Re: Local Yenko Nova?
 

Wouldn't the only real '69 Copo Novas built be a Copo 9511 equipped car w/ 4:56 or 4:88 gears?.
Is it known if any of the Yenko 'list' cars were 9511 cars?.

Adding to the '68 Copo 9737 Camaro info above, don't forget the MM Tags!.
And to confirm, all '68 9737 Camaros were shipped w/ their unique L78's in place and any 427 a transplant by Yenko (or possibly others)..

4.56, or 4.88 gears were RPO options in 68-69 on Novas. The 50 Gibb Novas in 68 were COPOs for the trans. I don't think there were any COPO Novas in 69 other than possibly police.

I'm by the dealership about once a month. A couple of years ago they had several musclecars on the lot and a yellow Yenko Camaro in the show room. The owner was busy but I talked to a salesman who told me that the Camaro was a clone. Very nice car. In June I didn't see any musclecars when I drove by.

Well aware of the '68 Copo Gibb Novas but w/ all due respect, please recheck the '69 facts as I believe you're missing this lesser known truth as everyone seems to?.
1969 model year Nova <span style="text-decoration: underline">and</span> Camaro production required Copo 9511 to get factory axle ratios beyond the 4:10 available as an RPO..
So again real '69 Copo Novas were built, the Copo 9511 equipped cars w/ 4:56 or 4:88 gears!.

No disrespect intended as I like them too but 1970 Camaro Copo 9796 rear spoiler cars are more recognized and valued as a Copo yet here silently sit these waaaaaay lesser built '69 Nova Copo 9511 drivetrain performance option cars!.

There's a 9511 equipped '69 Nova owned by a site member and I've tried to shine the light on this fact when it's popped up here a couple times in the past but for some reason it and any like it seem to be overlooked but deserve more recognition and value!.

Again is it known if any of the '69 Novas on the Yenko list were 9511 cars?.

Keith, I saw a yellow '69 Camaro w/ Yenko stripes near Clarke High School on Hiway 115 last weekend, probably the same car you're mentioning?.

Pete - interesting info and NEW to me! I would sure like to learn more about COPO 9511. Did it include any other features like an HD radiator, external oil cooler, rev limiter,, etc?

thanks!

P.S. please encourage the guy/gal with the 9511 Nova to post. Does he/she have factory documentation?

Here are some links to discussions on this topic...Chevy did away with anything deeper than 3.55 in 70 model year Novas. (except the Deuce) I guess they wanted to cut down on all those CE motors they had to provide because folks couldn't keep their right foot out of the water pump [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif[/img]

Re: Local Yenko Nova?
 

I'm no expert on the 9511 cars just think they're a cool Copo performance option that seems overlooked when a '69 Nova?.
The process and paperwork also tube stampings etc of any 9511 cars is an interesting subject too but what I'm specifically trying to point out here is the fact that any 1969 Copo 9511 Novas built more simply put is a real `69 Copo Nova!.
Also unlike 1969 A or F body 9511 cars, these may be the only `69 Copo Novas built?.

Isn't it Sully here w/ the real '69 9511 Copo Nova?.
Any others?.

Again, anyone know if any of the Yenko 'list' '69 Novas were 9511?.
And what of the A or F-Body Copo's ordered by Yenko, aren't some 9511 too also what of '69 A/F Copo's sent to other dealers?.

Sorry for the hijack!.

Re: Local Yenko Nova?
 

Interesting. Sully had a 69 Nova with a 4.56 rear gear, but I don't remember if it had a window sticker.
I see where you're coming from. Let's see where the discussion/information goes. I never say never, still not sure we're seeing the order process correctly.

Re: Local Yenko Nova?
 

O.k., I could be a bit dense, but in '69 I did not think you needed the COPO order process to put a 4.56 or 4.88 in a Nova, Camaro, Chevelle, or even the big Chevys. So what exactly was included in COPO 9511?

Re: Local Yenko Nova?
 

I think we should start a new thread about this, and would welcome any Nova paperwork from 69 with anything other than 3.55 gears on a window sticker. Build date would be great too.
Colvin's book lists BX, AND BW for 69. The only reference to COPO is for BE 4.10. There are internal differences between BE, and BV although both are 4.10. There in lies why one is COPO (BE) while the BV is not.
Now that being said, Colvin's is not always correct. Let's get some paperwork, and look at the facts, and see where it all goes. Good solid facts are the bed rock of this site. Lets get them all out there.
