You've gotta love the chase, the stories that go with it, and the final result of finding the car! Congratulations. Great story.

Hey Will;
The car was sold here without the BB, the seller had removed it many years ago when he first bought it from the guy in Centreville.

We'd like to talk to the guy who sold it to the Centreville man. Doesn't happen to be Lee Slaughter?

This car is not the one sold from Lustine, that car is known too. We are speculating that this car might have been sold from Robert Chevrolet in Hicksville, on Long Island, NY.

Hi Marlin - I am brand new today to the forum. I have some interesting information on the orange Yenko Nova from Centerville, MD. In 1986 I worked for the Maryland State Railroad Administration,(the agency that used to be responsible for the MARC commuter train, and also for all local freight lines on Maryland's Eastern shore. One spring day in April 1986 I was driving north on MD 213 to Chestertown, MD to review a project to upgrade the rail yard there. When I got to Centerville, for some reason I slowed down and looked to the right to see a bunch of old cars sitting near a small outbuilding shed like structure. Suddenly I saw an orange Nova. I then recognized the black Yenko stripe on the side, carrying over onto the trunk lid. Could it be a real Yenko Nova? My heart started pounding. The grass and the weeds were all grown up around it, but I knew it had to be the real deal, not a clone. Remember, no one cloned cars back then, especially in an area so remote! I was 27 at the time, and tried feverishly to find someone in the area to inquire about the car. No such luck! I pawed around that car as much as I could, but felt I may get into trouble for trespassing, being a State Employee. For a couple more years I saw that car, and then one day it was gone.

About 10 years ago, I attended a Camaro car show in Frederick, MD at the fairgrounds. There were several Yenko Camaro's there, and I ended up talking to an owner about the Nova in Centerville. This person told me it was a myth, but I never let on that I had actually touched it!

Last Saturday, June 21, I happened upon a website showing a Yenko Camaro clone for sale. I automatically thought of the Centerville Yenko Nova, and Googled It. Voila! Your blog shows up with pictures and &quot;the rest of the story&quot;. THE INTERNET IS AMAZING SOMETIMES! I could not wait fast enough to join the registry to tell you my story!

Anyway, thanks for such a great ending, and for providing the photos! Now you may add my two cents worth to such a neat mystery! I AM SO HAPPY THIS CAR WAS RESCUED. Now I only wished it was mine! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Would it be possible to see the car sometime in the near future? I notice your blog is from 2008, so I am taking a chance here. I would love to see it, if the owner is willing. Also, I do not know if you own it, or just know the owner. If not I would understand, but either way maybe some more photos of its current condition.

Anyway, I would appreicate an answer to this blog. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

PS - I have been to Lee Slaughters (Delaware) numerous times. I know he sold the business some time ago, but it has reopened in Florida!

Sincerely,
Tom from Emmitsburg, MD
