Thought this one looked familiar. That was at R-M in Ypsilanti, MI, about 3 miles from my house. I looked the car for all of 3 minutes before I had to tell the R-M guy (we get along pretty well) that the motor was a restamp and the trans was from a 71 Vette. Don't remember if I looked at the rearend.
Looked nice, but definitely wasn't original drivetrain. The font on the engine stamp was wrong and the trans had the 71 Vette VIN on it. The black car in the foreground was a Cosworth Vega with like 40 miles on it. They had a 69 Corvair with 38 miles on it too. Too bad they didn't store a hi-po for all those years instead.

Sad!!
I have spoken with the original owners of this car within the past few years, they recalled taking the engine out and putting it in their '55 Chevy. A little more of the story. Two young girls, (age 18), each bought a '70 Yenko Nova new at Kidder Knoefler Chev. in Sioux City, IA. One silver and one blue, both 4 speeds with no power steering. They would drive them to work together, and park way out in the parking lot at Iowa Beef Products, even in the winter. One of their dad's used to tell her, 'your crazy for spending all that money on the monthly payment', she's not too crazy since she still has her blue Yenko Nova! M

Sorry!!
She is not single, and I have not photo of her or the car. She did provide the only '70 Yenko Nova MSO that we have, and I hope to get some car photos one of these days. M

Has anyone gotten any info from the seller of this car?? I have tried, and I know one other guy has emailed them as well, to no avail. I am curious as to where this car will show up next.
