I can't read the receipts too well but
The Yenko receipt looks like its selling Jenkins a alu block
The Jenkins receipt looks like it is selling Yenko a complete engine

both dated 1982

I think Yenko became Sun Chevrolet in 1981

Don Yenko had Yenko Speed and Marine operating out of the old Cannonsburg building selling engines and parts after 1981

When I first read about this car, I thought of this article. I dug up the magazine, and it was from 1971. Neat to see another Black Nova with an aluminum block and Grumpy influence.

Dose the Trim tag itself look questionable?Like a repo?

Re: ebay 1969 nova yenko/ grumpy car????
 

Here are some shots of an original untouched 69 Nova trim tag...I don't think the one on the black car has been tampered with. wilma

i have an 69 l78 car,triple black,white double pinstripe,2 piece rocker trim with very nice original paint with zero panel replacement. my car is also built 04C, my vin is 477815. it has the squared off edges of the trunk floor. a good friend of mine bought my car in 72 from the original owner,so i know mine is correct

Re: ebay 1969 nova yenko/ grumpy car????
 

There are differences in the trunk floor from year to year on the spare tire hold down area. Early cars had the hump while later had none. Early 68 Novas had the ear and actually had card board inserts to keep things from falling into the void between the trunk drop, and qtr pnl. 70s don't have the ear that I've seen although very early ones might. If this car had trunk drops replaced, the repops do not have the "ear". That would be my guess. Again, from what I see, it looks like an older restoration. FWIW
