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. |

Recharge Wrap-up: Phoenix Cars delivers ZEUS to Navy, Volt saves gas compared to i-MiEV
Thu, Apr 23 2015Phoenix Cars has delivered its first Zero Emissions Utility Shuttle (ZEUS) flatbed truck to the US Navy. The electric flatbed will be used to transport maintenance materials around Naval Base Ventura County Port Hueneme. The Phoenix ZEUS features a 100-mile range, and can charge in just three hours.

Read more in the press release from Phoenix Cars. A man found that he used less gas by trading in his Mitsubishi i-MiEV for a Chevrolet Volt. Ben Rich saved fuel in part by using his Volt for road trips rather than needing to rent cars. Rich also found other benefits to driving a Volt, including more comfort, more freedom of movement and less range anxiety. Rich often had to turn off the heat in the winter to eke out precious miles in the Mitsubishi, which he needn't do in the Chevy, though he did have a gripe about the Volt using the gas motor to warm the car.

General Motors "has placed a significant bet [on] the electrification of the automobile," says CEO Mary Barra. In a speech to the Detroit Economic Club this week, she spoke about the Chevrolet Volt, and its importance to GM's future.

The new Volt is more refined, stores more energy, has longer range, uses less fuel and is a big investment for Michigan. She announced that the new Volt's electric drive system will be built in Warren, and that all of its major components will be made in Michigan. "Silicon Valley doesn't have a corner on the market for innovation, creativity and drive," says Barra. "These qualities exist here – in this region – as well."

BMW, Hyundai score big in JD Power's first Tech Experience Index
Mon, Oct 10 2016While automakers are quick to brag about winning a JD Power Initial Quality Study award, the reality, as we've pointed out before, is that these ratings are somewhat misleading, since IQS doesn't necessarily distinguish genuine quality issues. JD Power's new Tech Experience Index aims to solve that problem. The new metric takes the same 90-day approach as IQS but focuses exclusively on technology – collision protection, comfort and convenience, driving assistance, entertainment and connectivity, navigation, and smartphone mirroring. It splits the industry up into just seven segments, based loosely on size, which is why the Chevrolet Camaro is in the same division (mid-size) as Kia Sorento and the Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class is in the same segment as the Hyundai Genesis (mid-size premium). It makes for some screwy bedfellows, to be sure. Still, splitting tech experience away from initial quality should allow customers to make more informed and intelligent decisions when buying new vehicles. In the inaugural study, respondents listed BMW and Hyundai as the big winners, with two segment awards – the 2 Series for small premium and the 4 Series for compact premium, and the Genesis for mid-size premium and Tucson for small segment. The Chevrolet Camaro (midsize), Kia Forte (compact), and Nissan Maxima (large) scored individual wins. Ford also had a surprising hit with the Lincoln MKC, which ranked third in the compact premium segment behind the 4 Series and Lexus IS. This is a coup for the Blue Oval, whose woeful MyFord Touch systems made the brand a victim of the IQS' flaws in the early 2010s. But Ford and other automakers might not want to celebrate just yet. According to JD Power, there's still a lot of room for improvement – navigation systems were the lowest-rated piece of tech in the study. Instead, customers repeatedly saluted collision-avoidance and safety systems, giving the category the best marks of the study and listing blind-spot monitoring and backup cameras as two must-have features – 96 percent of respondents said they wanted those two systems in their next vehicle. But this isn't really a surprise. Implementation of safety systems from brand to brand is similar, and they don't require any input from users, unlike navigation and infotainment systems which are frustratingly deep.
