We here at the sYc know of 8, including Rob Richardson's. Our Nova is Lemans blue, no vinyl top car, of course 427, 4 speed. Has the usual SS markings, hood, rear panel etc. Currently under going restoration (slow). It was sold new at Van Chevrolet, in Kansas City and seems to have remained in that area its whole life. Rumor is, may be the first one built. One of the interesting notes are the front side marker lamps. Unlike the others that I have seen that have a small marker lamp and a seperate 427 emblem in place of the original 396 marker, ours has the 396 marker replaced with a like 427 marker, we assume from a full size 427 car. Documentation includes a NICB report, verifing it as a Yenko.

Kevin or ( mc25t190 ) just wanted to let you know the original owner of your car or kinda was in my office the other day alive and well, guess who ? He is going to come by in a week or two and swap some more stories about muscle cars.Anything you want me to ask him.

all camaro, yes i would like to speak with him, whomever he is, thanks !

V,V, Cook Jr is who im speaking of. I just spent some time with him this morning and asked some questions about your car and the other Yenko cars they sold.He said your Nova was the only one they sold in 69 but did sell several small block cars.One of the very cool things was he said they sold 20+ Corvair`s and 25 or so Camaro`s.he also thought they had sold some Camaro`s prior to 69 but would try to rewind his tape he told me and let me know.
I thought it was ironic that your car was the feature car and then I see him.He is related to the Dealer here and we tend to cross paths several times of the year.He did tell me that if he knew that the car was going to be so rare he would have held out for a bigger profit the first time around ( ha ).

thanks again, the puzzle comes together. i do know mitch moore owned the car at one time. i bet old vv cooke could have held a gross profit record on a new car sale if he had held on to the yenkos!
