That's likely a half million dollar car when done. Would have to be some pretty insane money not to go after it. On the flip side it is unfortunate that so many people hold hostage for things like this. Really gives the hobby a black eye.

Wisconsin goes back 10 yrs. only. I'm sure if someone at the DMV wanted, they can go back and check the microfilm for past history, but that's too much like work. I was lucky in North Carolina to have someone dig back in the microfilm on my 69 Z. Cost me only $10.00.

Wow thanks for the update! I'm sure he's grateful for all the help he's got.

And I'm sure he has offers on the car. Hope to see it more as time goes on.

This Nova story is full of holes.

There are holes for Yenko 427 emblems and Yenko crest emblems , and holes for the SW tach monitor

all where you would expect to see them.

Would be nice to find 427 paperwork for it.

I told him to search the home and garage for paper work and photos

That's great. Maybe you can help the guy talk to original owner's family?

I'm not saying that it is not the car in the picture @ Brearger Chevrolet, but what makes you 100% sure of it, so I can follow. Obviously since you have been chasing the car and talking to the original owner family, you have more info than what is posted here.

Such a Kool find!

I never saw the VIN, but the body number is between two known cars. Someone said the VIN was on the list of 69 Yenko Nova's on this site.
