Default Lost 1969 Yenko Nova

Hello all. In 1969 or 1970 my father bought a cranberry red yenko with a black vinyl top. The dealership was in Youngstown Ohio or near it. Long story short the car was sold when I was born. Sold in Youngstown Ohio. 427 was removed by new owner and nova sold. Im looking for that car
Dad took stickers off because people were trying to steal it. Emblems would have been off also yenko stickers. Someone unknowingly has a yenko. Did dealership keep sales records back then im looking for the vin any help is good. Thanks Den

If you have a VIN, the known Yenko Nova delivery list may have it.?

Wow Yenko Nova story and welcome aboard!
The Youngstown dealer would likely be Marve Minneman, did your father buy it new or used?
What year did he sell it also what was your phone # then as it may help finding any old ads?
There's a bunch of Nova ads in these two threads you can cruise including the two below that likely aren't it but worth going through also the registry here may offer clues too.

A lot of years have gone by but best of luck backtracking and hope you find it!

Guys thank you. I am going to try to find it or build one like it. I want to Cruz with dad. He is 74 now and time is precious thanks. Also he bought it new. Also for sure it was a yenko. White stripes which he took off. To avoid theft. Man I just want to see the expression on his face. Its not the money it is the memories

I know who he sold the car to. George Getsey. Most likely spelled it wrong. George was a drag racer and took the 427 out but the trail stops cold there. I dont know who he sold the body to. I know dad put a Hurst shifter in it. Said the Muncie was crap and he felt it was to thin and may break. Said the car was fast as hell light to light
