Re: 1969 Yenko Nova
 

I kinda like the prepurle 57. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif
Question: Wasn't Yenko a licensed manufacturer of cars? Starting with the corvairs that he raced didn't he have manufacturing status? That being why his cars were called Yenko stinger corvairs, Yenko camaros, Yenko novas, etc. Is it possible that this status played a part in where cars were slotted, and documented to? ie:converted, bought for conversion, slated to convert, but not converted, or dealership cars.

I really think that Yenko's statement about the Nova's was for covering his a$$. The camaros came COPO factory warrenty and liablity. Whereas the nova's where all his baby. JMO

Did most of the converted Novas get the side stripes? I can't see any in that vintage picture but obviously that car could have been repainted at any point with the sponsor stuff on it.

This looks like our own Route 66 Raceway in Joliet Il.

This is the only 'old-school' picture that I have seen of this car. However, we have no reason to believe that this car did not originally come with the stripes, there are a few eyewitness accounts of seeing the car locally with the stripes on it. So, although they are missing in this pic, we believe it was originally striped.

Were they white or black stripes?

Re: 1969 Yenko Nova
 

I was just wondering what came of all of this. It has been a few years since we have heard anything.

Hi Brian..I think the car has been restored back to a 396 car and I think there is or was a lawsuit.

Re: 1969 Yenko Nova
 

Has any research been done in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette Classifieds from summer of 82/83 on the Green 427 Nova? Was listed as a rusty project car, 1 0f 38. Wish I had kept the ad.
