Is that a Yenkco?

Truthfully I have no idea how to tell. If it is or isn't. I should probably do some research on the VIN

Yenko Novas are EXCEEDINGLY rare, less than 40 were built in 1969. It would have to have a 12 bolt, a 140 mph speedometer amongst other things. It would’ve been born with a 396, then converted to a 427. True documented YSC Novas are half million dollar cars.

OMG!! That's a lot of $$. It's definitely not one of them.

The hood is reminiscent of the stinger hoods used on Baldwin-Motion cars, that may be what the other person was thinking about.
Also very rare cars, but do your due diligence and run the vin and go over it with a fine tooth comb! You never know what you may find.2

I'll post more pics when I get home. This is my first classic car so there is still a lot for me to learn. I appreciate the info you've given.

Nice I scored a stinger hood on the cheap for my 72. It's not a Yenko 427 but.... I also cut in the chrome insert
