1969 Yenko Nova ?

I was looking at Ed's COPO Connection site, specifically at the '69 Yenko Novas section, and noticed he lists a Daytona Yellow Yenko Nova in '69. I never knew there was a D-Yellow Yenko Nova, what's the scoop??

Marlin,
The story I have heard is that it was an unsold Yenko Chevrolet Unit which was transfered to Fencil Tufo Chevrolet/'Mr. Ed to sell in the 1970 Model year.

This may be where the 'Urban Legend' of the L72 factory Fencil-Tufo COPO Novas originated?

If the story is true, it must have been a special paint car since Daytona Yellow wasn't available on the Novas. I wonder why Yenko couldn't sell it? They sold several of the other '69 Yenko Novas, it seems the participating dealers had a little more difficulty selling them though.

Does anyone have more of the Mr Ed story, a VIN or paperwork? Could it actually be a '70 Yenko Nova? F-Tufo did receive a Sunflower Yellow 4speed Deuce, that had an interesting story behind it. If Mr. Ed recalls any significant bits of info on the yellow '69, we might be able to compare notes to rule out the possibility of it being a '70.

Stefano;
Do you recall any more of the Fencl Tufo Yenko Nova story? Body color, engine size, etc... Was it raced?

Marlin,
I do know the difference between a 1969 427 Yenko Nova and 1970 350 Yenko Deuce. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smirk.gif[/img] (approx $200,000) [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]
