69 Nova Big Blocks

[sYc]

Reggie's Nova (and Butternut 1967 Camaro) now reside in Missouri. As per number 9, the jury is still out on that one, but the facts seem to be pointing in the direction of being real. Always thought to be a 396 Yenko Nova, some new information has surfaced which indicates it may have been a 427 car. Whatever the case, it is a very unusual and neat car.

As per our Nova, we have begun work on it and hope to have it completed by the 2003 reunion. It is your standard Yenko Nova, SS 396 converted to 427, 4 speed w/bench seat, rubber mat, 4:10, Lemans Blue. Even though in need of a total restoration, thankfully the car retained all of its original sheet metal and trim, so it was not hard to tell how the car was equipped. When completed, it will be much the way it was when new in 1969. Documentation includes notes of interest from former owners, Vince and most important, verification from the NICB as being a Yenko/Canonsburg car. Ship date was early January. It was sold new by Van Chevrolet in Mission,KS and was in the KC area its whole life. For years the rumor mill was that it was the first Nova converted, but ?
