Outrageous Claim or Legit Car?

[Mr70]

Thanks for bringing this to our attention Wes.
Personally I would've done a heck of a lot more research before displaying it to the world so soon & the way he did.
He sure is defensive on Fbook this morning,and has deleted the majority of the last two days comments that went against anything near what he wants to believe.Marlin & others were very cordial & professional,yet now their comments are gone.
It's a nice 1969 L-78 Rally Green Nova with a CE block,TH400 & 3.55 rear,but he sure refuses to see even that.
He's too close to this car as he did just buy it and can't see the forest for the trees.

VIN 11427W429738

At least here he can't delete every comment that goes against his agenda.

All I can say is that Matthew McConaughey guy finds some cool cars.

He doesn't find most of them, the owners or owners friends often time contact him though he does write some good and interesting stories. He is a good writer/videographer and makes what might otherwise be a boring read much more interesting though sometimes they are a little stretched and not completely factual (black LS6). Likely in the interest of selling magazines articles or the car itself so I can understand. I have known about some of the cars he 'found' and knew about them years before he 'found' them. I guess it could be like my recent Yenko 'find'. I thought I was the only one to see the car in many years when in fact there were several people who had laid eyes on it in recent years.

He is also a member here and has been since 2010.

What a Kool L78 Nova. Of course it has "extra" desirability and marketability because of its direct connection to Don Yenko and Yenko Chevrolet.

I'd have very little interest in this car if it had been sold out of some obscure dealership, but with the Yenko connection......I wouldn't mind having and restoring it. Not everyone can afford a $xxx,xxx.00 L72 Yenko Super Car. The documentation and fact this it was in the custody of the original owner up to this point adds value too.

I for one would very much like to see the car as pulled out of the garage and talk to the original owner at MCACN X. I hope Bashton extends an invite!

I agree. We finished up a Nickey sold L35 69SS 396 Chevelle for a local (big) farmer. People think it's pretty cool that it was sold by Nickey. Especially the old timers who remember the cool ads on WLS.

Did anyone watch the video with the original owner ? Seemed like the interviewer was leading the owner to say that it was to be converted ....The original owner also said the engine was using oil & changed under warranty...

What's the difference between this RG Yenko sold Nova and the NFM special paint W482561 Yenko sold Nova that was added to 'the list'?
