Re: 1969 Yenko Nova
Not starting anything. And I did post a reply and it disappeared. I will say once again. If the oringal owners initials are CD then that is the car I am talking about. This car has been brought up to us numerous times. People asking if it is indeed a "Yenko Super Car", witch it is not. The car was bought brand new from Yenko Chevy by my uncle but was titled under my grandfathers name.

Re: 1969 Yenko Nova
I'm not exactly sure of the horsepower. But it was a 396. I will have to ask my father he knows for sure. They blew the engine in the car I believe within the first 2 weeks of owning the car. I believe it sucked a valve. They called Yenko Chevy and explained to them that they had put headers,4:88 gears and slicks on the car. They told him to put the street tires back on and tow it in. They picked the car back up with a total bill of $2 and some odd change for the oil.
edit Also forgot to mention it was replace with another 396 engine. I'm pretty sure the heads were also replaced. I remember him say they only reused the intake.

Re: 1969 Yenko Nova
My $0.02 is Brian has been VERY careful to clarify that his statements pertain only to the car that his uncle purchased and was first titled in his grandfather's name. No one has yet confirmed whether the two cars discussed are in fact one and the same.

Re: 1969 Yenko Nova
Do you recall who has been contacting you about the car?

[ QUOTE ] And I did post a reply and it disappeared. [/ QUOTE ] You're paranoid...everything that's ever been there is there... [/ QUOTE ] I may have not clicked both post buttons then, my bad. And again I would like to stress that I am not 100% sure that this is the car. Like I said though if my grandfathers name was on the title of this car then it was just a plain ol BB nova. I know my father has some pictures of it around somewhere, I'm goin to see if i can get my hands on them and get them on here.
