1970 Chevrolet Nova 23422 Miles Cranberry Red Sedan 350 LT1 3 Speed Automatic

Description

This authentic Yenko Deuce's story begins at Ammon R. Smith Chevrolet of York Pennsylvania. According to area muscle car historians Ammon R. Smith received shipment of three 1970 Yenko Deuces and as of the late 2000s one of the cars was still unaccounted for. After talking with local gearheads a guy by the name of Skip Lecates made it his personal mission to track the mysterious third Deuce and after following many leads met a mechanic who recalled working on the Nova. According to the mechanic... the car was purchased by a couple who lived out in the sticks and over decades of ownership had never changed hands. With a combination of gut instinct and verbal directions Skip located the family and asked the whereabouts of their storied Chevy. That family York residents Brenda Baldwin and her dearly departed husband had purchased the car new in June of 1971. The Nova stickered for over $5000 and because that price put it firmly in Cadillac territory had racked up 500 miles languishing in Smith's showroom. The couple offered the dealer $4600 and eventually drove off in one of the coolest Chevrolets ever produced. For the next 17 years and 123K miles the completely unmodified Deuce would serve as Brenda's fun daily driver. And in 1988 the car was retired to a semi-trailer on the Baldwins' property not seeing the light of day May of 2012 when it emerged in solid original condition. Fixing the Chevy's light rust and perfecting its unique Yenko aesthetics was a pretty easy challenge for Overhaulin' stars MASCAR Auto Body. The Costa Mesa crew executed a professional nut-and-bolt restoration that primed a smooth canvas for correct Cranberry Red 2-stage. And today this Nova rolls as a revered classic that recently earned 994 out of 1000 points in MCACN Concours Gold judging.
