I think Grumpy had even said this (per the bio book someone wrote). The Nova wsa better for Drag Racing, but the Chevy guys wanted him to run Camaros for PR reasons. He said the long nose on the Camaro wasn't exactly the hot set-up, and that the overhang behind the wheels on the Nova made it a better drag chassis.

Thanks for the info. What are the production numbers of each, 427 Novas vs. Deuce Novas?

[mockingbird812]

36ish for '69s
177 (counting 2 that did not go thru YENKO dealership) for '70

Thanks Sam. Anyone on here have the 427 ones?

[WILMASBOYL78]

I think Tom Clary had a Lemans Blue 69 427 car awhile back...not sure where that ended up. I have never seen another one except in ads or photos...

Of the reported 36 427 cars it has never been made clear to me how many were converted. I thought about half.

Tom sold his last year and there is on in Kevin Suydam's collection I believe, and there is one here in Iowa.

[69hurstSC]

Yep, Kevin still has his. What about the Red Vinyl top car that was in collection in Iowa? I belive that fella also owned one color each of the 69 Yenko Camaros.

Anyone know anything about that silver LT1 car without the Yenko stripes? I think it was a Canadian car.
