Default Re: Yenko Nova question

i feel very fortunate to have located one. i'll have to look at the title, it was reassigned to me. i do not know but where three more are, the rest i don't know. the ones i know whereabouts of are in ca., wash., tenn., and mine in nc. carl dwiggins sold a solid rallye green 69 sYc 10 years ago and i could find out who he sold his to as i see him weekly. i am sorry randy miller sold the first one he had to someone in canada. what a neat car!by the way it was fathom green with a vinyl top.

I frequent a few of the local cruise nights. I was talking Deuces with a few friends, as we recently purchased some parts from a guy who owns a Rally Green Deuce. He was at the Dupage County fair grounds selling some of his take offs. Nice guy, was also into bikes and lives in the Western Suburbs.

I recognized his Deuce in the "Nova" magazine and was telling the Guys who had cleaned out his parts collection ,that was his Deuce.

Anyway, some one from the crowd steps forward and says," I have a Yenko Nova". Yeah right I say under my breath. Where is it ,I politly ask? He points , "right over there".

Over there, is the parking lot of a McDonald's.
We walk over and admire a "done", Yenko Nova. Of Course ,I have to be the Jerk and ask, "is it real?" He says yeah, it's real, waits a couple of minutes while we scratch our heads and then drives off into the night.

Never had a chance to ask his name. I was told he was the lone rider

This Yenko looked just like yours Kevin, and that is why I am currious.

Whomever he is, he must of laughed all the way home, just by the expression on our faces ,Knowing what he was driving.

Never saw it again.

Was this your Yenko?

If I remember right Gary Dyer from Illinois also owned a 1969 Yenko Nova before he sold off his collection.

It was just this past summer in the Western Suburbs of Illinois at the Roselle Cruise on a Friday night.
The owner /driver had dark hair clean cut(unlike some of you other Super Car Guys).
About 5'8" trim, medium build probably early 40s-ish. Wore jeans and a tan Windbreaker.
The Yenko Nova motor I picked-up was to have come out of a Yenko Nova of this description, but I didn't have it then.
I have been trying to locate this individual.
I may be a bit off on some of the info. as one of the Guys I was with said the Yenko was blue,(and he is color blind) so I could be wrong.
