69 Yenko 427 Nova Question

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

In speaking with Greg Joseph a few weeks ago regarding this particular car, he apparently was misquoted by the magazine when they claimed that he thought the car to be a COPO 427. The Otis 'crew' felt that the car was a COPO 396/375hp non-SS car. They felt that the broadcast sheet should have had a designator for the SS package, (RPOZ26 or Z27 I believe). This broadcast sheet did not have such a code, and when the car was found it did not have it's entire SS ornaments. The final result is that they felt the car was a non-SS L78 car, which could only be explained by being a COPO. They did not feel that it was a COPO 427 car, the magazines were much more eager to make that claim and print it under someone elses name!

It is one of the few cars remaining out of approximately 30-37 produced by Yenko in '69.

Wish I coud find one!!
