Re: Welcome
 

I spoke with the owner of the Silver Yenko Nova in Chicago whose car is out of Central, and this is not his car. His car was not sold until late 1971, (like a lot of '70 Yenko Novas). He has communicted with his original owner who did not race it.

Most feel that this car is silver, but it might be Citrus Green. I will try to post a photo of a Citrus with black stripe car to compare them. (Rob; little help??)

It is very clear that the car was delievered through Cordia Chevrolet. It is also right above the Lawrence and Preston race car that was sold by Don Yenko. It looks like James Spencer was the seller of this car. Yenko also signed off on the Ed Hedrick 4-speed car. I was told Gemler wanted a 427 automatic car and was sold the Hurst demo car. I was also told they picked the car up at Yenko. That looks as if it might of happened as well with the note of pick-up on the sheet. Gemlers are from Erie PA so Cordina is likley to be in Erie. And yes, they still own the car.

Re: Welcome
 

Does this Cordia Chev. Camaro have 'YENKO SC' cut-outs on the quarter stripes? I can't see any, and wonder if they were covered over.

Re: Welcome
 

In an 1986-'88 Super Chevy mag there is a Yenko Deuce with a clear plexiglass hood scoop at the Maple Grove Super Chevy event. Any idea on who owns this car? I'm interested in the scoop

I remember seeing the gembler car out of erie pa running at thompson drag raceway.Both cars ran real good and back then the stands where packed,boy those were the days.

Re: Welcome
 

That big Yenko/Harrell style crest must have been a popular item in the 60's/70's. At the Dover Drag Strip Reunion last weekend, (Dover was a small drag strip in NY that closed around 1977), while looking through some photo scrap books, I counted 3 cars with that big crest on the door. There appeared to be no relationship to Yenko or Harrell but the crest was red, white, and blue with a name in it.

Re: Welcome
 

I wonder if there are any 69 Yenko Chevelle's/Nova's that were raced with dealer colors on the cars. I would love to see those cars as well..

Re: Welcome
 

Not sure who owns the '70 Y-Nova with the clear scoop, but I have seen photos of it. I thought it was Super Chevy - Norwalk or Indy though, to my knowledge no car has turned up with such a scoop.

Rob;
Thanks for the help with the photo!


I wanted to show that the Central Chev. Race Nova might be a Citrus Green color. If you can imagine this photo in black & white, and compare it to Doug's photo is it possible the Central car was Citrus?

Just a theory,
Marlin

Nice job!
This makes for a better comparison,

Re: Welcome
 

I installed a "page splitting" hack, so now anything with over 20 posts get multiple pages...this will make threads such as this one load LOTS faster.

Re: Welcome
 

Great idea on the splitter.

Tough call on the color scheme. This thread is getting very long to load, but its worth the wait..

Re: Welcome
 

Great job with the photographs... Some really good shots posted so far!

Marlin,

You should have given me a call yesterday when you and Tom K. stopped in at Wayne's, I would have met you guys over there. Wayne called me yesterday and told me that he is doing some detail work on the car (I guess to prep it for Chicago) so I'm going to swing by tonight and take a look at it.

By the way, make sure to put me on the list for your newsletter (what took you so long to do one)! https://www.yenko.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/wink.gif

Regards,

Stan

Re: Welcome
 

Stanner;
Sorry about Wayne's, I thought you knew about it because Wayne mentioned that he had talked to you about the TCS stuff!
My newsletter thing has been kicking around for about 3 years now, but I have been busy working on this Circus Wagon-Nova!

JoeC,
Sorry I didn't respond to your post on 9/8. I didn't see it. I talked to Brian and now remember you from the supercar reunion.

Re: Welcome
 

Last spoke with one of the Gemler brothers about ten years ago,at that time the car had already been parked for some time. Wanting to go quicker they built a pro stock Vega and I don't recall that the Camaro was ever cut on too much. Yes the Yenko/SC script has been covered at the quarters but is untouched on hood & headrests.

After emailing the photographer of these racing Yenko pic's, he recalled the Yenko Nova as 'sort of a gun-metal gray', so I guess this concludes that the car is indeed Cortez Silver.

I think I know where all of the Cortez Silver 4-speed Yenko Novas went, but I do not know where 6 out of the 8 Silver automatic's went. Therefore, Doug is probably correct that this was an automatic car, which explains the decal and the racing class. We'll keep looking!!

Doug;
What happened to the original pic's you posted here of the Yenko cars?? Did they get wiped out from a hosting sight?
