I went to look at this car in I believe 1984, near Granville, Ohio. The car was advertised in a regional auto trader magazine called "Roundup". The car was in "rode hard....put up wet" condition and as I remember had a '66 casting big block. I called Vince Emme and was told this was the first Yenko Nova. The story was it was a 396 car and the motor had been stolen so it was decided to put a 427 in it and the Yenko Nova concept was born. I was looking for a Copo Camaro and decided to pass. I called Carl Dwiggins who then bought the car and restored it and later sold it to a collector in South Carolina and then I heard it went to Reggie. I remember Carl telling me the guy wouldn't budge a bit off the $5500. price. This is one of my 'big fish" that got away regrets.

Hello copo69, I remember you had your heart set on a 69
Camaro. Thanks to your help the car ended up in good hands
when I transferred it to Carl.

Welcome to the site. Was I right about the year? I remember coming home and debating about buying the Nova and then deciding I really wanted a Camaro. I got the Camaro a few months later...in Ohio.
