1969 Chevy Nova Yenko Clone Ls-1 Tremec 5-speed With 9 Inch Ford on 2040-cars
Fall River, Massachusetts, United States

Let's talk about this amazing, head-turning muscle car.
You are viewing a 1969 Chevy Nova Yenko Clone; not like any other. EXTERIOR We will begin with the beautiful Dupont Premier gold-pearl paint, which is laser straight, with custom made "carbon fiber" Yenko graphics. This Nova has new panels throughout including new fenders, quarters, trunk lid and a very expensive, lightweight aluminum hood. This Nova received a "No-Expense-Spared" rotisserie restoration. The exterior of the car received all new chrome and trim including bumpers, door handles, grill, vent window trim, etc. Topping off the exterior is a beautifully done vinyl top, which accents the black interior perfectly. With all classic cars that are street driven, there is always the risk of some nicks and scratches. This car is close to perfect with one nick at the corner of the trunk and quarter panel, which occurred before it even made it to the street. INTERIOR The interior has a custom-built roll bar with swing-out door bars, which are removable. These bars allow easy entering and exiting of the vehicle without having to climb over a bar. The roll bar is attached to the body and frame, which ties in the complete body; making it extremely tight. The interior received a new rug, custom black, leather seats and a custom upholstered rear seat to match. A 1970 vintage Corvette steering wheel was used for it's classic look. To monitor this beast, Autometer gauges with a custom console pod was used. An Alpine CD player and custom kick panel speakers were installed. Now for the fun part!!! The ENGINE & DRIVE TRAIN This Nova has an all-aluminum block LS-1 with ARP bolts. The heads were ported and polished Z06 243 castings. It has a Comps Cam 600 lift hydraulic roller cam with matching lifters and valve train; topping it off with a duel plane Chevy high performance intake and ignition kit. A 750 Holley HP carb maintains the fuel delivery. A custom-made motor plate mounts the alternator, power steering, and tension belt drive system. A custom-made aluminum air dam was made to incorporate the K&N air filter into the cowl induction hood. It has an aluminum radiator with a custom-made aluminum shroud with a Black Magic high flow fan assembly. Adjustable fuel regulator and braided lines with AN fittings were used throughout the car. TRANSMISSION The transmission is a TKO 500 with a McLeod bell housing with a McLeod twin disc race clutch, which is very expensive. The clutch is controlled by an after market hydraulic system, giving it a nice firm clutch pedal. REAR-END The rear end is a custom built 9 inch Ford, which has been shortened and back-braced for extra strength. The internals are from Moser engineering. It has 33 spline axels with 373 gears and a heavy duty spool. The rear-suspension is the awesome Calvert Caltrac Split Mono Leaf suspension system. It has adjustable Calvert bars with Billet aluminum, gold anodized shocks. The rear of the car has been mini-tubbed to accomodate for the "huge meats" under the rear of this car. These can be easily viewed in the pictures. FRONT SUSPENSION The front suspension has all new tie rods, drag link, idler arm, etc. The upper and lower control arms are tubular and powder-coated black. It has new 2 inch drop springs and shocks. This Nova also has four wheel Wilwood disc brakes making it "stop on a dime". EXHAUST SYSTEM The exhaust system starts with a set of Dyno-Tech big tube 1 7/8 ceramic coated long tube headers. A custom made aluminized 3 inch exhaust with Flow-Master big block mufflers was made to tuck up nicely into the body and exits perfectly behind the rear tires. For a really tough look! FUEL SYSTEM A shortened Rick's stainless steel gas tank with fuel injection in-tank pump was used. Braided fuel lines, AN fittings and a Aeromotive fuel filter, and a 750 HP Holley with a one inch Wilson's manifold Billet spacer were all installed. WHEELS AND TIRES This Nova rolls on Weld racing wheels with Mickey Thompson 325/50/15 in the rear on 10 inch rims. In the front are 15 x 5 Weld wheel skinnies with 165 R15 wide track radials. The rear tires are worn and in need of replacement. RECOGNITION AND AWARDS This car has won multiple trophies including several first place and 2 Best In Show, and won The Favorite 50 Award at a well known car show, Adirondack Nationals in Lake George, NY and is featured in their Souvenir Book, which is included in the pictures and included with the car. This Nova is very "streetable", FAST and extremely fun to drive. It has the race car look and sound with street car drivability. It is so streetable that my wife is going to miss being able to drive it to car shows and cruises and all the attention she gets while driving it. The engine runs with 40 PSi of oil pressure and water temperature does not exceed 190 no matter what the temperature is outside. This is a true street car. Please view all pictures carefully and read entire description. If you have any questions, I would prefer you call me at 774-930-7602 (DAVID) before placing any bids. Serious inquiries only. I have many more photos but could not list all of them as the photo limit was 24 pictures. This vehicle is also listed locally for sale and I reserve the right to remove this ad should the reserve be met outside of ebay. Thanks. The photos can not display the true beauty of this muscle car. The car is available for viewing in person for serious inquiries only. PLEASE NO TEST PILOTS OR TIRE KICKERS....THANKS! LOCAL PICK-UP ONLY... |

GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say
Fri, 05 Apr 2013The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.
2014 Chevrolet Cruze TD fires up its new diesel motor
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Ever since General Motors confirmed plans to produce a diesel-powered Cruze back in 2011, we've been eagerly awaiting its arrival. And as part of the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Chevrolet has pulled back the cover on its oil-burning compact sedan, set to go on sale in the near future with a starting price of $25,695, not including $810 for destination.
The heart and soul of the Cruze TD (that's its official name) is a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline four-cylinder engine rated at 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, mated solely to a six-speed automatic transmission. The engine also has an overboost function that will increase torque to 280 lb-ft for up to ten seconds. The full brace of official specs haven't been released, but GM tells us that highway fuel economy will come in at 42 miles per gallon. If that number sounds familiar, it's because the Volkswagen Jetta TDI has the exact same rating. Unlike the Jetta, however, the Cruze TD can run on B20 biodiesel, where as the Volkswagen can only accept B5.
Model-specific changes to this 2014 Cruze TD include an aero kit and unique 17-inch alloy wheels. Inside, there's a full leather interior, and Chevrolet will provide two years of complimentary scheduled maintenance, not to mention a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
