One of the great muscle car finds of alltime! I'll have a nomination at MCACN. Rarer than a '69 SYC Nova and also a 427 transplant car. :-)

Got me confused here Wes! How is it rarer than a 69 sYc Nova when it is supposedly a sYc Nova?

It's a transplant car by another Supercar builder with a lower estimated production number. Hope that clears it up.

it appears to have the rear panel holes like a 427 Yenko Nova

hopefully the 427 paperwork can be found.

Someone posted that Vince E. sold his paperwork collection. Can anyone confirm that?

Nope. Still has it.

That would obviously be a 68 Harrell Chevelle.

this photo of the Funny car and Yenko Nova was posted on FB

Is this photo at Dale Chevrolet?

someone posted that it is from Braeger Chev ?

I found an old photo of Braeger and a ad from Dale 1969 advertising 1969 427s

it is early in the investigation of this car so some conflicting info is coming out.

I think it will take some time to get all the info correct , and paperwork , photos, etc

I searched for the Viking Funny car on a FC site and didn't find it but found the Dale Super Hugger run by Bernie Adams from Milwaukee, WI.

Yunker advertised 427 Yenko Camaro Chevelle and Chevy II

says they were the exclusive distributor for Yenkos

I’m here in Wauwatosa this weekend visiting my mom. So cool that this car was stashed away for so long, just one town over.
