Unlike most other Yenko Nova tribute vehicles, this vehicle was modeled after two of the only real 1969 Yenko Novas believed to be in existence today. These were displayed at the yenko.net Supercar Reunion in Collinsville, IL. This vehicle was restored to closely resemble a true 1969 Yenko Nova. Yenko enthusiasts will quickly spot the details of this recreation.

The engine starts and runs beautifully. The transmission is a TH350 automatic, casting number 8640820, shifted by a Hurst promatic ratcheting single gate floor shifter. Nice firm shifts.
This car was restored and built to be a super nice car that can be used as a driver. There are small bodywork imperfections and other details that are not true Yenko componets.
The engine as well as the vehicle wears all of the correct 427 emblems, though the actual engine displaces 454 CI, with a casting number of 361959. It has an Edelbrock performer 2-0 intake manifold (PN2161), which appears similar to the correct Winter's Foundry aluminum intake manifold for this vehicle. It has an Edelbrock 1405 600cfm square bore, manual choke carburetor. The vehicle has a 10 bolt rearend. The carb/intake, automatic trans, and engine displacement differ from original Yenko equipment.
The vehicle has an Indiana state title with a Rebuilt vehicle branding. This is not a Salvage vehicle or salvage title. It is an extremely nice ride and definitely grabs attention!
