As one of America's premier racers and Chevrolet dealers, Don Yenko unleashed some of the hottest muscle cars of the 1960s and 1970s. This 1970 Chevrolet Nova is a great replica celebrating Yenko's wildest. While better known for his upgraded Chevelles and Camaros, Yenko's quest for ultimate performance inspired him to transplant Chevrolet's L72 427 CI engine into the lightweight SS396 Nova at his dealership during 1969. This personal attention was necessary, as not even Chevrolet's infamous COPO fleet-ordering program allowed factory installation of these monstrous engines into the Nova, due to liability concerns. While the 427 Novas did usually receive aggressive striping and "Yenko" badges, they were built for serious business with the beefier structure, brakes, driveline and suspension of the SS396 Nova. Bench seats, a tachometer, steel wheels with plain hubcaps, and little else rounded out the Yenko 427 Nova. Best described as explosive, Yenko's beasts were capable of accelerating from 0-60 MPH in 5.1 seconds or less and covering the quarter-mile in 11.0 seconds. Reportedly, Yenko later stated his 427 Nova was "a real beast" and "almost lethal." Just 38 were produced. Racing and hard driving claimed most, with fewer than 10 known to exist today. Beginning as a 1970 Nova, this comprehensively restored Yenko 427 Nova replica features a 427/425 HP engine mated to a Muncie 4-speed transmission and 12-bolt rear end with 4.11 gears. Refinished with superb black paint complemented by new or restored chrome and body trim, this Nova also sports a restored original-style interior and both the chassis and undercarriage are refinished and detailed. Other highlights include an Auto Meter 8,000 RPM tachometer, power front disc brakes, ceramic-coated headers and Flowmaster mufflers. Rolling on new Argent-coated American Racing wheels mounting period-style Firestone Wide Oval tires, this 1970 Chevrolet Nova offers exceptional presence as an homage to Don Yenko's most potent creation.
