Default Yenko Deuce Stripe Theory

In the 7+ years of researching the Yenko Deuce Novas, some theories inevitably arise, get tested, and are either confirmed, denied or continue. Such is the case with the stripe design that Don designed for the '70 Yenko Nova.

Take into account Don's personal racing career, the origin of the sYc, numerous ad's, the brochure, and most importantly, the actual design of the Yenko Deuce's drivetrain/suspension combination, and take a look at these photos - especially the early ad that Kim Howie found.

I believe that Don's effort with the '70 Yenko Deuce was to bring the sYc back to SCCA racing, primarily to compete with the Boss product!

What do you think?
