The February 1988 issue of 'Muscle car Classics' has a few interesting photos. I don't recall having the cars discussed on the site and was currious if anyone had any info. about them?
It has a feature article on Carl Dwiggin's Yenko Deuce. On the top left of page 29 there is a 1969 Yenko Nova. The caption Reads;"Ron Kacir restored this Yenko Nova purchased new by his brother. Ron rebuilt the car after it was damaged in a wreck and has been drag racing it since. Car ran 13.80s at 101mph. Power comes from a 350-cubic inch backed by a 4speed." Then on page 28 at the bottom right there is a picture of a, "Metallic blue 1969 Yenko Camaro still has the original YSC headrest bucket seats. Mileage on this one is 44,858." It is X11 trimmed, D80 equipped, endura bumper, white vinyl top and Yenko stripes and no 427 emblems on the cowl hood. Then on page 82 there is a;" Restored 1970 427 Nova has new metalic blue lacquer paint job with clear coats and black pin striping. The 427-335hp was upped to 512 hp when engine was rebuilt. It is equipped with an M-22 rock rusher four speed and 12 bolt 4.11 gear posi rearend and heavy duty suspension. Car has never been wrecked and all chrome is original. Black stock bucket seats grace the interior. It is a one-owner car priced at $8,900.00". This car was for sale at Carlisle. Other than the Red Deuce are these other cars fact or fiction? There is also an extensive article detailing how to clone/fake Muscle cars to include COPO Camaros. I believe the Chevelle community was still comming to grips with COPO Chevelles at this time, to reference how far the body of knowledge has evolved since then. |
