Outrageous Claim or Legit Car?

[442w30]

Mopar people will pay more for a hi-po car sold from Grand Spaulding. I can see people paying more for a performance car sold at Yenko, but I wouldn't –*to me, it's all about the pedigree of the car from the factory, not the dealership. But I am not throwing money around so it's up to another enthusiast/sucker.

Here's a question, though: Why couldn't one of the 37, converted or otherwise, be an automatic? An L78 could be ordered with TH400, and a COPO Camaro could too, so just because none of the documented Yenko Nova have an auto doesn't mean this couldn't....right?

Did Yenko Chevrolet do something special during the dealer prep of their cars?

What is this fixation with any car sold by Yenko Chevrolet?

----Eye of the beholder, Lee!

We're drifting away from the main post which is real or not real. All I see here is an L78 Nova that was brought back to Yenko and offered to have an engine upgrade.

Show me paperwork through Yenko Sportscars Inc. If it was to be converted that VIN would be on a list with the others. Just because there were 37 Novas slated to be conversions, what's to say Yenko Chevrolet didn't order 37 MORE Novas that were sold off the lot, with no intent to modify them in any way?

After watching the video interesting to know power steering could have been a option on L78 cars. None the less its a cool L78. original block or not.

Agreed. The person in the video also claimed that there were only 37 L78 cars that Yenko sold. So this HAS to be one of the unconverted cars.

There is no proof Yenko only ordered 37 L78 cars, only that 37 were planned to be converted.

All of my opposing comments on FB were deleted along with the video - must have been my final statement that he should expect constructive skepticism based on his claims, and my responses are but the tip of the iceberg!!! Poof - and its all gone! That says volumes....

This Nova is nothing more than a L-78 sold by Yenko Chevrolet. There are no docs pertaining to Yenko Sports Cars Inc. This Nova is not on the list. We must remember Yenko sold Chevrolets, lots of them, Camaros, Novas, Chevelles, Impalas, and Thrucks, etc.
