If I'm following this correctly, this is nuts.. so Gary H bought it knowing it prob wasn't and Ed C certifies it !!!?? Early in this thread someone stated "the car has no issues" did you mean you knew it never was a 427 SYC ?

Perry I stated that. As of a week ago that's what I thought. I still think that. I was tolded years ago it may or may not be a 427 it could have been a 396. I didn't care, I had no dog in the fight and still don't. I hope this answers your question. But some Questions need answers.

Hey Kim.. thanks, I certainly agree... I have no dog in this fight but this kind of reminds me of the famous supercar man from where I grew up and the games/stories there. Shame if this turns out to be a 396 car all along not that I would'nt still say

Perry...If I'm reading this right (and if I'm not, I'm sorry and the mods can please delete this post)...the last pictures posted are of a silver deuce that was "modified" to make it numbers matching. Some of the people identified in the D.H picture above were (and are) aware of what happened. No one said anything about it until they were "caught". Now they are trying to distance themselves from the perpetrators.

It would be wonderful if this hobby didn't have all the negativity and BS that seems to constantly happen.

I think that all of this stinks...but I'm glad that my priorities are in the right place (Family, faith, friends, then job and finally cars). I WILL NOT continue to post on the negativity and constant crap that is always brought up.

I am happy that I've made wonderful friends since getting back into this hobby...and that is my main focus.

I have no knowledge of what transpired with the red Yenko Nova...so I can't say anything about it.

Bruce I have tried to positive on everything but after the bashing I took and still taking. I started to fight back. They bashed mine then TOM's funny car then Tommy K. Car now the red Nova enough is enough!!! As they are finding out it works both ways.

Kim, They have nothing better to do...it's that simple. Let them do it...and ignore it.

There are more important things in life to worry about...and they can't argue that point!

So then, the car is one that simply came from Yenko Chevrolet as a 396 and is now turned into a rare SYC one, correct? Thus, the car is bogus, with certain people knowing that, correct?

I think what happened was it was restored and papered and then sold a few times as a 427 car with all the new owners duped into thinking they had a 427 Nova. That being said if it turns out to be a 396 car I believe the current owner will take the steps to correct the car and still show it as it is a #1 car just the same. 427 or 396 the current owner has nothing to hide and should not be worried about showing it.

Has anybody besides myself ever made an issue of the current #27 69 ZL-1 (ex Reggie Jackson) being a totaling fabricated/cloned Camaro with NOT ONE part except the VIN TAG having ever been part of the Original #27 (ex Chuck S and Alan Green/Dick Tutino).........and Ed Cunnen certified this !!!!!
