Default Re: '69 Yenko Nova questions

Sounds like the typical 'Tinnell' restoration, pretty paint but....I guess there wasn't much info to rely on back then. Tinnell says in one article that "the car still had it's original paint and stripes" (?) "Rust was not a problem, but the wheel wells were cut out for slicks". Were there no stripes on the hood when found? They were not put on after the restoration. This car also had power steering according to the article. This is the only one with p/s that I have heard of, are there more? I have always wondered about the custom seat covers, Yenko Deuce door panel stickers, rallyes, fender antenna, headlight bezels ect. on this car. Did you change any of these things?

I am sure Reggie Jackson is pretty happy with it now though, it makes a good partner for his '73 Nickey Nova.

Does anyone know where this car was originally out of? Did Vince release the dealership on record? What part of Ohio? I know that there were several Ohio dealers in the Yenko Network.

Thanks for the background info,
Marlin
