So after reading through this, but I'm not on Facebook to see that, this is my take:
This 1969 SS Nova 396 is just that, a 19699 SS NOVA. Now some may argue that it`s a "conversion car", well then it would be an SS396 or have the 396 as it would be 427 AFTER the conversion. I could see between this been SOLD at YENKO and be slated for conversion to add MAYBE 15%, but nothing more then that. SORRY to the owner or anyone else, but it is what it is. And the fact that's it's an auto even further pushes away the claim of YSC.
A YENKO YSC Nova/Chevelle/Camaro HAS the L72 427's in 1969. That is what made them YSC's.
I have did the Yenko stripe kit thing to my 1969 Nova SS396 L-34. It was sold NEW at Chatham Motor ltd. I "believe" the original owner wanted a 427, so maybe I should say he wanted a "CONROY CHEETAH" and market it as such????? It has been a street racer for many many years.
I did happen to meet Kevin Hand and his '69 YSC Nova RG car just after I put the stripes on my car. I seen his car in a magazine and never knew of Yenko Nova's till then. I wasn't looking to make a clone or anything, just I THOUGHT the sides of the Nova's need a way to break them up as there pretty Plain-Jane, and the Yenko Stripe do.
