Don Yenko and the IMSA American Challenge
 
Don Yenko campaigned a '75 Nova in the IMSA AC back in the 1976/77 time frame. One notable feature was it's livery - Don Painted it as a cop car, complete with the gum-machine light on top.

I've looked around on the internet for a picture of it or any other IMSA AC cars, with no luck.

I'm just wondering if anyone has run across this subject and where.

Thanks!

I found a few races where Don raced a Nova. There may be more.
In a 1977 IMSA race at Hallett Motor Racing Circuit Don Yenko finished 21st in car no.11 a Chevrolet Nova
In the 1977 250 mil Daytona Finale finished 64th in car no 11 Chevrolet Nova group AC DNF
In the 1977 100 mil Mid-Ohio finished 22nd in car no 11 Chevrolet Nova
Don also raced a Chevy Monza in some races in 1977
There is a guy on photopoint with some IMSA photos
