Vehicle Description
This 1969 Nova SS is one of the most unique cars we have ever had.
It has some of the coolest provenance that you could imagine.Think
of owning a car that both the biggest name in big block power and
one of the most widely known names in creating race engines
collaborated on...Don Yenko and Grumpy Jenkins. This car started
life as a 396/375 hp 4 speed car which was bought new at Yenko
Chevrolet in Canonsburg Pa. Then in 1982 the current owner of the
69 decided he wanted his car 'Yenko-ized' but with lots of extra
muscle. That is when Don Yenko sent the engine to Jenkins
Competition...that's right Bill 'Grumpy' Jenkins built the engine.
The power plant that currently sits in this 1969 Nova is a genuine
Can-Am spec 447 cubic-inch all aluminum Chevy big-block with a host
of light weight aluminum goodies. ZL-1 camshaft...13:1 compression
producing an estimated 550-600 horsepower. There is documentation
that records the VIN of the Nova and the serial number on the block
from both Yenko and Jenkins which certify that this engine was
indeed put together by Grumpy's competition shop. The M22 4 speed
transmission is also a Jenkins item and the 4.30 Positraction
rearend will guarantee that this cool little Nova gets off the line
in stellar fashion. The Plain-Jane interior with its bench seat and
standard issue factory floor shift does nothing to give away what's
under the hood. Rounding out the package are Cragar S/S wheels and
'slapper' style Lakewood traction bars. This car has had an
extensive and correct restoration being very aware of the car's
unique and rare historical significance. How many more instances of
a collaboration between Don Yenko and Bill Jenkins are there out
there in the car world?...Can't be very many...Here's your chance
to own a historically significant automobile that would be a rare
addition to anyone's collection. We've seen Jenkins and Yenko cars
going for well over $250000. We are motivated to sell so if you are
a true collector call and make us an offer. CONSIDERING ALL
