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...

GM cutting Chevy Sonic, Buick Verano production [UPDATE]

Sun, Jan 25 2015

UPDATE: A previous version of this story indicated that Orion Assembly would be idled for seven weeks, from February 16 through April 6. This was incorrect. The factory will instead only be idled for the weeks of February 16 and April 6. The story has been edited to reflect this. General Motors has announced that the factory responsible for the Buick Verano and Chevrolet Sonic will be idled for the weeks of February 16 and April 6, with blame being placed on excess supply. The Orion Assembly plant, about 45 minutes north of GM's Renaissance Center headquarters, employs about 1,800 people, but they'll be given a pair of furloughs as inventories of the sub-compact Sonic and premium compact Verano reach 127 days and 84 days, respectively. That works out to 26,600 Chevys and 9,800 Buicks waiting for buyers. According to Automotive News, the compact Chevy sales bested the industry average in 2014, jumping up nine percent versus the the overall segment's eight-percent gain, while the Buick sedan's sales were down four percent. When asked about the shutdown, a GM spokesman told AN that it will "build to market demand," while also pointing out that the company did not comment on production plans.

Next Chevrolet Malibu to have 'groundbreaking,' 'passionate' design

Mon, Dec 29 2014

In our First Drive of the Chevrolet Malibu after its redesign in 2013 we wrote, "Chevy has quickly worked up a host of changes for its ever-important midsize sedan, and will be launching this 'there, we fixed it' 2014 Malibu like it's an all-new product." Still, no one cared. The Malibu has been mentioned in eight posts this year, all but two of them dealt with recalls, and one of those two was about a 2011 Malibu university science project. It came up in precisely zero posts from November 2013 to March 2014. That's why, according to a report in Automotive News, Chevrolet honchos are "hustling" to have a new Malibu ready in a year. Mark Reuss, General Motors' head of global product development, said it will have "groundbreaking design" and "groundbreaking technology," and asked investors who were showed a picture of it, "When is the last time you saw a [midsize] car this distinctive and this dramatic from General Motors?" Doubling down on the bullishness, Reuss said, "We've got our act together here on the midsize-car segment." Then, throwing every last chip on the pile, global design head Ed Welburn said the next Malibu's design will "make a significant statement" with "a very passionate design." Based on the number of comments Malibu posts get, we figure a fair few number of you would love for this to be the case; yet this is a lot of braggadocio to slather on a car that probably hasn't made "a significant statement" since Elton John had a number one record with Honky Chateau. That was 1972, if you're trying to remember. No matter the looks, the AN report says the new 'Bu will make a profit statement, selling for more money while costing less to produce. Alongside the Cruze, GM figures the pair will bring in an extra $800 million in variable profit in 2016. Which, in case it ends up being another 'butterface,' isn't bad for a silver lining.

Do you guys like trucks?

Wed, Jan 17 2018

Do you guys like trucks? If the answer is yes, boy do we have the show for you! The 2018 North American International Auto Show is lousy with 'em. Yeah, we saw the new Ram 1500, Chevy Silverado and Ford Ranger, but that's just scratching the surface. There are big trucks, little trucks, clean trucks, dirty trucks, old trucks, new trucks, red trucks, blue trucks. It's like a Dr. Seuss book. Anyway, we made a little video for you truck nuts (see what I did there?). Check it out above, and if you're looking for more serious coverage of the Detroit Auto Show, we've got it, along with a ton of images and other videos from the show floor. Enjoy!
