Yellow Yenko Nova
This is my first post to the site, although I have lurked and learned here for a while. I have some pictures that I took at the '79 Car Craft Street Machine Nationals of a couple of Yenkos. I'll try and attach one to start with and if the current owner is known, I'd be happy to send on the picture to them. First one is a yellow tunnel rammed small block with a yellow YENKO licence plate. I can't tell what state it is from.
I'll keep looking through the pile of pictres for a couple of under hood shots of a gold 69 yenko camaro. That car was for sale for $5,800 from North Carolina at the time. That car switched me from Nova's to Camaro's. I sold my plain jane Nova and bought my Z when I returned from the show. Today I wish I would have bought the Yenko Camaro... Mike

Re: Yellow Yenko Nova
That's the car that was owned/driven around McFarland by Ron Byrd in the 80's. He drive it around without the hood all the time and it definitely had a tunnel rammed SBC.
Wish I'd have known more back then. It was a pretty hot ride. Thanks for helping to solve my prior inquiry. Blair

Re: Yellow Yenko Nova
I believe that's the deuce Ron Norman has. Wisconsin would be right, and it ran a tunnel ram for a while. Very cool, almost put a tunnel ram on mine back in the day. S.

Re: Yellow Yenko Nova
Was at the same show and have pictures of that car as well. There were two othe Yenkos there that year as well as Don Yenko himself. He was checking out a new dealer prepped Camaro from Buegler?sp Chevrolet. The Yellow Nova from ebay looked pretty much the same as it does today even then. This is not the same car. I was told that the owner of the Duece was killed in an accident and his buddies had taken the car to the CC Nationals in his honor...BKH
