Hi guys, I've been a member for a lil bit now but this is my first post. Today just seemed to be the perfect time as I have a question about a car I just bought. It is a 1969 Nova with a big block 4 speed factory black bucket seat interior, Factory ralley green paint with black vinyl top. Was told by previous owner that the big block was original and numbers matching however I was unsure because its a 427. Although I havent checked suffix numbers myself, the casting numbers are 3963512, and date code 69. Just wondering if there was anything I could look for that would tell me if it's a Yenko like body, suspension, or any other sign that would distinguish between Yenko to just factory big block car.

Will get the vin off the car tomorrow. I assume it looked like that but at one point somebody painted the car red, and has been hit in right front, not hard but hard enought to mess up bumper grill and right front fender. Car hasn't been on the road in 20+ years, the last plate was a california black plate and are still on the car.

Ok Charlie here is the VIN 114279W517069 sorry it took longer to get back to you the last couple days have been hectic.

P.S. Also this is the dash vin am going to check in a couple days to make sure all others match.

Also before i forget I checked my interior a little more and its factory buckets but with no sign of a console. Didn't know if that means anything?

Thanks for any help,
Steve

The vin is not on the list of Yenko's we have and I don't see any in the 500000 range. Highest I see is 482561. A picture of the engine pad stamping and trim tag would be good to see.
