If the VIN is on the list and it was sold through one of the Yenko network dealerships there's a good chance it was a 427 transplant car. One of my friends told me a story several years ago about a 427 Nova one of his friends bought new at Gates Chevrolet. Apparently his friend had to work late the day the car came in so his friend arranged for him to pick it up at the dealership and bring it to his place of work. My friend said that was the fastest car he had ever driven at the time. I asked him if it was a Yenko Nova and he said it wasn't. He remembered it as being blue and not having any stripes. I always assumed it was a Yenko that was delivered without stripes. Gates did receive a LeMans Blue Yenko Nova with a 427 transplant according to the VIN list.
