Default Re: yenko 69 Nova Big Blocks

Brian's Nova is a very cool, exquisitely executed car. There was a bit of confusion as to what it actually was ,at the reunion. 1)A 427 Yenko Conversion sold new as such, 2)A non (never got) converted L78 Yenko Super Car ,3) An L78 Nova which had a transplant performed sometime after it was sold new.

BTW cool stinger hood. Did Warren install that as well?

I believe the questions posed on this thread are important as to how any car is veiwed by sYc and its membership.(exclusive of monetary judgements).

The non 427, but three deuce conversion Nova sounds like a no questions Super Car to me (bar the value judgement compared to a full 427 conversion).

Its a Yenko Chevy dealership Converted car, to some degree and sold it to the public as such.

Now for a Hypothetical scenario: If a "friend" were to have a Fully documented Nickey Chevrolet Ordered and sold 19701/2 Z28, which had an aftermarket intake, rejetted carb, magneto ignition, 4.56 ring and pinion, electric fuel pump and regulator, lakewood slapper Bars added prior to delivery to the customer, would this be considered a Super Car.

Furthermore: If one of the original Nickey Mechanics were to install an L88 Big Block in it sometime later, would this now be considered a Big Block Nickey Conversion.

In which guise could it be shown at the Reunion as a true Super Car whether small block, big block or even represented as such at all?

I am in no way trying to instigate, just trying to clarify. Thanks to all for the Forum to do so.
