Default Yenko Nova

Question of the day....
My brother lives in KY and was talking to a guy at work. This guys family had a Ford dealership when he was growing up. He told my brother about a Yenko Nova they had on the Used car lot. Said it sold new from Stevens Chevrolet in LaCenter KY. Any record of such a car? Dont know color, trans or anything...just wondering how hard we need to look. Guy told my brother it was in a boneyard....
Thanks
Tas

Tas,

Do they remember any details about the car? I am not sure Stevens Chevrolet was a participating Yenko dealer. The only dealer I have listed in Kentucky is V.V. Cooke, in Louisville.

I did two title searches in Kentucky for the V.V. Cooke Deuces. I received information on one car and was able to contact the last owner (luckily she still uses her maiden name). She told me the Nova was totaled in 1986+/- [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] and the car was taken to her brotherís farm. She could not tell me if the car was still there because apparently she does not talk to her brother! I tired to contact the brother but could not find a phone number.

These KY Deuces were a long shot, I had the VIN's, MikeA got the title work - the cars? Who knows now, the title work was pretty old, not impossible, but pretty old. Same for Indiana, NC, IL, etc....

Thanks Sam, I was at the beach all week though - no Yenkos to be found and no trip to Slick Nicks this year [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img]

I'm hoping to make the Vargo show, it's later than normal this year so it might just be possible.
