such a demand that Yenko might have scrambled to produce more by any means (ie; a 6/glide car) is quite flawed. Although Yenko and his dealer network (from Brockton, MA to Columbus, GA to Whichata, KS to Fargo, ND) had early success selling the Deuces, many of them languished on dealer lots well into '71 (including Yenko's lot). So, there was no need to convert a 6 banger.
However, if (this is a huge 'if') certain codes on the trim tag line up, there is a remote possibility that the car you are looking at might have spent time on Yenko's lot. If you supply the TT data (don't worry about the vin#, you can keep that secret if it makes you sleep better), we'll tell you if it's a noteworthy car.
Don't be fooled by the age/condition of some of the Yenko trinkets on the car. These things have been in repro for a few decades now, and they are not high quality (neither were the original YENKO trinkets) and can look aged quite quickly.
Best of luck.
