A Little History

Don Yenko was an American race car driver most known for creating the Yenko Camaro, a high-performance version of the Chevrolet Camaro.

In 1957, Yenko set up a performance shop in Canonsburg, PA for Chevrolet vehicles, where customers could either order high performance parts or have their car modified by Yenkos mechanics.

As the popularity of muscle cars in the 1970s declined due to higher insurance premiums and tighter emission rules, Yenko shrewdly countered with modifications to the 1970 Nova.

Instead of putting a big block 427 cu. in. in his special Nova, Yenko convinced GM to put in the powerful small block 350 cu.in. shared by the new Z-28 Camaro and LT1 Corvette.

Don Yenko nicknamed this car Deuce after the 1963 Beach Boys hit Little Deuce Coupe, which in turn referred to Fords 1932 Model 18, considered by auto enthusiasts to be the definitive hot-rod.
