Default Re: yenko 69 Nova Big Blocks

Given the hostile direction the post about my car was going, I felt I best take a breath and walk away from saying something I would regret later. I at least think I have done nothing but help this hobby. I have been there from the start. Tom and I talked at lenght about this before most of you ever even knew Tom. We have never missed a reunion and have brought out real and interesting new cars both personal, family owned and customers owned. We have shared volumes of information at every one. The whole memorabilia area was started by Super Car Workshop and has grown into an invaluable asset to the show. We have never ever charged a fee for a Yenko VIN number. We helped start the Supercar Registry area at the new York US 30 show. By all accounts it was a great success. So if you feel that I have a reputation that is less than above board, thats fine by me Tim. As for the Nova it is a car that has an interesting history that is special for it. Tom never compared it to a classic Yenko/SC Nova. It is a Yenko Nova SS with a 427 L/88 done by none other than Warren himself. Tom feels that the car is special because of the people involved in the build up. I think he would feel the same for any other car with this distinction. I do consider Tom a close friend, but not so close he would lie about a car to please me. He never tried to put a price on the car. What it is worth is different to everyone. This would seem to be the bottom line so to speak on the whole topic. Mike you priced out the car in your post. I have been asked to sell the car many times since I bought it. I never priced the car. I happen to like it, it is a tough car. Yenko Nova SS cars are few and far between. All seem to have an interesting past. So does this car. What else needs to be said?...BKH
