I just received my new super chevy mag and seen a color I really like.
It is under top 10 rat powered cars.
The car I'm looking at is a blue yenko Nova. The mag says the car came in four different colors. I like the one in the picture. I think it is a color they call Fathom blue, looks great against the red line tires. The other colors they list are grecian green,matador red,
and tripoli turquoise. If anybody has any pictures of this color, could you please post.I think this is going to be my new color!

Thanks,
Steve w:D :D :D

Steve,there were no Rat powered Fathom Blue Yenko Novas. The Big block Yenko Nova was 69 and there was no Fathom Blue that year. It must be a 68 Gibb COPO Nova code E in 68. There is also a Fathom Blue in 1970 and it looks a little differnet then the 68 color. Here are two pictures of a 68 Fathom blue Nova

Ed, Nice car. I also like butternut yellow. I have plenty of time to decide.
Back in the day I had a real 1965 impala ss lemmonwood yellow. Nice color also.It had a Black gut with the window sticker when it was bought new.That went for $2,800.It makes me sick when I think of the cars I let go.Young and stupid!:eek:



Talk to ya soon,


Steve
