You can run a NCRS Vin trace but they are all going to show Yenko as the original dealership not the selling dealership it was transferred to after Yenko did the 427 conversion.

BTW personally this is where I would begin my search.
TWO Garnet Black Roof Black Interior Yenko Nova's.

I'm already 3 owners into that car. It's not that car. I have the original owners name in my cell.
