1969 Yenko Nova

I don't believe there is any question that the car is an SYC car as opposed to an 'ole BB Nova' - no offense to Brian Dorsey - because the car has a file of original SYC paperwork from Warren.

There can always be doubts about whether a '69 Yenko Nova was a 396 tuned car vs. a 427 converted car. I don't believe that there is a formal list of which cars were tuned vs. converted.

I do know that this car was verified by Vince, and it has Ed C's cert as well. So, it would be helpful to know some more of the background of the original purchase.

The car was sitting on the lot. My father and uncle looked at the car and My grandfather came back and made the purchase. I talked to someone today that spoke with Warren and he has no paper work show that the car was indeed a "YSC", just that it was sold at Yenko.

Well this is a picture that I got today from my aunt. It is not very good. It is sitting their garage after it was blown up with the slicks on it. My father did towing for yenko and knew the service manger pretty well. He told him to remove the slicks and bring it in.

Excellent info! Warren sold the paperwork to a prior owner several years ago, so that is why Warren no longer has the paperwork. You might be surprised to find that the original bill of sale is through Yenko SportsCars, not Yenko Chevrolet, which is one reason why it's considered an sYc product.

The lack of stripes and emblems is inconclusive as to whether the engine was originally a 396. Do you have a pic of the front fender area, possibly where we can see the marker light bezel?

Warren has copy's of that paper work and still has them today. What other kind of info do you want? My father was there in 69. He knows what the car was, he owned an auto business and knew then and knows now what a YSC is. Which this was not. Any one from this area knew this car. In fact over talking today at the garage there were several people around that remember the car.

Warren received copies of the paperwork today from the current owner, but the originals were sent to a prior owner in Iowa several years ago.

I'm not sure what to tell ya, but the original paperwork is from Yenko SportsCars, not Yenko Chevrolet, which indicates that the car was/is an sYc product. A buyer would not know/care which entity the car was sold through, it does make a difference today however.

Just some trivia, the last owner in PA was in Mariana - any info on how it got down to that neck of the woods?

Thats what I would like to do. But warren sold the papers to a previous owner and there for can not give me copy's. If YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY would like to call Warren then it can be resolved.
