I can't read the receipts too well but
The Yenko receipt looks like its selling Jenkins a alu block
The Jenkins receipt looks like it is selling Yenko a complete engine

both dated 1982

I think Yenko became Sun Chevrolet in 1981

Don Yenko had Yenko Speed and Marine operating out of the old Cannonsburg building selling engines and parts after 1981

When I first read about this car, I thought of this article. I dug up the magazine, and it was from 1971. Neat to see another Black Nova with an aluminum block and Grumpy influence.

Dose the Trim tag itself look questionable?Like a repo?

Here are some shots of an original untouched 69 Nova trim tag...I don't think the one on the black car has been tampered with. wilma

There are differences in the trunk floor from year to year on the spare tire hold down area. Early cars had the hump while later had none. Early 68 Novas had the ear and actually had card board inserts to keep things from falling into the void between the trunk drop, and qtr pnl. 70s don't have the ear that I've seen although very early ones might. If this car had trunk drops replaced, the repops do not have the "ear". That would be my guess. Again, from what I see, it looks like an older restoration. FWIW
