Default 1970 Yenko Nova engine?

I was on Craigslist looking up Harley stuff, then Nova stuff, and came across this ad.



Not mine and no affiliation what-so-ever, but thought I'd share it here since it looked interesting.

Maybe its original car still exists...?



Still hoping to have my own Deuce someday. :0)

I'd have to bet that someone on here checked it out. I noticed the ad is gone now.



Was it legit? If yes, does the car exist?

this engine belongs to the ex-Cliff Ernst's red deuce that is currently in the Musclecar Museum in Florida. They have not responded to repeated attempts to unite the engine with the car.

This one ?? At least they don't claim it has the original engine on the website. One would think they would jump at the chance to have it...

Are you sure the car in the American Muscle Car Museum is Cliff's old car? There are some minor differences between the museum car and the car Cliff owned. Cliff's car was also a 06B car with a body number of 363232. In the photos of the museum car you can see the trim tag in one of the engine photos. It's kind of hard to read, but to me it looks like an 05D car with a body number of 33724x. I'm guessing it's the Wallace car that Bill Auckerland used to own, but I'm not sure.
