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. |

CNG-powered Chevy Sonic, Cruze headed your way
Fri, Nov 7 2014The value proposition for a Crazy Diamond Performance CNG ride was a little bit better before gas prices took a dive in the past month. Still, the Michigan-based company, which converts some of Chevrolet's compact vehicles to run on compressed natural gas, received approval late last month from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for two of its conversion models. And CNG is still pretty cheap. Crazy Diamond will start selling CNG versions of both the Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Sonic. The startup will target fleet operators looking to cut both refueling costs and their carbon footprint. CNG can be found in much of the country in the low $2 range, while the average CO2 emissions are about 25 percent less than those of similar gas-powered vehicles. Average gas prices have tumbled by more than 30 cents a gallon in the last month, according to AAA, but they're still at close to $3. The two models will be able to go almost 300 miles on a full tank of CNG. Crazy Diamond said this summer that it would start selling converted a CNG-powered Cruze that delivers 130 horsepower for as low as $26,000. The turbocharged version goes for about $28,000. Take a look at Crazy Diamond Performance's celebratory press release below. Crazy Diamond Performance recieves EPA approval on its CNG Cruze and Sonic CDP receives EPA approval for its Mono-Fuel CNG Cruze and Sonic. Shelby Township, Michigan, October 30, 2014– Crazy Diamond Performance (CDP) receives EPA approval on its Mono-Fuel Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Sonic. Crazy Diamond Performance has received EPA approval on two new mono-fuel small passenger vehicles, the CNG Chevrolet Cruze and CNG Chevrolet Sonic. These new mono-fuel CNG platforms are the first of a series of small and fuel efficient vehicles coming from CDP, where cost, low emissions and reduced fuel consumption is important for not only fleet owners, but to the general public as well. "Soon to be available, are the 1.8L and 1.4L Cruze and Sonic CNG retrofit systems. These two vehicles represent a change in the status quo, with an OEM level integration of the fuel system and its components" states Michelle Fern, Executive Vice President CDP Inc. These vehicles provide flexibility for fleets looking to purchase a domestic small mono-fuel passenger sedan, but have not had an option until now. There are significant emissions benefits over its gasoline counterpart, with an average reduction in Carbon Dioxide (CO2) of 25%.
Texas sues GM, saying it tricked customers into sharing driving data sold to insurers
Wed, Aug 14 2024Texas filed a lawsuit Tuesday against GM over years of alleged abuse of customers' data and trust. New car owners were presented with a "confusing and highly misleading" process that was implied to be for their safety, but "was no more than a deceptively designed sales flow" that surrendered their data for GM to sell. The suit contends that at no point was selling driving data ever even suggested as a possibility, putting GM in violation of the state's consumer protection laws. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is seeking a jury trial and at least $10,000 per offense (every GM car sold in the state since 2015) and a hefty add-on of $250,000 in cases where the victim was over 65. Texas seems to be flying high after a recent $1.4 billion settlement from Meta over other privacy concerns. This may well be a way to solve any pending budgetary issues in the Lone Star State.
General Motors shaking up its marketing... again
Wed, 13 Mar 2013One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")
