Vehicle Description
Worldwide Vintage Autos is pleased to present this Stunning, Rare
and highly sought after 1969 Chevrolet Nova Yenko Clone. There have
been numerous upgrades and extensive work to make this street
machine run and drive like it does today. �
HISTORY
The 1968 models were fully redesigned with an extensive restyle on
a longer 111-inch wheelbase that gave Chevy's compacts a chassis
that was just one inch shorter than that of the midsize Chevelle
coupe. The station wagon and hardtop sport coupe were discontinued,
the former in line with an industry trend which left AMC the only
American maker of compact station wagons until Chrysler rejoined
the market in 1976 (the 1966-70 Ford Falcon wagon was actually a
midsize, using a bodyshell identical to the Fairlane wagon's). One
notable change was the front subframe assembly � as compared
with�Ford, Chrysler and�AMC, in whose cars the entire front
suspension was integrated with the bodyshell, a separate subframe
housing the powertrain and front suspension (similar to the front
part of the frame of GM's�full-size, full-framed vehicles) replaced
the earlier style. Although the front subframe design was unique
for the Nova, the�Camaro�introduced a year earlier was the first to
incorporate such a design; the redesigned Nova was pushed a year
ahead to 1968 instead of 1969. The sales brochure claimed 15
powertrain choices for coupes and a dozen for sedans. Options
included power brakes and steering, Four-Season or Comfort-Car air
conditioning, rear shoulder belts, and head restraints. There were
a few Chevrolet Novas built with the 194 ci (3.1 L), the same motor
that had been used in the previous generations of the Chevy II.
Sales of the 1968 Chevy Nova fell by half. In 1969 Chevrolet
dropped the Chevy II portion of its compact car's name; it was now
known simply as the Chevrolet Nova. The 153�cu�in (2.51�L)�?4
CYL�was offered between 1968 and 1970, then was dropped due to lack
of interest (besides its other usage in the Jeep DJ-5A a.k.a. the
Postal Jeep or a marine/industrial engine) and to clear the field
for the Vega. Far more popular were the 250�cu�in (4.1�L)
six-cylinder and the base 307�cu�in (5.03�L)�V8, which replaced the
283�cu�in (4.64�L)�V8�offered in previous years. Several units were
produced with the 327�cu�in (5.36�L), 275�hp (205�kW), engine,
four-barrel quadrajet carb and four-speed Saginaw transmission with
a heavy duty 12 bolt positraction rear as a "towing option'
package. At mid-year, a�semi-automatic transmission�based on the
Powerglide called the Torque-Drive (RPO MB1) was introduced as a
low-cost option (~$100 less than the Powerglide) for clutchless
motoring. The Torque-Drive transmission was only offered with the
four and six-cylinder engines. The two-speed Powerglide was still
the only fully�automatic transmission�available with most engines,
as the more desirable three-speed Turbo-Hydramatic was only
available with the largest V8 engines. SOURCE: �WIKIPEDIA
