The Yenko big-block Nova was Produced in 1969 and the small-block-inspired Deuce debuted in 1970. The first-year Yenko's numbered 37, of which 28 had a 427 installed by Yenko's crew and 9 left the lot with the factory-installed 375-horse 396 powerplant. They were 396 cars with no SS emblems.Yenko Novas were available with either the close-ratio Muncie four speed with Hurst linkage or a Turbo Hydra-matic with Hurst Dual-Gate shifter, mated to a heavy-duty 4.10:1 12 bolt Posi axle.

1970 Yenko decided to install a Camaro Z28 LT1 with 360 houses, solid-lifter cam, F-41 suspension and a choice of manual or automatic transmission. 175 versions of the Deuce were built under COPO 9010 and offered in one of eight unique colors. Each car came stock with standard-grade black interior and a front bench seat.

This information was found on Nova History. Again, Your car has the wrong shifter, get rid of the wrong column, please spend the extra $200.00 for a floor shift column. Then change out the shift indicator on the dash to a blank, another $40.00. Then it should look correct, does it have a rear sway bar? Again, Is the vin number correct, tell us the first 5 digits on your ad, you got a 33% chance since they made those cars with either a 4,6 or 8. For your price, I would seek out a more desirable Yenko Corvette,Camaro or Chevelle before buying the Nova version. The only less desirables would be the Corvair and Vega stinger.
