I'll second that! I had dinner with Annie last night and we talked about this same thing. Tommy is one of the best in the hobby and travels with a pretty good crowd too. It's always a pleasure to spend time with the Pa/NJ crew.

If any of you are planning to attend VF this weekend, stop and say Hello at the sYc display. (and check out the latest in Tommy's collection just completed by the guys at the SCW!!!) You'll see for yourselves. Fantastic cars displayed by the best people in the country.

Wish I could be there....... Best of Luck guys

My Father was a salesman at Wallace Chevrolet back then and brought home the Green Yenko Nova.

Took a couple friends of mine and I to Englishtown Raceway Park in it and yes, drove it down the drag strip with the 3 of us kids in the car. What a great memory.

That was a long time ago.

Great car Tom!

Don't leave us hanging here! Tell us more: a/t or 4speed car? how long did your dad have it? more stories please - any street racing?

I guess you've heard of Frankie Johansen? He was a salesman at Wallace Chev. as well, and owned a '69 COPO Camaro racecar called the HUCKLEBERRY HOUND.

Nice, nice ride! Your Deuce sure looks fine in <font color="red">RED</font> . The auto trans definitely sets it apart too. I was surprised how many were made that way. Great story and I really like the original condition. Thanks!

That car is awesome. It was one of the first couple cars at SCR8 that I saw. Merlin and Tommy where the first guys that I meet and talked to for the first time every. What a great group of guys. I'm now looking forward to seeing his tri-power Nova once its completed. What a sweet ride that is also. Hopefully he will get some shoots and a write up of that car in the members rides section so we can all see it. Great cars and and an even better guy. It was nice to meet you at SCR8 Tommy Take care, Jesse
