Anyone else following the 1969 Nova maybe a Yenko thread on FB?

Many times drag cars sat on the showroom floor in the days prior to an upcoming drag racing event. The Nova could have been loaned to Braeger (or dealer traded) to drum up hi-po muscle car sales.

Humphrey Chev in Milwaukee also sold a lot of Corvettes and performance cars. They had a Yenko franchise for 1967. Closed and razed in the early '70s.

This Nova is said to have a BV 4:10 rear and most of the Yenko ads for the 427 Nova specify 4:10 gears.

This is something I was always curious about because the 1969 SS396 Nova power team chart does not list the 4:10 gear.

1969 Camaro and Chevelle SS396 power team chart does list the 4:10 gear but not SS 396 Nova

With all the COPO and special orders that Yenko was able to get, I would think he could have got a COPO to get the 1969 Nova SS396 BV 4:10 rear.

He may have got the BV but I have not seen anything on it.
Would need to find a POP or paperwork from one of the 427 Novas that shows a BV.

Some of the Yenko sold 1969 SS396 Novas have 3:55 gears.
