Vince E. said many years ago that he felt there were 30 Yenko 427 Novas built and he had a list of 37 vins.
I believe the number 30 is good because there is info on about 25 427 Novas if you count all the new car ads, used car ads, original photos, window stickers, found cars, etc.

One Yenko ad listed four 427 Novas in one ad. One Yenko dealer was said to have 3 and other reports show the large Yenko dealers having sold at least one.

There were two cars restored as 427 cars but later found to be sold as 396 Novas. A Garnet red black top and a Fathom Green black top (not Cliff's Fathom Green 427 black top car)

In my files are 6 restored 427 Yenko Novas that have been around many years.
and 7 known 396 Novas sold by Yenko. Could be more 427 and 396 L-78 Yenko sold Novas.
The 2 ex-427 396 Novas were on the 37 list but I don't believe the other 5 L-78s were on the 37 list.

The 427 Novas sold by Yenko Chevrolet can be more difficult to document then the 427 Novas sold in the Yenko dealer network.
