1970 Yenko Deuce 4 speed, Citrus Green #160

Based on the info provided by the Yenko Deuce Registry, Marlin Spotts;

Out of approx 175, 1970 Yenko Deuce LT1 COPOs sold by Yenko Sports Cars Inc. less than 100 are registered and accounted for.

Of those it is estimated that only 10 were built in Citrus Green and only one of those had power steering and a 4 speed. (This is that Deuce).

It is believed to have been Sold new from Sam Leman Chevrolet om Roanoke, Illinois.

We have the car documented back to the 1980s, when Jerry Janota, purchased the car from whom we believe were the second owners.

It was frame off restored approx 9-10 years ago and was driven on the power tour in 2005.

Based on the history of the car as we know it and Jerry's verification that he bought the car with the original drivetrain, we believe the car to have the original, engine, original trans as well as original rear end housing.

Price is $139,500.00

Does anybody have any pictures of the Sam Leman dealership in Roanoke IL? Roanoke is a small farming town of less than 2K people in central IL. My grandmother lived there for 30+ years so I am quite familiar with it. My cousin's husband worked at Sam Leman in the mid 80's to early 90's, but by that time they had moved to I believe Washington IL. I just Googled them and they still have 7 dealerships in central IL. It looks like they sold at least 4 Yenko Deuces according to the registry.

There were two Citrus 4 speeds, a Red and Yellow one from Sam Leman.

All the Citrus Deuces were in the last batch order of 50 Cars and built at Hurst.
