Ugh! Those rear wheels! Why would someone mix 17s and 15s?!?!

I hope its real. Appears to be nice paperwork.

Has the Yenko crest ink stamp in the P-o-P common for this era?

It's not on the list because when purchased it, it was &quot;just&quot; ( [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img] ) a L78 car. Looks like it was 13 years later when it was brought back to Yenko and had a Jenkins prepped block installed if that paperwork is correct.

I would assume (pending any other docs or correct docs) this would be like someone buying a car at Baldwin Chevrolet and bringing it back 13 years later and converting it at Motion. Would not make it a Badlwin-Motion in the true sense of the word, but a Motion Modified car. Kinda like that Motion ZL-X Z-28?

It is however a really cool ol car, in black no less with the seemingly real docs to back it up.I sure would dive it!

Yeah, I would &quot;drive&quot; it too... at least, until I lost my licence. Nice!

Some good history and docs look legit. I agree, the wheels and several other parts of the restoration don't quite do it full justice. Hopefully the cars has some older pics to help balance out some of the current parts choices.

Triple Black Nova with Cragars is a pretty killer look!

The core support looks weird. I do not remember the big hole on the left side on a factory big block Nova. Any observations of the trim tag and the rivets holding it? I might be mistaken but to me the rivets look solid in the middle.

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

A large hole on the left side of the core support indicates that the support is from a Nova with a SB &amp; AC. This application has the larger opening for the radiator like the BB versions, but no weld nut, no holes on top for the flapper, and extra holes for the AC lines.
