Default Re: 1969 Yenkos up for auction...seized by US Mars

The GOOD deal on the Yenko Nova may seem a bit different if you had a proper inspection. Many major components and not just bolt ons where incorrect. Just on the body alone, the non 69 hood and decklid, the incorrect small block core support, and incorrect radiator and the 1972 quarter panels are problems to me. Tinted glass is incorrect. 100% of the wheel and tire combination was incorrect for a Yenko Nova as well. There was something wrong with the rear suspension as the springs were digging into the frame rails. The special Nova heavy washers at the firewall frame bushing position where missing, and that will kick the sheetmetal all over the place. 1970 and up headlight buckets to the incorrect base interior Nova dome lamp bezel and 1971 steering box. This was just the tip of that iceberg... All of these things are correctable, but it is not a top shelf car..BKH
