Let's talk about this amazing, head-turning muscle car.
You are viewing a 1969 Chevy Nova Yenko Clone; not like any other. EXTERIOR We will begin with the beautiful Dupont Premier gold-pearl paint, which is laser straight, with custom made "carbon fiber" Yenko graphics. This Nova has new panels throughout including new fenders, quarters, trunk lid and a very expensive, lightweight aluminum hood. This Nova received a "No-Expense-Spared" rotisserie restoration. The exterior of the car received all new chrome and trim including bumpers, door handles, grill, vent window trim, etc. Topping off the exterior is a beautifully done vinyl top, which accents the black interior perfectly. With all classic cars that are street driven, there is always the risk of some nicks and scratches. This car is close to perfect with one nick at the corner of the trunk and quarter panel, which occurred before it even made it to the street. INTERIOR The interior has a custom-built roll bar with swing-out door bars, which are removable. These bars allow easy entering and exiting of the vehicle without having to climb over a bar. The roll bar is attached to the body and frame, which ties in the complete body; making it extremely tight. The interior received a new rug, custom black, leather seats and a custom upholstered rear seat to match. A 1970 vintage Corvette steering wheel was used for it's classic look. To monitor this beast, Autometer gauges with a custom console pod was used. An Alpine CD player and custom kick panel speakers were installed. Now for the fun part!!! The ENGINE & DRIVE TRAIN This Nova has an all-aluminum block LS-1 with ARP bolts. The heads were ported and polished Z06 243 castings. It has a Comps Cam 600 lift hydraulic roller cam with matching lifters and valve train; topping it off with a duel plane Chevy high performance intake and ignition kit. A 750 Holley HP carb maintains the fuel delivery. A custom-made motor plate mounts the alternator, power steering, and tension belt drive system. A custom-made aluminum air dam was made to incorporate the K&N air filter into the cowl induction hood. It has an aluminum radiator with a custom-made aluminum shroud with a Black Magic high flow fan assembly. Adjustable fuel regulator and braided lines with AN fittings were used throughout the car. TRANSMISSION The transmission is a TKO 500 with a McLeod bell housing with a McLeod twin disc race clutch, which is very expensive. The clutch is controlled by an after market hydraulic system, giving it a nice firm clutch pedal. REAR-END The rear end is a custom built 9 inch Ford, which has been shortened and back-braced for extra strength. The internals are from Moser engineering. It has 33 spline axels with 373 gears and a heavy duty spool. The rear-suspension is the awesome Calvert Caltrac Split Mono Leaf suspension system. It has adjustable Calvert bars with Billet aluminum, gold anodized shocks. The rear of the car has been mini-tubbed to accomodate for the "huge meats" under the rear of this car. These can be easily viewed in the pictures. FRONT SUSPENSION The front suspension has all new tie rods, drag link, idler arm, etc. The upper and lower control arms are tubular and powder-coated black. It has new 2 inch drop springs and shocks. This Nova also has four wheel Wilwood disc brakes making it "stop on a dime". EXHAUST SYSTEM The exhaust system starts with a set of Dyno-Tech big tube 1 7/8 ceramic coated long tube headers. A custom made aluminized 3 inch exhaust with Flow-Master big block mufflers was made to tuck up nicely into the body and exits perfectly behind the rear tires. For a really tough look! FUEL SYSTEM A shortened Rick's stainless steel gas tank with fuel injection in-tank pump was used. Braided fuel lines, AN fittings and a Aeromotive fuel filter, and a 750 HP Holley with a one inch Wilson's manifold Billet spacer were all installed. WHEELS AND TIRES This Nova rolls on Weld racing wheels with Mickey Thompson 325/50/15 in the rear on 10 inch rims. In the front are 15 x 5 Weld wheel skinnies with 165 R15 wide track radials. The rear tires are worn and in need of replacement. RECOGNITION AND AWARDS This car has won multiple trophies including several first place and 2 Best In Show, and won The Favorite 50 Award at a well known car show, Adirondack Nationals in Lake George, NY and is featured in their Souvenir Book, which is included in the pictures and included with the car. This Nova is very "streetable", FAST and extremely fun to drive. It has the race car look and sound with street car drivability. It is so streetable that my wife is going to miss being able to drive it to car shows and cruises and all the attention she gets while driving it. The engine runs with 40 PSi of oil pressure and water temperature does not exceed 190 no matter what the temperature is outside. This is a true street car. Please view all pictures carefully and read entire description. If you have any questions, I would prefer you call me at 774-930-7602 (DAVID) before placing any bids. Serious inquiries only. I have many more photos but could not list all of them as the photo limit was 24 pictures. This vehicle is also listed locally for sale and I reserve the right to remove this ad should the reserve be met outside of ebay. Thanks. The photos can not display the true beauty of this muscle car. The car is available for viewing in person for serious inquiries only. PLEASE NO TEST PILOTS OR TIRE KICKERS....THANKS! LOCAL PICK-UP ONLY... |

