This 1969 Chevrolet Nova Yenko Tribute is for sale in our
Louisville KY showroom. The Yenko name is one of if not the most
recognizable names of the muscle car era. The little Chevrolet
dealer from PA put out some of the fastest cars from the one of the
fastest era of cars. Many people do not realize but Don got his
start with Corvairs. He began to use the COPO pipeline as it is now
known to order detuned racecars from the factory. This led to what
many believe as the craziest muscle car of all, the 69 Yenko
Camaro. The ground stomping 427's that were put in those cars had
amazing amount of power and are legends. The Nova's on the other
hand were so potent that Chevrolet would not even do the swap. The
10 known to exist are capable of running low 12's in the quarter
mile in bone stock form. This wonderful example is as close to the
real deal as you will get and probably even nicer. The car was
completely disassembled and was a nut and bolt build from the
ground up. Starting with a rust-free body it was prepped and
sprayed with multiple coats of PPG black over the whole car
including the bottom showing off the new factory floor pans. The
powder coated sub frame only adds to the detail of this build. With
the car ready to have its heart transplanted the decision to drop
in a balanced and blueprinted 468 big block was made. With a set of
polished and ported heads and a monstrous l89 cam this motor runs
as good as it sounds. Speaking of sound, the long tube ceramic
coated headers let this big block breath as it should. The power is
given to the M22 transmission so it may send it to the 12 Bolt Posi
rear end that has a set of 331 gears. Yes, you can drive this
beauty down the highway and not be hitting 4500 RPM while doing so.
Naturally you want to be able to show this 69 off and with the all
new suspension and bushings you will be able to do just that. The
all new factory red interior offsets the black exterior perfectly
while bringing out the era correct red line tires. If you have
wanted to get into the muscle car scene or just wanting a car that
is guaranteed to give you goose bumps when you roll it off the
trailer this 69 Nova Yenko Tribute is the car for you. Options on
this 1969 Chevrolet Yenko Nova Tribute include; AM Radio, Power
Brakes, Vinyl Interior, Seat Belts, and Bias Ply Red Line Tires.
