Re: 1969 Yenko Nova
Chill! It's an honest question, and worth asking - these cars are hard to document. All this chatter will only help sell the car!
- Another person to speak with is Warren D. to see if he has a file on it.
- Mitch Moore is still around, and I'm pretty sure he was involved with the find.
- Joe Grom is in Mt. Washington, KY running Chevy II Only and I'm sure he recalls the photos, 502-239-8487.
- A Nova owner from Steve's site has a personal recollection of the car, I sent him a PM to see if he's willing to contribute.
These are his comments from 2009 (note the reference to the rally wheels - maybe it was an early set of '70 Camaro wheels??)
"This car did not come with any Mags on it from Yenko. It came with the stock Nova Rally's on it and Scat Track Tires."
"I have known the car scene it was new. Know were it was bought new the guy that bought it new have drove the car and worked on it. I even know were the 427 that came in the car is and it is not in the car now."
"I have an old snap shot of the car if I can find it I will scan it and post it for you."
"But I did find it. This was taken when the car was around 2 weeks old. I could have picked it up at one time for $2500 Boy wish I had."
"This car was picked up at Yenko. It was bought through Cook Chevrolet in Louisville Ky. This is the way it came from Yenko wheels are 14's not 15's. Good old nova rally's never liked them."
"The owner pieced the car up at Yenko I do remember him saying it was the only nova there and that he had prepayed for the car at COOK and just could not what for them to go get it so he went up and got it. The rear tires were Scat Trac as I remember. Could be wrong on the name but boy there were sticky that thing would move. It was a 4speed no Carpet."
"Same car.Take a good look at your first picture. Look the the Porch see the rug hanging there. Now look at my Pic. Same rug. Those are the pic's I sent him back in the day keeping two for me. Man them pic's are old. Is he still alive last time I talked with his cousin he was sick and not doing well at all. Have not been up there in a long time."
"Ok took a look at the pic's in the guys folder not the same wheels. Like you look like ET mags or something. But still a very cool pic. I had one of the engine but have had no luck finding that one mat have sent it to him."
