1969 Chevrolet Nova SS Yenko Tribute in Concord, North Carolina

This 1969 Chevrolet Nova is exactly what you want in a muscle car. It has a mean stance, great paint, and HUGE power. Plus, it's a worthy tribute to one of the meanest names in COPO Chevys around: Yenko. But you can get all of this Yenko SS fierceness for a fraction of the price.


This Nova is a serious contender from every angle. Up front is the SS badge on the intimidating blacked-out grille, and the custom hood with power bulge. Plus, the torque thrust wheels give this perfect profile with a hint of aggressive forward-leaning stance. But what really has you sold is the full paint package. There is a slickness to the burnt orange that tells you there has been a nice investment in a professional application. It has all the slickness of an orange Tootsie Pop...and the striping package is like the chocolate center. Not only does the Yenko stripe package pay tribute to the best performance dealer Chevrolet ever had, but it also looks great against the premium black vinyl roof.


This car wants to be intimidating at every stoplight, and you feel that in the interior, too. The black on the dash, door panels, carpeting, and high-back buckets seats is deep and dark enough to hold its menacing appearance. As you slip behind the grippy SS wheel, you'll instantly feel the tingle of power. After all, features like large AutoMeter Phantom tach w/shift light, starter box, and Hurst Quarter Stick line-lock shifter are all clear indications of something fierce under the hood... And that's even before you push the start button and hear this one roar to life.


There has been a nice investment making sure the drive train is as close to a true Yenko tribute by having a performance 427 big block filling the engine bay. This ZZ427 crate V8 is a more modern motor that was installed in 2013. It features all the right performance upgrades, including a Holley four-barrel carburetor, GM aluminum intake, aluminum heads, electric fuel pump, an aluminum radiator, and long tube headers. Getting all this power to the ground is a stout 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission that feeds an LPW Ultimate 12-bolt rear end. The total package is rated around 430 horsepower, and the dual exhaust certainly lets the world know about your power superiority. But don't just listen to its thunderous roar; take some time to look at its path in the undercarriage photos. There you'll spot some more great upgrades like front disc brakes, QA1 shock absorbers, and traction bars.


This is that perfect kind of Yenko tribute that follows all the rules correctly. Best of all, it holds the looks like a treasured rarity without the apprehension or six-figure price tag. That's why we know this cool coupe is a fleeting opportunity. Call now!!
