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.

Shared on Lost Muscle Cars! I've given your car chase before too. I have 5 other '69 Yenko Novas I've been hunting as well.

Wisconsin ads are likely the Yenko 427 Nova from the 11/69 Hult Chevrolet ad below?
Being Ohio, there may be more of a chance the subject 427 Nova is the Yenko in the 07/72 ad posted previously also here again further below w/ another Cinncinati ad from 04/73 which is likely the same car but different phone #'s/owners?
What seems questionable w/ the cars in most of these ads is how they all sound too complete to be the OP's Dad's car, even if subsequent owners recognized/knew what it was after Yenko added L72/Stripes/Badging removed?
Great thread also good to hear word about this car is spreading!

IF you can get anything out of the OHIO DMV I would love to know... I am missing the original owner on my 71 LT1 survivor - the car was traded in after 18 months & a marathon of 27k miles ---
Built the last day of 1971 Production - and built 18 cars from the end -it is the last known 71 LT1 built.
Jack Maxton sold it new - August -September of 1971 but purged records after 7 years.
in March of 1973 Atzlan Chrysler in Cinci sold the car to the man I bought it from - I have the registrations and title from 1973 - and it has the PREVIOUS TITLE NUMBER on it's face. but I have not been able to find out anything further.
I posted some ads on Craigs list in Cinci and near Jack Maxton in Worthington with photos of the car - if someone drove 27k miles in a Brandshatch Green 71 LT1 within 18 months - THEY WOULD REMEMBER!

Interesting search, if you do end up building a Nova I would personally stay with the 69 the dashes in the 68’s are totally different than the 69’s on the 70 up externally would be the tail lights , marker lights & front bumper , but the inside is pretty much the same except the door panels have wood grain ....Good Luck in your search ... Did you try checking with the insurance agent for the Vin ?

Being Ohio also a '69, it may be worth considering this 08/73 ad w/ the other possibilities?
This one's Xenia also others mostly Cinci, where was your Dad back then Den?

----Can't remember the name of the Chevy dealership in Xenia, but it was a serious high perf dealer. Saw my 1st 375 hp 67 Camaro there. Very plain jane car with headers and tall gearset in the trunk as delivered. I was looking for a 67 435 Corvette of which they had (I think) three so wasn't all that interested, but looked it over.....Bill S

Hey Bill. I believe that is Lang Chevrolet and I also think that is the dealership that Mike Angelo’s black L 78 Camaro was sold from. I’m pretty sure they had a performance reputation.
