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

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: NovaMob03</div><div class="ubbcode-body">auction stated that Vince Emme certified the Nova and it has a build sheet? Didn't know he had gotten re-involved... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

I assume the build sheet is not very useful in documenting the 427?? Was it an L-78 to start?? Was it a bottom end transplant?? Is this car 100% a 427 conversion?? It seemed I read there was some doubt?? How did Yenko typically do the conversions?? What's the history on the car ?? Curious what Vince's report says. Maybe documented by him years ago?????

I love the car by the way... I remember my buddy's Big Block 69 Nova back in the day.. I can just imagine this beast !!


Not saying anything about this or any other specific car, but it only takes one or two auctions where the car was sold for large $$ that the car then becomes somehow legit, especially if it had been owned by a high profile collector.. I guess they figure if 'that guy' once owned it, it must be real. ??????
