Default Re: Ultra Rare '70 COPO 427 Nova

Thanks! I guess I'm just picky about those things. I've had four Novas over the years, and my current toy is a '70 Nova SS 396/350hp car. To the best of my knowledge, it appears to have the original factory setup (motor, trans, rear, interior).

Just like you folks with the SuperCars, when I take an interest in something, I try to learn all of the little details that I can. So, based on my interests, I pay attention to the '68-'72 vintage Novas.

I'd love to get one of those prized Yenko Novas, but don't see that happening anytime. My first goal would be to simply ride in or drive one.

Allen;
I have been working on mine for 4.5 years now, and like you have never driven, or driven in, a '70 Yenko Nova! I have probably seen as many, or more, of these '70 Yenkos as anyone, but have never been able to sneak a ride yet. It has always been; bad weather, still a project, at a show, ect... The closest I have gotten was Dave Belk holding a video camera on his sholder while driving his. It looks like I will have to finish mine first!

If you ever want to part with your '70 396/350hp to get into a Yenko Nova, let me know. There are always cars for sale, ('70's that is).

I suspect that the cash difference to change from my SS396 Nova to a Yenko would still be somewhat significant.

Here are a couple of pics that are hosted on a Nova website.

Someday, I'll learn how to type that so that it is actually a clickable link.

What are the details on your Yenko Nova? Well, I guess the primary variable is the color, since most were optioned the same (drivetrain, interior, exterior badging, etc). Do you have the original drivetrain?

Thanks for the details!
