Anyone else following the 1969 Nova maybe a Yenko thread on FB?

The Nutmeg Metallic car is a root beer color but I believe that car was sold new with an L78. It was restored by the Supercar Workshop and last I knew was in a museum in Florida. It was restored as an L78 car and as far as I know there was no documentation that it was a 427 transplant car.

I believe that the Nutmeg Nova was on this list of 37 cars transfered to the Yenko Sports Car, Company, but it was sold as a stock L78 and later converted by Warren Dernosheck at his home garage. A stinger hood was added when restored.

There has without question been L78 Novas ordered and sold by Yenko which were not on the list of the "37" cars.

As Pete suggested, since it is known that Fencil Tuffo recieved one Yellow left over 1969 Yenko Nova when they became a Yenko Deuce Dealer for 1970. It would certainly be possible that the same thing happened with Dale as they also sold Yenko Deuces.

So how could you verify for sure it’s a real 427 conversion? Only the Yenko paperwork could ?
Apparently the owner doesn’t have any docs .

The one my friend drove was definitely a 427 car according to him. He was friends of the Yenko family as there was Yenko family connection in Clarion, PA.
