I know of 8 '69 Yenko Novas. The ones you have listed are correct, the one in Canada belongs to a guy named Danny. There are two Lemans Blue cars found, the Clary's have one, the other one is in the Pittsburgh area, is a non-converted car, and belongs to a guy named Rob.

I do not know of a 9th car, I know Ed has a Daytona Yellow one listed on his site, but I don't know anything about it. We have done a lot of title searches for them, and know of several that were stolen, one that was recovered stripped, one that probably became a racecar, the stories go on...

Reggie's Nova (and Butternut 1967 Camaro) now reside in Missouri. As per number 9, the jury is still out on that one, but the facts seem to be pointing in the direction of being real. Always thought to be a 396 Yenko Nova, some new information has surfaced which indicates it may have been a 427 car. Whatever the case, it is a very unusual and neat car.

As per our Nova, we have begun work on it and hope to have it completed by the 2003 reunion. It is your standard Yenko Nova, SS 396 converted to 427, 4 speed w/bench seat, rubber mat, 4:10, Lemans Blue. Even though in need of a total restoration, thankfully the car retained all of its original sheet metal and trim, so it was not hard to tell how the car was equipped. When completed, it will be much the way it was when new in 1969. Documentation includes notes of interest from former owners, Vince and most important, verification from the NICB as being a Yenko/Canonsburg car. Ship date was early January. It was sold new by Van Chevrolet in Mission,KS and was in the KC area its whole life. For years the rumor mill was that it was the first Nova converted, but ?

Pete,
I thought one of the members, Kevin Hand was the custodian of Randy Miller's Former Rallye Green Nova?

Pete's right...it's a FATHOM green car that resides with a Canuck. I think Miller owned both at one time.

From a discussion we had, I'm guessing Yenkobigblocks Keith himself is the proud new owner of Reggie's Nova and 67. Congrats if it was you Keith!

Hi Kevin;
I understand that YenkoBart has a '69 Yenko Nova, but I have'nt been able to confirm which one it is, the options, trim tag data, etc....

So, Bart, how about some details??
