Belonged to Pete Simpson, out of Canada. Still in the family as far as I know.

It's one of two COPO '70 Novas that was NOT converted by YENKO.

The other one was Forest Green, and is gone.

Where is this car at now?

I believe I read some thread on here in which someone said that only four of the 1969 427 Novas had documentation about being converted from 396 to 427 cars. Some cars were definitely sold with the 396, so all of them were not converted.

So is it 100%, no questions, gospel, written in stone, incontrovertible, iron clad, beyond debate that only 2 non-Deuce LT-1's made it out the door?

I believe there was some discussion on whether this car was ever converted, followed by some litigation. Don't know the outcome, or who owns it now.

Iron clad guarantee that no other COPO Novas were produced? Never say never, but document, and verify. No more that I've heard of have passed that criteria.

A friend's father-in-law bought a 70 Nova from Van-T in Topeka, lightly used in 71. White, black top and guts, LT-1 4-speed 4.10 posi. Could have been a swap, but he swears it looked factory. Van-T sold lots of COPO's. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

Ok, does he have documents to verify, and drive line component nbrs. Especially the rear end stamp. Should have the F41 suspension package with swaybar if it's set up like a deuce. He may well have what he says, but we go back to the iron clad documentation.
