Chevy Nova Yenko 427 SC Tribute, Rally Green, fully restored, fantastic car like new! This is a wonderful, authentic recreation of a Yenko 427 SC Chevy Nova. I own a restoration shop, and personally built this car for myself over the past year from the ground up with strict attention to detail and quality. It is a fantastic vehicle that delivers the vibe, detail, and performance of the all-but-unobtainable big-block Chevy Yenko Nova Supercar. The Yenko SC Nova has been rightly hailed as the most venerable street fighter ever produced, along with it's cousin the Motion Performance 3 Stage Nova. They were so light, powerful, and fast they were scary... this one still is. With only 36 originals built and authentic cars selling in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, this is a fun and affordable way to own one of the most iconic muscle car classics ever made. You could not build this car yourself for the price... it's an amazing car waiting for the right new owner. The Yenko began life as an original, low-milage, rust-free car. During the restoration process, all the front sheet metal was removed in order to detail the engine bay and subframe to factory as-new condition. All the under hood components are new: Brackets, hoses, belts, pulleys, alternator, power steering pump, water pump, battery, regulator, etc. The radiator, heater box, and heater core are all new as well and are correct factory big block parts. New fasteners were used throughout. The inner fenders, firewall, radiator core support, etc. have all been fully restored as well. Under the hood looks factory fresh and new. The 1967 big block engine is fully rebuilt to approximately 425 horsepower. The block was hot tanked and magnafluxed to assure integrity, line bored and honed, new forged pistons, reconditioned factory steel rods and crank, and the rotating assembly balanced. New high performance bearings, cam, lifters, rev kit, rockers, oil pump, fuel pump, timing set, etc. The heads have been redone including high performance multi-angle valve job, new stem seals, and hardened seats for today's unleaded fuel. The engine features correct vintage factory chrome valve covers, and an Edelbrock Air Gap intake with a new Holley 750 double-pumper carburetor on top. A new MSD HEI ignition with big wires fires the air/fuel mixture, and factory HP cast iron exhaust manifolds are ported and gasket-matched handle the exhaust gast flow like headers, without the header hassle. The engine has been detailed to include the proper 427 Yenko badging, and looks outstanding. The Turbo 400 transmission has also been completely rebuilt including new pump, clutches, line set, shift kit, and converter. The driveline was fabricated of heavy-duty thick wall tubing with factory yokes and heavy-duty U-joints to handle the power. The engine and transmssion have under 500 miles on them since the build; I broke them in personally and the car runs flawlessly. The engine sounds amazing with a very aggressive lope and exhaust tone . A beautiful new true dual 2 1/2" exhaust system featuring Flowmaster Series 40 mufflers and x-pipe crossover exits correctly out back behind the rear tires. The exhaust system features mandrel bent tubing and the nicest welds you'll ever see. The underside of the car is clean, with new brakes all around, custom multileaf rear springs, KYB gas shocks, and detailed front subframe and rear end. The wheels are restored original 1969 American Racing Equipment Torq Thrusts 14 x 7's from wearing new BFG Radial T/A tires; 225/50/14 rears and 205/60/14 fronts for an aggressive, staggered stance. The center caps feature the correct Yenko emblems as well! The interior features new windshield, new factory optional sport steering wheel, new carpet, new seat upholstery including YSC-badged headrests, perfect dash pad, new headliner, new sail panels, new door panels, new sill plates, new package tray, new heater controls, bezel, levers, etc... the list goes on and on. What's not new has been removed, restored, and reinstalled; the interior looks like a new car. Shifting duties for the fully-rebuilt Turbo 400 with shift kit and stall converter are handled by the factory column shifter for an authentic original look. A set of auxiliary below-dash gauges monitor oil pressure, water temperature, and amps. The body features all original sheet metal panels, massaged into near perfection. The doors, fenders, hood, deck lid, etc. were all removed from the car, prepared for paint inside and out, and painted inside and out for a show finish. The paint job is a high-end two-stage finish in factory Chevrolet Rally Green poly (metallic). The paint job was done properly with removal of the existing original finish as appropriate, hammer-and-dolly bodywork, epoxy primer, high-build polyester primer, hand blocking of all panels, sealer, finish blocking, application of urethane base color coat, and application of three high-solids urethane clear coats. After the paint cured, the entire car was wet-sanded by hand and the panels blocked flat, machine cut and polished, and finally hand glazed. The paint job is beautiful and shines like a mirror. All the small details are correct, including the Yenko YSC side stripes, hood stripes, and "YSC" headrest decals. Yenko dealership fender and tail panel badges, 427 fender market lamp badges, 427 tail panel badge, Yenko engine decals, and Yenko wheel center cap emblems. This car is absolutely gorgeous from top to bottom. Look at the reflection in the underside of the hood, deck lid, fenders, etc. They are finished as finely as the exterior of the vehicle. The trunk has been fully restored with correct black/blue spatter paint and looks showroom fresh. The chrome trim is new, including new front and rear bumpers, new wheel lip moldings, new grill, headlamp bezels, eyebrow moldings, hood leading edge trim, marker lamps, parking lamps, tail lamps,headlights, emblems, antenna, etc. The car pretty much appears showroom new inside, outside, under the hood, and in the trunk. New weatherstripping has been installed, including door, trunk, and hood-to-cowl seals; new window felts and window wipers as well. She runs and drives as good as she looks, with the amazing power and driving experience that only a built big-block can deliver. Crisp tire-burning shifts, tight steering and cornering, effective braking. This beautiful Yenko 427 SC Nova is a stunning tribute to one of the finest and rarest muscle cars ever made. I cut no corners, and spared no expense. Clear title in my name ready for transfer. This is a rare opportunity to own a Yenko tribute done right... I see so many that miss the mark. This car will deliver the complete, authentic Yenko Nova experience in all respects. This car is going to make someone very, very happy. |

