Re: 69 427 Yenko Nova's
 

This car resides somewhere in the borders of this map. I don't know which farm yet, but I heard another account of it this weekend. I am working on it.

BTW, (trying to be politically correct as to how to word this) I think this may be one of the few Yenko cars sitting on a farm in Iowa that still retains its original tags- so I have heard.

Value? $150k+, another $80k for a resto puts it at $230k or so - which is about the market price, eh? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: 69 427 Yenko Nova's
 

So, Schonye.....

If I can find this car and turn it over to you does that mean you'd do my car for free? Hey, it is worth a try....isn't it? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

I think a documented, profesionally restored '69 Yenko Nova would sell for over $500K. A restored clone maybe $25K-$35K.

The guy at Pavillions wanted "north" of 40k for this car...

The black nova has a small block front core support. Would make a better clone with a LT1. Earl

Re: 69 427 Yenko Nova's
 

Would make a better clone if it wasn't black, and a 71. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif

Re: 69 427 Yenko Nova's
 

Phil, I think we could reach some kind of agreement on that. :grin
Tom, there's a picture of that Yenko stock car on the track, hanging on the wall in one of Gary Holub's buildings.Very cool. I have heard all the interior was dropped down an old mine shaft. years ago. just to get rid of it.

Re: 69 427 Yenko Nova's
 

I saw the picture when we visited Gary a couple of years ago. I don't doubt the mine shaft story, but not sure where the car went, although I'm sure where it isn't.

I'm here Dan. The 427 is in the car. That Black one needs the BB radiator set up. I am glad I decided to go with all BB stuff. Makes quite a difference when the hood is popped.

Re: 69 427 Yenko Nova's
 

To be honest, I have yet to see a decent Yenko Nova clone - most are decent cars with some stripes and badges thrown on, and aren't worth any more than a decent street Nova https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

$500k won't even get you a second chance, that figure was flat denied at SCR8. $1M is more like the starting point.

Re: 69 427 Yenko Nova's
 

Yea Marlin...I posted the pictures of that car in response to what a clone would bring...you guys know WAY more about these cars than I do...

Car did look nice...and got a lot of looks...mostly from the "older generation". The owner called it a "tribute car..." https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

I have heard the stories, seen the pictures and actually saw the Chevelle stock car. On our trip back from Wis. with the Yenko Vega, Mo and I stopped by to take a peek at the Chevelle. The owner was very nice, going as far as allowing Mo to check the numbers on the firewall (front clip MIA). Sad to say, no match.

Re: 69 427 Yenko Nova's
 

Tom-
Was that one in the possession of GH? If not, was the shell you saw (sans front clip) in the area of the map I posted on a farm? Just want to see if I am chasing the car you have already laid eyes on.

I am not for sure what GH has.

The car we looked would have been in that general area, as we were coming from Wis., headed to Missouri, and even though I do not remember exactly where the farm was, it was not too far out of our way. The guy who had the car was as interested in looking at our Vega as we were to see the Chevelle. It was an old farm house, with a barn and several lates '60s, early '70s cars in a field behind his house, including Camaros, a Firebird or two, maybe even a rear Olds. The sad part, the stuff he had was in very poor condition.

Re: 69 427 Yenko Nova's
 

So, back to the Yellow Yenko. Impalaman, it has been 5 days since you posted. Surely you have gone to check it out. What is the verdict? Did you get the car? Don't blame you for not posting too much info before you get the chance to check it out, but you better get on it quick or someone will beat you to it. News like this gets around faster than VD.

Impalaman..Be cafeful about what info you give out about the location of this car. Good luck with getting it. If you get it bought and decide to sell it there are many here that are interested. If the lady needs money and you hit a home run with the car it would be nice if you shared some of your rewards with her.

Re: 69 427 Yenko Nova's
 

Just a thought. Can't help but think of the tax implications of "sharing" some of the profit. One of the hazards of my profession I guess. Anyway, just for the record, if Impalaman were to purchase this car and resell it for a profit, I am sure you all know the profit is a capital gain, and is taxable income in the year received.

Example:

buys the car for 20,000

Sells the car for 50,000

"Shares" 10,000 of the profit with the current owner.

He would likely still be liable for taxes on the whole 30,000 profit, as the IRS would consider his check to the current owner as a gift. Being under $11,000, there are no gift tax implications.

How to remedy?

If he sells the car for $50,000 and wants to "share" $10,000 of the profit with the current owner, just have the new purchaser write two checks, one to him and one to the current owner. That way she is liable for her own taxes. Whatever she realizes on the sale will be capital gain to her anyway, and this is just more than she expected. Besides, as a Sr. citezen she is likely in a lower tax bracket.

I realize this whole deal may not even happen, but just wanted to make sure no one got tagged for more than their fair share of taxes. Don't believe in tax evasion, but am a huge fan of tax avoidance.

Looks to be the exact same Tribute Deuce that was here at Mecums Rockford Auction 5/27/05.
They removed the Antenna mast & added trim rings since then.
I think it sold for 25K here?..expensive trim rings. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

Re: 69 427 Yenko Nova's
 

Bad news from MI.I had a day off for a funeral.So what better to do with the rest of the day then to go look for that 69 427 Yenko Nova.Finally found someone home.The guys wife came to the door,and I asked if the person lived there,she said"yes".My heart started to race.Then I asked the big question"Does he still have the Nova?"Then my heart fell on the ground when the answer came,NO! he has a Chevelle now.He sold the Nova 2yrs. ago.I asked her if she knew who he sold it to.She said no but she could go wake her husband up he might know.I told her not to do that.So the quest starts to find a suitable 69,70,71 to make a BB street stomper.If I find out where the car went I will see if the person will register it here.
