I think we have all seen the implications of assuming a car is something without docs and doing our due diligence in terms of owner history. I don't know this car either way but I would not assume this car is anything until its proven. This happened with another 69 alleged Yenko Nova and it didn't fare so well. Proceed with caution.
If the car pans out to be a 427 SYC, wow, what a find. Docs and or original owner proof will quiet the skeptics. So far it looks compelling but I wouldn't assume. |

69Hurstsc seems to know about the car, if its the same one he could be enormously helpful.

Owner highlighted the VIN on the list in his Nova Facebook post but it seems to have since been removed.

I saw the vin post too. Wish I would have screen shot it. Yes, the post on the Nova Community disappeared.

There is a post in the FB Yenko group.

What is known about the status of the original (transplanted) drivetrain other than the assumed original )or is that a transplant too?) BV rear? Would the transplanted 427 have any identification on the front pad?

Owner had posted it has a NOM 396 in there now, I don't recall if he had figured out if the heads were original or not.
I recall seeing a BV code in one of his pics. |

On the transplant cars, Yenko normally swapped out the 396 short block for a 427 short block. They didn't stamp the vin, or any numbers on the 427 block. |

Fair question, Stefano. It's one I've been working on ironing down the hard data on. So far my research is pointing towards a Funny Car meet at Great Lakes Dragway. The Viking Camaro was out of Illinois and these cars would be staged at local dealerships to drum up business. The best educated guess is the Camaro was either dealer traded or lent to Braeger for marketing purposes. I've got a note in with the curator of the Dale Chev documents owner. If the car was traded to Braeger it should be in the paperwork. The last we spoke he had 30 boxes of invoices from Dale and he wasn't too keen on searching through them for this one car.
