Great seeing Bill Jenkins putting that Hemi on the trailer. Love It.

Is paperwork real to the car? What would this car be worth today? Thanks

Probably worth between a COPO Camaro and a Yenko Camaro pricing would be my guess? Camaro are usually bring more $$$ than Nova's, and this being a Yenko SOLD Jenkins built and installed motor would be worth some. But I would think a legit Yenko Camaro would still be worth more.....

Has that Nova been discussed here before ?

yes,

I think the transplant was done in the 1980s

1968 McLaren M8A Can-Am car I believe its the 430 Chevy in it

sounds good , revs nice

The bills on the Nova are dated 82... so yes, if real, cool provenance but... I don't see it adding anything like supercar status. I don't recall the asking price at MCACN.


I was trying to post the pics of the Jenkins invoice also but something is not cooperating on this end.

There was a Magazine from 69 where Joel Rosen said "The only way to fly is the 430 Can Am"
I cant find that Magazine.
Many of the top teams used Can Am Engines in M / P and Pro Stock

Attend a Can Am reunion at Road America and watch these cars hit 180 on the straight parts of the track. It's really fun and they have 20 or so running.

On this Nova, I would bring like this:
K}
AVERAGE price for '69 L78 Triple black $X amount (say $78,000 {L78 and $})
Premium for originally sold at Yenko + X amount ( $5,500)
M22 + X amount ( $2,500)
Yenko '82 ZL1 conversion + X amount ( $20,000)
Grumpy worked over ZL! + X amount ( $8,000)

So right around the $115K mark + or - I would figure???? I could be high or low and people might not agree, fine I'm ok with that.
