1969 Yenko Nova

[MikeA]

Did one the banner holders try and sell a 1969 COPO Chevelle on this site a while ago that had issues similar to the silver Deuce?

Mike,
Same owner/restorer on the Silver Deuce and the Copo Chevelle. I had the opportunity to see the Deuce in its "original" state and the low mile 307 Nova that was used for "parts" during the Deuce restoration. Lets just be honest and label cars accordingly. It looks like there is a real need to register the rare cars in general. When a buyer gets burned on a misrepresented car it hurts the hobby. It puts many of the restored cars in question. Whats real anymore for a prospective buyer? Hard to tell anymore for most people.

I spoke w/the Seller of the COPO Chevelle and he was very upfront about the restoration process employed on the car. I chose not to purchase it, but there was absolutely no attempt to deceive me.

Copo,
Unfortunately the ultimate buyer for the Black/Auto Copo Chevelle did not receive the same disclosure. That is why he told me the car went back to the seller.

Mark, I believe that info was disclosed to the buyer I believe there was other issues for the car to be returned.

John,
The buyer told me he didn't know until he saw a/c components on the firewall. Although he had been told by others their may have been issues with the car, he said he believed what the seller told him. Who do you believe anymore???

Well what a day. Me and my father went over to Brian's shop today and seen the car in person. All I can say what an awesome car.

It is a shame on what has happened with this car though. Someone was made aware of what this car was 4 years ago when they contacted us about the car and it seems whoever that was didn;t release the information that my father had given to future buyers. When the call came in back then a employee of ours answered the phone, and told my father someone is on the phone about a Yenko nova. I am going to contact him and sees what he remembers anything about the call. What is known that whoever call said they were someone who tracks down these sorts of cars and the car was being restored. After finding out that is was not a 427 asked if we were interested in buying the car back.

And the car has just kept being handed down as a conversion 427 car. Brian even should us paper work from Ed verifying the car was a 427. I would like to see where that kind of information could have come from.
