Re: '69 Yenko Nova
Tom;
I agree with you that the 'unconverted Yenko Nova' theory is sketchy, at best. I think that Yenko would write up a 427 Nova order so that he could move the car, even if it was for a 'few hundred dollars' less. Yenko would install/remove just about anything, we even know of him selling cowl plenum air cleaners.
What we really need is some original owner paperwork on one of the '69 Yenko Novas, especially one of the 'unconverted' cars. We have been searching, but have not been able to find an owner that kept the paperwork. What we have found is that there were several Garnet Red and Lemans Blue cars, but not as many Rallye Green ones. We have also found that they all came with the 'XT' wheels and 'dogcaps', bench seats, rubber mats, and 4 speeds - some owners claim it to be an M22.
Regardless, the '69 Yenko Novas are awesome cars, I hope to find one someday!
