Default Unknown 69 Yenko Nova?

I ran across this photo recently and there is a 69 aparently Dark Green Nova with White roof and white stripe. Is this a known car? Looks to have a remote mirror and the Yenko crest on the fender.

Appears to be late 70's early 80's.

It would be an Awesome looking combo, are there any cars matching the description on Yenko INV sheets?

Things get changed around sometimes. There was a sunflower yellow deuce with a black V. top out there. And there was at least one ralley green Yenko Camaro sold with out stripes.

Never say never, but you gotta prove it.

Fathom green. Yes. That doesn't really look like fathom green, but hard to tell in those old pics. Other would have to be ralley green, and that's not it.

Having messed with many old pictures I believe the color to be dark green.
