Default Vintage pics, 1969 Yenko Nova

A friend sent me thses photos of a '69 Yenko Nova he owend in the early '80s. At the time, except for the hood, original sheetmetal. The bench seat had been traded out for buckets, the rear lips cut for tire clearance, and in front of the side marker lamp is a racing sticker, covering up a couple of holes (427 emblem?).

While owning it, he had the car verified by a couple of folks Here is part of the email.

<font color="red"> In the fall of 1983 I purchased a 69 Rally Green Nova (no vinyl top). Through
a telephone conversation with Bill Smith who confirmed my car as being the 1st one
to receive the 427 transplant. Bill stated to me that he had built my car and said
he remembered it well. Bill went on to give me all the details of the transformation.

Bill directed me to Yenko records holder Vince Emme. I called Vince after speaking
with Bill. Vince verified my car as being the first 427 Nova and was one of two cars
offered with Pwr Steering along with AM Radio.

It would appear that the rear panel is void of all SS or Yenko added badging....BKH
