Default Re: '69 Original Yenko Nova

Tom;
I agree with you and Randy about the 'unconverted' cars, it is hard to be sure what was done at Yenko Chev. towards the end of '69. I had spoken with Randy and Dante', (he bought Randy's Fathom Green '69 Yenko Nova), about this topic a few years ago at the Pure Stock Drag Race in Michigan. We had agreed that the only way to know for sure would be to speak with some original owners of the proposed 'unconverted' cars. It is hard to know which ones Vince believes are in this category. I believe the tri-power L78 car that RowdyRat researched is not on Vinces list of the 37. It is unclear if that car is one of the 'unconverted' ones, or if it was just another L78 that was dressed up with the tri-power - maybe a demo, return, warranty situation, ect... (something like the '67 YS-060??)

RowdyRat; Do we know what color the emblems are on that car? If it was one of the YENKO SportsCars Inc. products I would think it would have white YENKO emblems. If it was a YENKO Chev. product I would think it would have the black and chrome emblems.
