Those are definetly not L60's on that car. [/ QUOTE ]I think it's safe to say they're plenty bigger than the E70 14"s it would have worn out of Willow Run. I was just pointing out that they're obviously greatly oversized and not something Yenko would have likely installed and sold new like that. It was probably delivered with XTs like most 69 sYc Novas and had Cragars and bigger tires added on day 2 by the owner. I'd bet it had shock extenders in front and air shocks in the rear to get it sitting like that too.

Re: 1969 Yenko Nova
Agreed!
They might be L60-14's, but not 15's as I had a set of 15's on my first Nova - had to jack the rear end up pretty tall to keep the lips from cutting into the tires

Re: 1969 Yenko Nova
THE ONLY THING I HAD AT THE TIME, THEY LOOK GOOD THOUGH.IT DID HAVE THE BEST SHIFTING MUNCIE I'VE EVER DRIVEN. DROVE IT ONCE OTHER THAN ON AND OFF THE TRAILER. LETHAL, SCARY, DON'S ASSESSMENT AND THE INSURANCE COMPANIES ASSESSMENT WAS THE SAME, DON'T INSURE IT, WE'RE NOT GOING TO CONTINUE TO BUILD IT. THE CLUTCH WAS WORKING AFTER I DROVE IT LAST, PERFECTLY. I HEARD dAVE HAD SOME PROBLEMS, I HAD JUST PUT A HAYES CLUTCH AND BORG WARNER PRESSURE PLATE IN IT! IS IT FOR SALE AND COULD I MAKE INSTALLMENT'S, HA! SIMPLY AWESOME!KEEP IN MIND NOVA'S ARE HARD TO FIND PARTS FOR, BRIAN HENDERSON HELPED WITH CORRECT GRILL & EYEBROWS, CORRECT WHEEL COLOR PAINT AND MANY TIDBITS OF INFO. i THINK I DROVE IT MAYBE 2 MILES, THE MOST MEMORABLE MILES OF MY LIFE! MAYBE SOME DAY WE CAN RE-UNITE!
 NOTHING ELSE EVEN COMES CLOSE IMO!
