This car is built to look like a true 1969 Yenko Nova.

A LOT OF CAR in the ~ under $30k range!!!

Look what Musclecar calendar had to say about the Yenko Nova:

“As were the early Yenko Camaro's, the Nova’s were simply cars taken off of the Yenko lot in Canonsburg and modified by the Yenko race shop. Most, if not all, were SS 396 / 375hp 4-speed cars with very few options. The Nova's came equipped with the basics, such as bench seat, vinyl floor mats, but did sport a factory 4:10 posi rear end. It is believed that less than 40 of these cars were built, with only 8 documented cars known to exist today.

It is easy to tell any of the Yenko’s produced in 1969, as they all could be identified by their distinctive side stripes, hood decals, Yenko badges and special chrome 427 emblems. It is thought that only one car was delivered with the stripe delete on the order, that disputed 1968 COPO car. Yenko did not attach serial plates on 1969 and later cars.

Well, of course at this price this car is not a REAL Yenko Nova, but it is a very nice Replica, Reproduction, or Tribute car with some very nice modifications. This is what it is:

1969 Nova Body – Built to look like a 69 Yenko externally

3.08 rear end gears

Ceramic coated headers

New cadium coated brake booster

Correct Yenko badging and stripes

Just a note: Yenko Novas could have come with any/all/none of the following options: Yenko side stripes, Yenko hood stripes, Yenko emblem(s), "Torque Thrust" style wheels, Dixco hood tach, after market gauges.

This car is using the 1969 Yenko styled decals and logos.

When you first look at this car, you think WOW, is that a real Yenko?.… then you start looking a litle harder and closer and see…BIG tubed headers, big exhaust, sitting low….then if you hear it run, you go OH Sh- - !!! What the heck, that is a BAD BOY!!!! What the crap is that? Well…

Here is some more detail for you:

EXTERIOR:  Original window moldings, most of the other trim is new including emblems, bumpers, steel cowl induction hood.

PAINT:  The paint is PPG paint w/ BlackYenko tape stripes. The car has been professionally color sanded and buffed. It has been touched up in a few places.

BODY: All of the metal appears to be original except the left rear quarter has been professionally replaced. The hood is a steel cowl induction hood.

ENGINE: 383 stroker 4 bolt main Chevy smallblock, painted blue, nice hydraulic cam by Trick Flow, .480/.490 lift

INTERIOR:  Original style bench seat just recovered.

SOUND SYSTEM: Very nice in dash CD player.

TIRES and WHEELS:  18 x 7 and 18 x 8 American Racing CL205’s – Gray spokes with polished lips with New Nitto directional radial tires

SUSPENSION:   New front Hotchkis drop springs used to lower front ~2 inches. Rear multi leaf springs.

DRIVETRAIN:   Rear end with 3.08 gears; 4 speed transmission.

EXHAUST: 2.5” pipes, Nascar style X pipe,  Flowmaster mufflers with aluminized dual exhausts and 2.5” tailpipes.

The paint and body are nice, but I would NOT say perfect by any means. The car is a nice Cruise In car, NOT a 1000 point show car!

All lights work, shifts great, and drives like new.  Please ask questions as I have most likely left something out.  This car is not flawless.  To coin a phrase I heard last week, “Are you looking at the rose in the vase or the dust on the breakfast table?” Is it perfect, no, is it nice YES!!!

Condition

This is what I would call a very nice local show car, or even a great weekend cruiser. This Chevy will win you trophies at the local shows and cruise ins, but I do not think it will win the Bowtie Nationals. It is nicely detailed, but do not expect a perfect “concourse” trailer queen. The car does show very well and if it does not sell here you may be able to come see it in the upcoming Inaugural Collector Car Auction on July 19th and 20th In Denver, CO.

The car was restored a couple of years ago by Jeff Peters who won the 2002 Year One Cup, There are small paint chips (normal wear and tear) and it has been driven some and can use minor details being addressed. There are 3-4 small paint issues, but nothing major. The overall paint is very, very nice. Again, this is more of a Cruiser/Muscle Car than it is a Show car!

Look at my feedback, whenever I sell something on Ebay I try to be as detailed as I can giving you a factual description to the best of my knowledge.

Vehicle has roughly 4,600 miles since being rebuilt and even less on the engine. The car is believed to have around 160,000 total. 

I do not think you will be able to find a Collector type car in the under $30k range that will equal the quality and appearance of this car.

Please note - once reserve is met and someone is serious, I usually sell to them because a "bird in the hand is worth two in the bush", so if you are serious about trying to bid to buy this car, you need to go ahead and bid, don’t  wait around to see what happens, because you just might miss it. Next thing you know it will still be on your watch list with auction ended and will be in someone else's garage.

The car has a clear title.