2022 Genesis GV70, raging at VW ID.4 tech and thoughts on a new Lexus LFA | Autoblog Podcast #696
Fri, Sep 17 2021In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor James Riswick. This week, they talk about driving the Genesis GV70, VW ID.4 and VW Taos. They talk about ways Chevy could "fix" the Camaro. James ranked all the James Bond films based solely on their starring cars. Next, they reach in the mailbag and discuss the question, "Do you think Lexus will make a successor to the LFA and, if so, what do you guys think it would be like?" After ruminating on that query, they dip into the mailbag a second time to recommend a sporty crossover to a listener in this week's Spend My Money segment.

Surprise! GM putting aluminum in next-gen pickups
Wed, Aug 5 2015Last month, General Motors launched a series of ads touting the benefits of steel over aluminum – specifically, with regard to the Chevy Silverado versus the Ford F-150. (Kind of. We're not sure what a grizzly bear has to do with anything.) We took issue with the ads, with editor in chief Mike Austin saying they "reek of insecurity, and distract from the Silverado's strengths that could be used for positive advertising." But what bothers us more, is that yet another report surfaced claiming anti-aluminum GM will indeed use the weight-saving material in its next-generation fullsize trucks. On Tuesday, GM announced a $877-million investment for its truck plant in Flint, MI. But Reuters says that huge overhaul is because the trucks will use "substantially different equipment than the tools GM uses today." The report specifically states, "People familiar with the company's plans say GM's next-generation pickups and SUVs will make use of various materials, including aluminum and lightweight steel, to shed weight and gain fuel efficiency to meet tougher federal standards." The Silverado already uses a few aluminum components in the engine and hood, and if more widespread use will help GM build its best fullsize trucks ever, then that's great. Honestly, we have no reason to doubt that aluminum will be used in the next Silverado and GMC Sierra. We just hope GM remembers that nothing is ever truly deleted from the bowels of the Internet when it launches the subsequent "look how great aluminum is!" campaign.

The Volt Dance had precedent; meet the Chevy Footlockers
Sun, Dec 14 2014Marketing in the auto industry can get weird sometimes – really quite bizarre, in fact. For example, remember the Chevy Volt dance from the 2009 Los Angles Auto Show? If not, a group boogied to a song about the electric car, and it was every bit as awkward (and hilarious) as that sounds. In fact, that innocent bit of promotion lives in infamy, as some pundits grabbed hold of it during General Motors' bailout and asked why America's tax dollars were going to such things. The Chicago Auto Show has been digging through its vault of vintage videos, and it has come up with something that might actually be worse than that Volt-themed routine. They're called the Chevy Footlockers, and they're a dance troupe somehow promoting the Cavalier at the 1988 Chicago show. The connection between the car and their routine is unclear, but it's gloriously cheesy in a Chippendales-meets-AC Slater sort of way. Also, there are props towards the end, but we aren't going to spoil them for you, because you just have to watch for yourself. As a bonus, there's another (brief) clip below showing a female dance group with the Geo Tracker at the '91 Chicago show, and they sing, too. Scroll down to watch both of these oddities.
