With the history of this car being well known, and documented, why is this car listed in the registry here as a Yenko Nova supercar ? I would think this is similar to Ed C certifying the GR car.

Seems deceiving for a future potential buyer if they find the car listed here. I think it should be removed or minimally have an asterisk with the known history of the car. Seems to jeapordize the integrity of the lists here and the site.

Jmho

This has also been well discussed in the past and I believe we agreed to follow the Shelby model (at that time) where cars like this one are indeed listed on a Registry (mine included) and includes a clear explanation of story. That story can include all types of information with the purpose of generating awareness and questions from a potential buyer. The last thing I want to do is exclude a car because it doesn't fit the mold and thus fuel the underground market where folks don't get what they thought they were buying.

So, I include this car as a separate category and note the 'later conversion by Yenko's race mechanic'. When folks ask how many '69 Yenko Nova's are found, I say '10, including a later conversion not performed at Yenko and several that are 396 cars'.

JMHO,
