The combo has to be submitted by the OEM to the NHRA. Since the final product was not completely produced by the OEM, how can they submit it?

Didn't Yenko change more than the stripes and emblems?

Ya, they all got a Dixco hood tach...but so what? Like any dealer then or now, Yenko chevrolet would add whatever the customer would pay for...but that should have no bearing on the classification of a 1970 360hp/350ci Nova, of which at least 177 were built by chevrolet on the assembly line for public consumption, had vins, and carried the standard 5/50 warranty. Many of the 50+ 1968 copo novas built by chevrolet (ordered by fred gibb specifically for s/s racing) were modified by dick harrell performance before being advertised and sold as gibb-harrell novas, yet they are in the class guide and have been for 40+ years (in there as assembled by chevrolet 396/375hp 400thm form). The 1970 360hp/350 nova should have always been in the nhra guide, plain and simple...its not a paper shelby combo or vin-less like the cj's. What specifically is required by the nhra for classification? There are a couple guys on the gm historical documents side that might still care...we have most of the paperwork, but the nhra hasn't cared the last 3 attempts.

-->see this thread<-- There are thumbnails in that thread of some of our Yenko-->NHRA correspondence but they won't show up for some reason? Marlin (Yenko Deuce Registry over at Yenko.net) helped in the past as well, I'll rattle his cage over there. BTW, a good deal of the vin #s are public and have been for a while: -->click here<--
