Re: 1969 Yenko Nova
[ QUOTE ]
Prior statement in an above message: "The only reason I can think of is that they did convert it to a 427 or 454 (depending on the delivery date), and then sell it less stripes and badges so their employee can get it insured and race it in the 396 class without anyone at the track knowing it was touched. Make the paperwork out saying it's a 396 for his insurance company and financing."
As to the above, is there any proof/surviving cars of this theory? I think this idea is far fetched as far as this 69 Nova is concerned. You have the original owner and now his friends saying it was a 396. Why can't that just be accepted?

I believe it is accepted that the car was indeed a 396. This is quite a shock, and it will take a bit of time for everyone to get on the same page. These cars made it onto this 'list' for some reason, we just don't know how/why!
Do any of you guys out there in P-burgh know a Tom Farr or Joseph Bongirono?
