1969 Yenko Nova Clone

[rickp]

This car cost a whole lot more than $16,500. I don't think the correct 427, 12 bolt rear and muncie trans in this car could be had for $16,500. I appreciate most concerns about clone cars. I just wanted some opinions without anyone getting their feathers ruffled about clones. I was into correct numbers, etc. long before most were even talking about such things. Probably 1971 or 72 when I had my first 1969 L-78 Nova with a factory M-22. Just to show where I'm coming from, I have had my current L-34, 1969 Nova since October 1981 and still have not restored the car, because I know I will probably never find the original 396. And if I did it would never measure up to the 1969 L-78 Nova I had in the early 70's. I am seriously thinking about restoring it in the near future. Of course the 1971 L-48 (350) motor it currently has will be replaced with a big block.

Thanks for listening, Rick

In a way, the poor quality of the clones is a good thing, because most people are knowledgeable enough to spot them. If the clones get really good, then some people will get duped.

Rick, don't you have a '69 RG, L78 with alum heads, buckets, console, gauges, w/ v/t Nova?

What? Barret Jackson is hardly the barometer of the clone world!

[427rcode]

then why are all the clones at barret bringing the big money
so that might be the barometer.if you cant get the real thing then i guess the clones are the next best thing.check the sales there and you will see the prices of the clones.they all soldfor record numbers.when they go down then you can say its hardly the barometer.real cars that are in bad shape get all themoney there.

I was referring to Barret Jackson as more of a social event for people with more dollars then sense - can you say 'silly yellow jacket'
