Anyone else following the 1969 Nova maybe a Yenko thread on FB?

There are four known cars on the 69 Yenko Nova VIN list on this site that were built the first week of January. I believe they are all documented as being 427 transplant cars. Their body numbers are 254952, 254954, 254956 and 254965. Since this cars body number is 254955 it looks like it was likely ordered by Yenko as well. The NCRS paperwork will just show which dealership the car was shipped to, not which dealership actually sold the car. If this car comes back as being shipped to Yenko, the next step would be to try to find out what dealership it was sold new through. Just because the VIN is on the list on this site doesn't mean it is a 427 transplant car.

For as long as I can remember 37 has been used as the number of 69 Yenko Novas built. I don't know where that number came from. I believe there are 25 VINS on the list on this website. It's my understanding that this VIN list is of the L78 Novas that Yenko ordered. Only a handful of these cars were 427 transplant cars. I believe all the VINS on this site are for cars built the first week of January or the second week of April. The one exception is the Nutmeg Metallic car which was built later. There are several known cars whose VIN's are on the list that were sold new as L78 cars as verified by their original owners.

Would one consider this to be a rootbeer color as well? Friend of mine test drove what he called a rootbeer colored 427 sYc Nova just a week before his draft notice came in the mail. He was going to pull the trigger on it but the notice put the ky-bosh to it!
