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. |

GM recalls 83,572 SUVs for ignition switch issue
Sun, Jan 4 2015General Motors is recalling 83,572 SUVs from the 2011 and 2012 model years over a potential ignition lock actuator issue. In affected vehicles, the actuator isn't the right size, which could cause the ignition to get stuck in the "Start" position, and then either due to a jarring event or a "cool interior temperature" the ignition could switch back to the "Accessory" position. Doing so would cause a loss of power assistance and the airbags might not deploy. This is a different ignition issue than the one that's been ongoing for the past year. GM said it expects that less than 500 vehicles suffer from the problem, but that the pool could include vehicles from 2007 through to 2014 that have already been fixed, but with defective parts. The 2011-2012 SUVs included in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration notice: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado HD, Silverado LD, Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Sierra LD, Sierra HD, Yukon, and Yukon XL vehicles. GM will notify owners and dealers will inspect the ignition lock housing to see if it needs a free replacement. RECALL Subject : Ignition Lock Actuator may Bind Report Receipt Date: DEC 30, 2014 NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V827000 Component(s): ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado HD, Silverado LD, Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Sierra LD, Sierra HD, Yukon, and Yukon XL vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the ignition lock actuator may bind, making turning the key difficult or causing the ignition to get stuck in the "Start" position. CONSEQUENCE: If stuck in the "Start" position, the ignition may suddenly snap back into the "Accessory" position, causing a loss of engine, steering, and braking power, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. If the vehicle is in a crash, the air bags may not deploy, increasing the risk of occupant injury. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the ignition lock housing, as necessary, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-458-8006 (Cadillac), 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), or 1-800-462-8782 (GMC). GM's number for this recall is 14696 for the original equipment, and 14912 for the service replacement parts.
What we know, and think we know, about the 2016 Chevy Volt
Wed, Aug 13 2014With the next-gen Chevy Volt due to make an appearance at the Detroit Auto Show early next year, bits and pieces about the new car are making their way into the press. Perhaps most importantly, the new Volt is going to have better "fuel economy and efficiency," according to GM executive vice president Mark Reuss. The current Volt gets 98 MPGe and 37 miles per gallon on premium fuel. It also has a 38-mile electric-only range. We don't know how GM will improve the efficiency or to what degree, but the logical options include making the car lighter, giving it better aerodynamics and/or improving the powertrain. To that end, one of the big things we don't know for sure includes information on the new gas-powered engine. Forbes says it will be a downsized 1.0-liter, three-cylinder mill instead of the 1.4-liter, four-cylinder used in the current model, which could certainly help the car be more efficient. The new Volt is also going to have more technology, which shouldn't surprise anyone. GM is now openly talking about how it will change the way it markets the Volt, shifting away from the mass-market mentality to focus on the regions where the car is already popular. "There's a Northeast and West Coast market for Volt, and there's nothing wrong with that," Chevy chief marketing officer Tim Mahoney told Forbes. There are rumors that the new Volt will have seating for five by adding a seat in the back. This is something a lot of current Volt owners would love, but we've heard nothing official hinting that this would be the case. We expect the battery to be the new 17.1-kWh version, or maybe even have a capacity increase, so GM would have to seriously repackage the pack to eliminate the ridge that runs from between the front seats and then back to the rear two seats. If you've heard anything official, do let us know.
Nissan Leaf sets another monthly sales record, Chevy Volt remains steady
Mon, Nov 3 2014Here we go again. Another month in the books and another month of record sales by the Nissan Leaf in the US. For October, the world's best-selling pure EV sold 2,589 units, which is 29.3 percent more than October 2013. That makes it 20 times in a row that Nissan can say that last month sales were better than the same month a year before. All told, Nissan has sold 24,411 Leafs in the US this year, a new record, reflecting an overall Leaf sales rate that is up 35 percent, year-to-date. Nissan isn't stopping, either. A new TV ad, one that, "encourages consumers to kick gas" by saving money on fuel will start airing today in major markets, according to Toby Perry, director of Nissan's EV marketing. You can watch it below. As for the Chevy Volt, things remained steady last month in the face of a new model that's coming in the second half of 2015. Chevy sold 1,439 Volts last month, which is about the same as September (1,394) but down 28.8 percent from the October 2013 despite GM having its best overall US October sales this year since 2007. So far, 2014 Volt year-to-date sales are down 14.9 percent through the end of October compared to 2013. And that wraps up the flash report on monthly sales for these two long-standing plug-in vehicles in the US market. As always, we'll have our in-depth write-up of US green car sales available soon.
