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... |

2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
