Default Re: Local Yenko Nova?

4.56, or 4.88 gears were RPO options in 68-69 on Novas. The 50 Gibb Novas in 68 were COPOs for the trans. I don't think there were any COPO Novas in 69 other than possibly police.

Well aware of the '68 Copo Gibb Novas but w/ all due respect, please recheck the '69 facts as I believe you're missing this lesser known truth as everyone seems to?.
1969 model year Nova <span style="text-decoration: underline">and</span> Camaro production required Copo 9511 to get factory axle ratios beyond the 4:10 available as an RPO..
So again real '69 Copo Novas were built, the Copo 9511 equipped cars w/ 4:56 or 4:88 gears!.

No disrespect intended as I like them too but 1970 Camaro Copo 9796 rear spoiler cars are more recognized and valued as a Copo yet here silently sit these waaaaaay lesser built '69 Nova Copo 9511 drivetrain performance option cars!.

There's a 9511 equipped '69 Nova owned by a site member and I've tried to shine the light on this fact when it's popped up here a couple times in the past but for some reason it and any like it seem to be overlooked but deserve more recognition and value!.

Again is it known if any of the '69 Novas on the Yenko list were 9511 cars?.

Keith, I saw a yellow '69 Camaro w/ Yenko stripes near Clarke High School on Hiway 115 last weekend, probably the same car you're mentioning?.
