I am in the market for a good solid driver car that doesn't really need anything. Not perfect or a trailer queen - just something that looks and runs great and is as period correct as reasonably possible. I've been looking for a 1968 GTO for quite a while and haven't had much luck finding what I want for the money I want to spend. As a result, I broadened my search to 1968-1970 Novas because I’ve always loved them. About a week ago I stumbled upon a Yenko Nova clone that should be ready for sale in the next couple of weeks. The owner is a car restorer and is finishing up a few things (i.e. replacing parts of the interior to make it all black, intake manifold & carb, new poly wide-ovals, etc.) to make it more period correct and more like the real deal Yenko. He has assured me that it runs well now and that it also will when he gets the new intake & carb on it. The engine is a 1974 4-bolt main 350 out of a pickup truck and was rebuilt about 5 years ago. I know nothing about the tranny or gears. My guess is that it's a TH350. From what I can tell, the one big problem with the car is the interior. The other thing that scares me a bit is the underside of the car. It looks like someone got under there with a rattle can and did a poor job of painting everything black, including the damn gas tank. Things like that make me question whether the rest of this thing was done shoddy.

Here are some pics of it. I would really appreciate y'all giving me the good, the bad and the ugly keeping in mind the asking price is $18,500.00. Thanks.
