I ran across this photo recently and there is a 69 aparently Dark Green Nova with White roof and white stripe. Is this a known car? Looks to have a remote mirror and the Yenko crest on the fender.

Ball park guess on the year the picture was taken?

Appears to be late 70's early 80's.

It would be an Awesome looking combo, are there any cars matching the description on Yenko INV sheets?

Nothing better than seeing vintage pictures of orginal cars.

Things get changed around sometimes. There was a sunflower yellow deuce with a black V. top out there. And there was at least one ralley green Yenko Camaro sold with out stripes.

Never say never, but you gotta prove it.

Were there any Dark Green 69 Yenko Novas built?

Re: Unknown 69 Yenko Nova?
 
Fathom green. Yes. That doesn't really look like fathom green, but hard to tell in those old pics. Other would have to be ralley green, and that's not it.

Re: Unknown 69 Yenko Nova?
 
Having messed with many old pictures I believe the color to be dark green.

Correct...as the grass in the background is a light green!

Maybe Dusk Blue?? With the trunk lid up it looks like dark blue.

The roof also looks pink! I don't think the car was any shade of blue in real life. I agree with those above saying dark green.

The unique features are the white roof and what appears to be a remote mirror.

Time line of late 70's early 80's is interesting. The striping would have had to happen before the stripe kits sold out if they ordered them from the Yenko catalog and this is an early clone. I think the deuce stripes were out mid 70's.

Does anyone else see verticle lines where the fender gills should be?

Looks maybe like one of those red Yenko Tuned stickers in the quarter window.

I've been given chase to a Lemans Blue car w/ a black vinyl top.

Re: Unknown 69 Yenko Nova?
 
May not be the same one, but there's a guy in your area that has a clone claiming it to be real. FWIW

Back in around 83 I saw an ad for a dark green 69 Yenko Nova in the Pittsburgh Press classifieds. Ad stated it was rusty but one of 37 built. Never followed up on the ad.

firstgenaddict 02-03-2016 04:20 PM

Re: Unknown 69 Yenko Nova?
 
The photo was not of the Nova it was of a 33-34 Ford, the man in the picture was wearing clothing of the late 70's early 80's plus the Ford had big spoke chrome wire wheels.. I want to saw the location was OH, KY area.

Found a few more 69 Yenko Nova ads and thought this may be a better thread to post and discuss these cars.
Included first are the two ads posted in the other Nova thread plus four more new ones too.
Last one's the best and Yenko's own dealer ad...w/<span style="font-weight: bold"> <span style="text-decoration: underline">4</span></span> x '69 427 Novas!

I believe you're correct as this seemed to be what other info I found suggested when I posted the ad.
Where are things at w/ colors of '69 Yenko 427 Novas?
