I don't believe b guards were ever placed on the cars as part of the conversion by Yenko or Hurst, but they could be ordered as a dealer/customer add on.

No, not standard, nor listed on the Yenko option sheet that I've seen.

Please explain the 70 Citrus COPO Nova that is not a Yenko deuce.

You're talkin' the brother to Copo Pete's car, both sold at Central and the only two Yenko didn't get.
It's long confirmed as scrapped isn't it, you sayin' you had it at one time or it still exists?

News to me if there were others, looking forward to hearing more about the CG Central car!
Any Vins may be on the same GM Canada microfilm page as Copo Pete's car, did he get a copy of this page before Geo. and Frank stopped sending them out?

I was thinking astro blue, but it could have been FG. Mr. Madden, please give us the scoop on the car. This appears to be a new to us discovery.
