Re: 1969 Yenko Nova
Agreed!
They might be L60-14's, but not 15's as I had a set of 15's on my first Nova - had to jack the rear end up pretty tall to keep the lips from cutting into the tires

Re: 1969 Yenko Nova
Not sure those are L60's they look like radials, but a lot depends on backspacing - or rolling the lip
I'll try to dig up a pic of my first Nova with the L60-15's, they were really square and made a major racket when the lips came down on them. One night while racing 5 wide on the Roosevelt Blvd in Philadelphia, I hit a low spot on the road. The lip came down, sliced the bulge of the sidewall, and left a strip rubber dangling off of the tire. That stupid strip flailed around and slapped rubber streaks all over my new cortez silver paint job  Then again, I could have stopped

Re: 1969 Yenko Nova
My brother-in-law had '69 Z. I remember helping him "roll the lip" so we could put a set of Mickey Thompson L-60s on it.

Re: 1969 Yenko Nova
I thought SC Kid was talking about the FRONT of the car. It is higher than the rear.

Re: 1969 Yenko Nova
THE ONLY THING I HAD AT THE TIME, THEY LOOK GOOD THOUGH.IT DID HAVE THE BEST SHIFTING MUNCIE I'VE EVER DRIVEN. DROVE IT ONCE OTHER THAN ON AND OFF THE TRAILER. LETHAL, SCARY, DON'S ASSESSMENT AND THE INSURANCE COMPANIES ASSESSMENT WAS THE SAME, DON'T INSURE IT, WE'RE NOT GOING TO CONTINUE TO BUILD IT. THE CLUTCH WAS WORKING AFTER I DROVE IT LAST, PERFECTLY. I HEARD dAVE HAD SOME PROBLEMS, I HAD JUST PUT A HAYES CLUTCH AND BORG WARNER PRESSURE PLATE IN IT! IS IT FOR SALE AND COULD I MAKE INSTALLMENT'S, HA! SIMPLY AWESOME!KEEP IN MIND NOVA'S ARE HARD TO FIND PARTS FOR, BRIAN HENDERSON HELPED WITH CORRECT GRILL & EYEBROWS, CORRECT WHEEL COLOR PAINT AND MANY TIDBITS OF INFO. i THINK I DROVE IT MAYBE 2 MILES, THE MOST MEMORABLE MILES OF MY LIFE! MAYBE SOME DAY WE CAN RE-UNITE!
 NOTHING ELSE EVEN COMES CLOSE IMO!
