Vehicle Description
1971 Chevrolet Nova Yenko Replica
Why This Car Is Special
The Chevrolet Chevy II/Nova was a small automobile manufactured by
Chevrolet, and produced in five generations for the 1962 through
1979, and 1985 through 1988 model years.
If you know muscle cars, you know Don Yenko and Yenko Chevrolet
built some of the most insane muscle cars to ever pound the Earth.
The most lethal of those was the 1969 Chevrolet Yenko Nova. There
were only 38 built, and each came with a 450-horsepower 427
cubic-inch V8 under the hood. Yenko called the SC427 Nova "barely
legal at best" and "the wildest thing we ever did."
How wild, exactly? Chevy refused to build a car to this spec
through the COPO program, and COPO built some hairy rides. But, we
have a frame-off restored replica 1971 Yenko Nova have at Skyway
Classics that is just like the originals, only maybe more
potent!
Mechanical Specs
The heart of any Yenko was always the big block Chevy engine, and
this one has it in spades as it is a very built 502 cubic inch
engine with 502 horsepower.
The engine really looks mean too with the chrome open element air
cleaner, black Chevrolet logo valve covers, aluminum heads, hi-rise
performance intake, and performance four-barrel carburetor,
modified ignition system and spark plug wires, long tube headers,
on, performance fuel delivery system, and dual exhaust.
The engine compartment is painted shiny black and our Nova has all
the power going into the modified Chevy Turbo 400 automatic
transmission, B&M Ratchet Shiftier with Reverse Lock Out, 2500
stall convertor, and 12-bolt rear end with 3.73 gears.
The ride is fast and safe too with the Wilwood 4-wheel disc brakes,
5-spoke racing mag wheels with blackwall performance tires and only
approximately 1,400 test miles since the restoration.
Interior
The redone tan interior looks like new and has twin vinyl bucket
seats with the SYC logos in the headrests and matching rear bench
seat, door panels, headliner and carpeting, factory gauge panel and
performance gauges, an SS Steering Wheel, and a black 6-point roll
cage.
Exterior
The 1971 Nova body is painted in a stunning Polo Green Exterior
with the Yenko badges and stripes on its original body panels and
is a sight to be seen.
Take a close look at the chrome, trim, hood vents, blacked-out
grille and rear panel, and you will see the degree of detail put
into this Yenko Nova.
Conclusion
Nothing says muscle car more than a hot-rodded replica 1971 Yenko
Nova like we have at Skyway Classics.
It would be very hard to find a nicer one anywhere in the
country.
