Supercar Photographs

Stefano had this car advertised in the for sale section of this site in July of 2008 and there he said it had a lot of original paperwork and was sold by Yenko. I don't know how to link that, but he only had pictures of the car and the engine compartment. There were a bunch of pictures on the old Nickey site but they are no longer there. I did find my notes from when it was on the Nickey site and I wrote down the trim tag information. What I have is NOR219759, 711 76 76, 03B X44. It also said the original owner was known and that Bob Harris at Camaro Specialties had the car at some point. I'm not sure if he restored it, or just freshened it up later.

#113. This Yenko Nova is W467756 and was sold new at Yenko. I believe this car was formerly owned by Randy Miller and Dan Cupido. There are photos of it in the February 1993 issues of Popular Hot Rodding and Muscle Car Review when Randy Miller owned it along with his Garnet Red Yenko Chevelle from above and Daytona Yellow Yenko Camaro. It was also featured in Bob McClurg's Yenko book when Dan Cupido owned it. Cliff Ernst used to have an identical car to this as well. I'm not sure if he still owns his or not.

Dan's Yenko Nova spent a fair amount of time in Western Maryland when new and then migrated to Eastern Maryland before coming back to PA before being discovered. It was great to see this car racing at one of the SCR's!

Yes, Cliff still has his FG Yenko Nova.

Dug up my notes on this '69 Yenko Nova. Car was 'found' in 1986 by a guy in St Paul, MN (not Vince E.), who tracked it down because he knew it was a Yenko. The car was in Beaverdale, PA at that time and was painted maroon,owner was Richard S (1981-1986 est) who bought it from his friend John M for $1,000. John M bought from ? for $100 somewhere around '75 est.

We estimate that the car had come into PA sometime between '74 and '75, but since the car was found we didn't really do a lot of digging with the PA DMV. The car appears to have spent its early life in MD, beginning in Cumberland, MD in '72 and then migrated all the way to eastern MD - Elkton in Cecil County to be exact - in '73 to a guy named Freddie (who might have been a car dealer), before it ended up in PA. Somewhere along the way I think it got an R title in MD (not in PA), but I can't find those notes.

PS: just found my additional notes, I hadn't filed them yet. Here's the general ownership history as I've researched:

5/27/70 - Charles K in Lavale, MD, could have been the orig owner, he financed $1,927.
8/12/71 - Walter H in Cumberland, MD, pays $2,250 but finances $3,119 (must have rolled in another loan).
8/04/72 - James S in Cumberland, MD, pays ?
11/26/73 - Freddie F in Elkton, MD, pays $1,200
4/01/74 - title is reassigned by Freddie, typically only done by dealers. This is also the same date that Freddie files a formal 'Request to Waive Inspection Prior to Re-Building a Motor Vehicle'. So, one could speculate that Freddie is a used car dealer who bought a wreck, theft or flood vehicle from western MD and rebuilt it for resale at his place in eastern MD. Car then goes to PA.
10/17/75 - John M in PA
1981 - 1986 Richard S in Beaverdale, PA
1986 - went to MN, and eventually to Mike Miller in NC then to Danny in Canada.

Marlin -- are you sure that in a prior life you may have been Chief Inspector Jacques Clouseau? LOL

#114. This Yenko Deuce was sold new at Dale Chevrolet in Waukesha WI. This is a numbers matching and documented 4 speed car. It was featured in Muscle Car Review when Steve Sandlin owned it alongside Joe Barr's matching Yenko Deuce. There are also photos of both of these cars in Bob McClurg's Yenko book.

Maybe we could add a little twist to it for Marlin, Chief Inspector Jacques Yenko!

This latest green Deuce is pretty much like the one Mark McDonald owned in Rantoul, Il. Never could find out what happened to that Deuce. TAZ

We nicknamed The Sandlin Green Deuce the 'Moses Deuce' since it was an original owner car when he bought it and that was the original owners name. What a great car to find&quot;
