I spoke with the owner of the Silver Yenko Nova in Chicago whose car is out of Central, and this is not his car. His car was not sold until late 1971, (like a lot of '70 Yenko Novas). He has communicted with his original owner who did not race it.

Most feel that this car is silver, but it might be Citrus Green. I will try to post a photo of a Citrus with black stripe car to compare them. (Rob; little help??)

It is very clear that the car was delievered through Cordia Chevrolet. It is also right above the Lawrence and Preston race car that was sold by Don Yenko. It looks like James Spencer was the seller of this car. Yenko also signed off on the Ed Hedrick 4-speed car. I was told Gemler wanted a 427 automatic car and was sold the Hurst demo car. I was also told they picked the car up at Yenko. That looks as if it might of happened as well with the note of pick-up on the sheet. Gemlers are from Erie PA so Cordina is likley to be in Erie. And yes, they still own the car.

Does this Cordia Chev. Camaro have 'YENKO SC' cut-outs on the quarter stripes? I can't see any, and wonder if they were covered over.

In an 1986-'88 Super Chevy mag there is a Yenko Deuce with a clear plexiglass hood scoop at the Maple Grove Super Chevy event. Any idea on who owns this car? I'm interested in the scoop

That big Yenko/Harrell style crest must have been a popular item in the 60's/70's. At the Dover Drag Strip Reunion last weekend, (Dover was a small drag strip in NY that closed around 1977), while looking through some photo scrap books, I counted 3 cars with that big crest on the door. There appeared to be no relationship to Yenko or Harrell but the crest was red, white, and blue with a name in it.

I wonder if there are any 69 Yenko Chevelle's/Nova's that were raced with dealer colors on the cars. I would love to see those cars as well..

Not sure who owns the '70 Y-Nova with the clear scoop, but I have seen photos of it. I thought it was Super Chevy - Norwalk or Indy though, to my knowledge no car has turned up with such a scoop.
