Re: Visible progress!
Looking good! What kind of shape was it in when found? Had it been kept indoors? Dan [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/

Re: Visible progress!
Hey, we're just following the General! Whitewalls were the 'in' thing for Novas back in the day, and they are today too - people just haven't realized it yet [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Visible progress!
Is there documentation with the Yenko 427 Nova? I am curious if the Yenko window sticker was similar to the COPO Yenkos and/or if Yenko stated that he did a transpant.

Re: Visible progress!
Without trying to start a spittin match here, Were the 69 Yenko novas sold with white stripe tires after the conversion. I'm sure they showed up from the factory with them on, but Did they leave Canonsburg with them on? Also I believe at least one was sold with Atlas/ET rims on it. Schonye

Re: Visible progress!
Yenko generally used the same tires the car was delivered with, even if the wheels were changed. This is why deuces were sold with whitestripes even after the XT wheels were taken off and the Magnum 500s were added. Unless the customer was to specifically request (and pay for) a new set of tires, You got what the car was delivered with. So the answer to your question is yes, they did leave Yenko with whitestripes after the conversion. Somewhere i even have a pic of a 69 427 Nova loaded on Yenko's transporter with no hubcap XT wheels, and whitestripe tires. THe car was already converted, striped and ready for delivery. The COPO Camaros and Chevelles came with white lettered goodyears right off the truck from Chevrolet, otherwise they'd likely have had whitestripes too. I agree with BKH, nothing looks more "right" than whitestripes on a Nova! By the way, it looks like thats gonna be one sweet car guys... can't wait to see it at SCR7... I guess you better go get to workin' on it! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
