Re: yenko 69 Nova Big Blocks
Mike; First of all, I am flattered, but find it hard to believe that my opinion can influence the price of a supercar 5 fold. To me, that is set by the buying public. Sort of like the Douglass cars. Second of all, I do not know where the car was converted. I do know for a fact that the car was sold new at Yenko and have no reason to believe that Warren did not install a 427 in the car, at a later date. Once again, where? I do not know, maybe at his shop, maybe at one of Yenko's shops? Now, to me listing the car as a 427 Yenko Nova. I will tell you, and the rest of the board, what I told Brian, which is how I view the car. If you, or anyone else disagrees, that is fine, I respect your opinion. To me, it is a 427 Yenko Nova, but with a notation, (maybe *) stating that the car was sold new as a L-78, special order paint car. Later is recieved a L-88 427, installed by a Yenko mechanic. No more, no less. As I posted earlier, there is a Nova listed on "the list" that no one has challenged (yet) that came with the original 396, but with 3 deuces. I consider it a supercar as well, with a notation like Brian's. ONCE AGAIN, JUST MY OPINION. Tom
