Spoke with L.Shelley today, he was most helpful with the history of this car. It turns out he sold the car to one of the people listed on the title, so it is one in the same.

He could not confirm that it was or was not a YENKO since he did not purchase it new, only remembered that it had an emblem and some door panel stickers - both items available through the catalog. He initially thought it was a HARRELL car, as the emblem looked similar from across a parking lot. He sold it at his car lot sometime in '76.

Thanks again for the contact,

Glad to be of what little help I could.

Has this car been found and you were trying to do research on it? Larry seems to think the old car is still in someone's backyard here in NorthWest Arkansas.

If you need me to, I will be glad to make a road trip to see if I can find it. I drive between here and Ft. Smith quite often and a few extra stops would not hurt.

This car is definitely found, and is in the New England area now.

From talking with Larry, I would conclude that this car was originally sold out of Peck Chev, in Little Rock, AR. This makes the second car found from there, and there is usually at least 3 Yenko Novas sold from any one dealer. This theory says that there should be one more in the area, (?). There were also two confirmed from R&S Chev, in Joplin, with a theory-third car. None of these have been found either!

There could very well be another one hanging around, keep searching!!
Thanks,
Marlin
