i think the red 69 nova in the background would take top dollar, only 7 left. Maybe i should attend and overnight my #13 cortez silver ZL1 and the 69 Yenko Nova, oh yeah thats right no one overnights cars, and people thought these cars were going down????

[442w30]

There was no Yenko there when I was there.

Kevin, there are eight 69 Yenko Novas remaining, along with a later conversion car, not 7!

Marlin, which is the 8th 427 nova? i thought Richardson's was just a 396 tri-power nova.

Just..., We are talikng a 1969 L-78 Nova, complete with 3 deuces and other goodies, from Yenko Chevrolet. IMO, a Yenko SC Nova.

Kevin, 'Just' a 396 Nova? This particular Nova was a modified sYc product, with paperwork, on Vince's list, etc... I believe that Don himself remembered the car, and described it to some folks before he died. Some of the other 7 are also reportedly 'just' 396 cars, amazing what prior owners of those cars remember - and how they all get restored as 427 conversions!

The 396 Harrell Tuned '68 Novas are still Harrell cars right?

Marlin, I find it kind of interesting when I look at the exterior colors and options of the 9 Yenko Novas known to exist. 2 garnet red, 2 lemans blue, 2 rallye green, 2 fathom green and Brian's special order paint car. And, some with vinyl tops, some without, some L-78s, some transplanted 427s. A nice mixture of colors and options.

Tom, since you have seen the info on my car being a 9737 COPO/Yenko dealer traded from Yenko Chevrolet. How do you think it stands up with these Novas?

What info would that be? Even though I am not doubting it to be a non-converted Yenko, I have not seen any concrete proof. And, as with the Gibb Novas, I would consider any such car a supercar. But several folks, including some of your associates, do not consider non-converted cars Yenko SCs. Case in point is Brian Henderson's Nova as well as Rob Richardson's car.

As per "stands up", I am assuming price. Which, the '69 Yenko Novas seem to be in a league of their own, with the last one to change hands for $275,000.00+.
