JoeC,
Sorry I didn't respond to your post on 9/8. I didn't see it. I talked to Brian and now remember you from the supercar reunion.

Beautiful shots of the Nova's. I think that the Deuce shot has the Central badging on the left side of the trunk lid. Any ideas on that badge? That might be an Orange or Red car.

Thanks for the great pics Doug. The Hurst Nova paint scheme looks like the other Hurst cars from 68/69/70. The Deuce Nova color looks like Daytona Yellow or Hugger Orange but it is difficult to tell. Maybe you can compare the contrast to that big Chevrolet decal on the car that normally was a dark blue.
Marlin - What month was the first Yenko Deuce Nova built? Was it before the 1970 Camaro Z/28 or the 1970 LT1 Corvette? If it was that would make it the first use of the LT1 engine in a production car. Just a trivia question.

Doug,

Great photos - thanks for taking the time to post them to the board! Can't wait to see the rest of them!

Joe,

We'll have to wait for Marlin's reply on the LT-1 Nova production dates, but I can tell you that LT-1 Corvettes were being built right from the start of 1970 Corvette production (which began January 5, 1970). I believe Camaro/Firbird production began in late January/early February 1970 and I would imagine that LT-1 powered Z-28s were available right from the start too.

Regards,

Stan

Dougie-Fresh!!!
Absolutely Awesome photos!!!!!!!!

I will have to study the photo for a bit longer to try to determine the color. Does it have a cowl induction hood or a hood scoop with integrated tach? The hood looks black in the photo.

All the '70 Yenko Novas were made in three weeks, 05D, 06A and 06B.

Love the photos!!!!!

It looks like a Charles Gilchrist photo, which he still has all his negatives and shots can be purchased, he has a lot of neat stuff shot at Thompson, Dragway 42, some Quaker City. He had shots of my Biscayne and Chevelle when they were raced, and of our old altered too, great stuff.
