PREYes there were about 37 Yenko Novas sold in 1969 all were big block. Most had
a 427/425hp transplanted in but there is some evidence that a few were left

the 69 Nova was not. They started out as SS 396/375hp cars.

The Cheetah was built by Bill Thomas to compete with the AC Cobras. It was light and very fast but didn't handle that well. Bill Thomas had a race car fabrication shop in CA. and did a lot of secret projects for Chevy. He was building a wild 63 Nova for Chevy with a fiberglass fastback body but

The rubber brake hose will expand with age but the outside will look ok and
the inside closes up. They can get so tight that fluid will not return
through the hose after the brakes are applied. This can prevent the brakes
from releasing properly.
The Yenko Chevelle automatic cars used an aftermarket Hurst Duel Gate shifter
that came with a console. It was similar to a GTO shifter but was designed to
be installed as a replacement shifter. They have a nice retro look.

Chevelle Never used a Hurst Shifter from the factory
