EBay fable? fantasy or confusion...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know Ebay... but maybe there is some morsel of truth in here?
 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayIS...A%3AIT&rd=1 I don't remember Van-T in Topeka, I thought they were in KC (Mission, Kansas if I'm correct) I used to see their tags on late 60's stuff around here all the time...maybe they had an office in Topeka as well, can't remember (or I was too young/not born yet? If any of the rest is true it might be a cool project car? Maybe it's just an old grocery getter...but if it isn't? Anyway, I liked the vintage pics, and it's worth a click for that if nothing else! (IMHO) Just thought I'd toss this one out there...

68 had the TH400 COPO 396/375 Novas, 70 had the COPO LT-1 350, but there were no COPO 427 Novas built in 69...or any other year for that matter.

Re: EBay fable? fantasy or confusion...
Here it is, the illusive L89 Nova! Does anyone know the owner?

Re: EBay fable? fantasy or confusion...

Re: EBay fable? fantasy or confusion...
So, the 69 Yenko Deuce, which was a 350 right? Was that engine stock GM or Did Yenko "beef it up" ?
New territory for me! Tks, Rich

[/ QUOTE ] The 69 Yenko Novas were all transplants from SS396's as far as I know...I have not seen or heard of any proof to contradict this. Have never seen proof that ANY 427's were factory installed in Novas.
