Wow! 'Poor and Unfortunate', with a 'Herd of Yenko's and HiPo Novas'??? I think that's a contradiction in terms!! I think I could handle that 'condition'.

Some additional info on this car; it is one of approx. 35 Cranberry Red cars produced, 24 4speeds, 11 automatics. Today, there are currently 16 Cran Red cars located, 13 are 4speeds. This particular car was originally sold out of Wallace Chev. in Linden, NJ - a suburb of New York City. It is recognized as the 70th car produced, and was asigned Yenko Stock Number 33. The car is in the first order of 125 cars placed by Yenko, and is one of of at least 6 '70 Yenko Novas sold out of Wallace. The car was a street racer in it's early days, and was purchased by a local business owner in the late '70's or early '80's. The business owner relocated to South Dakota quite some time ago. A few years ago, after a repaint/restripe, the owner put the car on a friends car lot to help him get some publicity. The owner was not really pushing to sell the car, and he ended up keeping it for another year or so. The car was then consigned to Mecum Auctions in Norther Illinois, and the car was 'finished up' by a local shop. An Iowa collector purchased the car at the next Mecum auction, he traded it for another '70 Yenko Nova, and it ended up at Duffy's in Iowa. A buyer came in with something to trade, and ended up with this car in the deal. He took the car to Barrett-Jackson a few months later, and Jim spied it!!

Overall, it looks like a nice car and a lot of fun.

Feel free to ask any questions.
