'69 Yenko Nova questions

JoeC · #1 07-15-2000, 04:14 AM

Carl Dwiggins had a white Yenko Chevelle (now in Reggie's collection) with a big NOS plenum air cleaner with the duct boot bolted to the firewall. It looked odd on there but if thats what he wanted...
His restoration guy must have went nuts though.

My Yellow Z28 also has a 4 speed tranny out of someones 69 Yenko that Carl was having restored at the same time. If Dave said " Carl, I need a tranny to keep going " Carl would have him take what was around. The #'s matching 302 out of my car went into a red Z28

And yes his restoration guy did go nuts. It's pretty funny when he stars ranting about that stuff.

Anyone know of any pics of Reggie Jacksons '73 Nova on the net? I'd love to see that!

Please educate me. What is the problem with Reggie's 73 Nova ?

The only "problem" that I know of with Reggie's '73 Nickey Nova is that I don't own it!

I have yet to see a Nickey Nova (heck, I've only saw a couple of TRUE Nickey cars anyway!), and would LOVE to see some more info on the car. Isn't he out your way (on the left coast)? Have you seen his collection?