2016 Chevrolet Colorado Diesel First Drive [w/video]
Tue, Oct 6 2015The first thing you notice inside the diesel Chevy Colorado is that it's quiet. Almost too quiet. A lot has been done to quell noise and vibration with this new powertrain, and it shows – or rather, doesn't. There's some characteristic diesel clatter at idle, but even then it's distant and practically disappears as you start moving down the road. At full throttle, when the engine is at its noisiest, the sound isn't particularly diesel-like, just a pleasant intake breath. The accompanying smoothness is almost eerie. When we ask where all the noise went, Chevy's engineers, marketing guys, and PR reps all explain that this refinement is what Americans want. We're still not sure. This is a truck, after all, and the diesel pickup customer is different from the guy buying a diesel Cruze for his highway commute. Chevy contends that they're also not the same as the buyer of a Silverado HD. Although this 2.8-liter Duramax four-cylinder has been in service elsewhere around the globe, its first US application is in the Colorado and its GMC Canyon twin. The engine puts out 181 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, and it does so unobtrusively as a result of a lot of modifications for our market. To keep normal diesel sensations out of the cabin, the intake and oil pan both get acoustic treatments. A new, thicker material is used for firewall sound deadening. Redesigned balance shafts have tighter tolerances to increase smoothness. The diesel powertrain is smoother than the Colorado's gasoline V6. One of the more interesting and certainly unexpected vibration-reduction changes is a special torque converter from German supplier LuK equipped with a centrifugal pendulum absorber. This pendulum spreads from the center of the torque converter as engine speed increases and is tuned to absorb the four-cylinder's second-order vibrations, not just those in a narrow frequency band. It does an admirable job, especially considering the engine's biggish, 0.7-liter cylinders, which lead to bigger vibrations. The result is a powertrain that's smoother than GM's (not particularly smooth) corporate V6, which is available in the standard Colorado. It's quieter than a Cruze diesel and even out-softens some gas direct-injection engines on the market. Paradoxically, it may be the most refined of all of the Colorados. No vibration comes through the steering wheel, pedals, floorboards, or even the rearview mirror. But you can tell it's a diesel when you hit the throttle.
How easy is it to rebuild a Chevy small block V8?
Sat, Mar 21 2015Chevrolet's famous small block V8 stands as one of the workhorse engines in American auto history, with its variants going into vehicles from hot rods to pickup trucks. But do you know that you can fully disassemble and completely restore one of these mills in just under four minutes? Well, as long as there's some assistance from time-lapse photography, that is. Hagerty created this short clip showing a dirt-covered small block turning from a frog into a prince. Thankfully, the time-lapse doesn't speed the process up too much, and it's still easy to see how all of the principal parts fit together. With all sorts of sensors and software helping to drive the modern automobile, viewing the internal combustion engine in its purely mechanical form is still fascinating. Related Video:
Nissan Leaf hits 3,000 sales in July, Chevy Volt climbs over 2,000
Fri, Aug 1 2014It was a good sales month for both the Nissan Leaf and the Chevy Volt, with the two 'elder statesman' plug-in vehicles reaching numerical milestones in July. The Leaf sold 3,019 units and the Volt crossed the 2,000 sales level for the first time in 2014, hitting 2,020 sales. With Tesla also announcing it is delivering around 2,500 Model S EVs a month (but that's globally, compared to the US-only numbers for the Volt and Leaf we're talking about here) and Ford's plug-in vehicles selling well, we are certainly in a golden moment for EV sales. The Volt was a bright spot for the Bowtie brand last month. For the Volt, the 2,020 units sold represents a 13 percent increase from July of 2013 even thought year-to-date sales are down 8.7 percent this year compared to last year. Overall, total Chevrolet deliveries for July 2014 were up eight percent compared to 2013, so the Volt was a bright spot for the Bowtie brand last month. On the Leaf front, this is only the second time that the EV has sold more than 3,000 units in a month (the other being in May of this year). The year-over-year increase for the Leaf was 62 percent in July and represents the 17th straight month of record sales, as Nissan is more than happy to report each month. Overall, Leaf sales are up 34.6 percent, year-to-date, and Nissan's director of Leaf sales and infrastructure, Brendan Jones, said in a statement that a free public charging incentive was responsible. "Since we launched the No Charge to Charge promotion in the first 10 markets, we've seen a surge in Leaf sales in those areas. Leaf sales in the northeastern US are also picking up with new tax incentives for Massachusetts and Maryland residents." With No Charge To Charge set to expand to 25 markets over the next year, we expect Leaf sales to continue to grow. We will have our monthly look at all green car sales available soon, so stay tuned.
