**** 1969 Yenko Nova ****

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Correct, the wheel as shown on the Rally Nova didn't come out til a few years later. From what the early connections tell us, these wheels on the '69 Yenko Nova were some type of aluminum wheel - we have never really been able to determine what type though.

As for it's conversion, I'm not aware of specific paperwork that followed that car around - only prior owner history. Vince is indeed the best source at this point. I believe that the car was in KY with the original owner, but then was in Laconia, IN by June 26, 1974, and was then found next to a body shop in KY by Mitch Moore (possibly along with Mick Price) much later - I don't know how it migrated back to KY. I've seen the original condition photos of when it was found, and believe it still had the 427 emblems on it (photos were returned to Joe Grom of Chevy II Only who still has them I believe). The car was restored, and traded hands a bunch of times - each owner actually making the car a little bit better along the way. After Randy and Hand, I believe Christenholz had it, then Greg Joseph, then ??. I'll see if the guy from Steve's can share his personal affiliation with the car here.
