that is beautiful! i would like to get my hands on a 67 convertible chevelle!

[GAMike]

Yours Marty? Wow! Yenko Nova....... Rare is not an accurate description for these cars. Nice find!!!

[LANDY]

im drooling over here, very nice car.
i would wake up and eat my cereal in the garage every morning just to look at that car .

And yet my wife thinks I am an idiot for constantly looking in the garage!!!!!!

[Black_Noise]

very nice!!!!

[guspech750]

Wow!! Thats awesome!! Is that the real deal Yenko Nova? Not that it matters. A nieghbor down the street from me has a Yenko Nova. I have only seen him take it out 3 times in the 5+ years I have lived here.

[wickedmerc]

Wow!! Thats awesome!! Is that the real deal Yenko Nova?

I thought Yenko only did '70 Novas. They were high-revving LT1 350's, not 427's. A COPO Nova could possibly have a 427. Either way, awesome car!! Very jealous. :drool: Congratulations and good luck!
If that's a real Yenko motor, that some serious bucks. Someone who has a real Yenko Camaro or Chevelle would pay a pretty penny for that sucker.:coolman:

I think Yenko only built a handful 427 Novas in 1969 only. Wasnt 1970 the first year of the 454 as the 427 wasnt available in 1970? I think any Yenko Novas built after 69 had the 350.

[Mr. Man]

Where's the Baldwin that should be sitting next to it?

[martyo]

Is that the real deal Yenko Nova? Not that it matters.

It is not.

The car had Yenko trim on the hood and seats and I stripped all of it off. I liked the valve covers too much to take them off.

It is a real LS7 car with a 5 speed backing it up.

The car is a bad boy though and I love it.

It rides and drives like new.

With the polyglas tires you can make some serioussmoke on demand!!

I put this car in my upper garage with my other favorites '93 Cobra and '79 C10 -- which I drove 150 miles yesterday).

Cars are like crack for me!!!

[martyo]

Where's the Baldwin that should be sitting next to it?

I only wish!!!!

Why hello there, Sleepy Sleeperton! Dog dish hubcaps, 427 hiding under the hood, nice.

Yep.

There were some flashy wheels on it when I got my hands on it. They are in storage now until I get them sold.

[Cobra25]

Cool car Marty. I say this, Your a Lucky Guy !

I like the rims on your blue pick up, what are they American Racing Classics? I want either them or the "poverty caps" look for my old Chev. If I do the sidepipes, I'll go with the five-spokes like on your truck. If not, widened stock Chevy steelies out back with hubcaps all around. Damn, your Nova is causing me to want to spend money, take the pictures down lol.

Thanks!

And to think, I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth!

Yes they are Americans. The wheel of choice for most of my cars!

Keep this in mind: Cars are like ladies and ladies NEED more than one pair of shoes. So, for example, my black '69 Nova has the original SS wheels and a set of Americans, my '66 Shaggin' Wagon, has a set of steelies and a set of Americans..... See where I am going with this?

That's right, forgot about the wagon, love that thing. :beer:
Your spouse doesn't mind you having 2 of some vehicles? Marauders, Novas, etc?

[Pops]

Nice car Marty! I know how you feel about the wheels. I just bought a set of steelies for the Bolt. Need to have a pair of them widened and a set of Pie crust slicks for it. Just need Mo Money!!!:D

[SC Cheesehead]

And yet my wife thinks I am an idiot for constantly looking in the garage!!!!!!


Now I KNOW your wife and mine are related... ;)

Oh yeah, almost forgot, SWEET car, Marty! :2thumbs:

[martyo]

Your spouse doesn't mind you having 2 of some vehicles? Marauders, Novas, etc?

she calls it all "stuff" as in "Now what stuff did you buy?" and "what are you going to do with all that stuff???"

* There is no scorn font so I highlighted the word instead. :argue:

[martyo]

Pie crust slicks

I love me some pie!!!!

[RacerX]

And yet my wife thinks I am an idiot for constantly looking in the garage!!!!!!
You just may be... Pics of the wife please? :D J/K! That's a nice piece of history!

[Egon Spengler]

That thing looks nice!
My dad's '69 Nova 427 sez hai!

Well, you may possibly be an idiot for other reasons :) but not for that. We are all in awe of your garage and will defend your sanity forever for having it !!

[Mike M]

I really like Novas, I had 3 but none as nice as that one. I added a car to my collection but now I am embarrassed to post a picture after seeing that Nova.

If I showed you some of the cars that I have that are waiting on love, you would not be embarassed.

Post up the pics man!!!

[rayjay]

She's a beaut Marty a Beaut! Now, why aren't you and the Mrs living in Pago Pago, in a grass hut on the beach, sipping you favorite adult beverages, where clothing is optionally year round for a living?

Yeah what happened to the green car? It was Comet or something? Fairlane? Looked straight and un-rusty.

The Fairlane is still a work in (slow) progress.

[Pops]

Here you go Marty! This should get the blood flowing!

[Pops]

Hope it worked this time! This is what we were talking about the other day

[TAKEDOWN]

I like your style!

[martyo]

Other than the distributor being on the wrong end of the motor, it looks good!!! :D

I picked it up a few weeks ago, original owner-extremely clean-low mileage-all options (Head Up Display etc.). I just did the rotors and and painted the calipers and I am in the process of changing out the run flats. I did a few other exterior mods as well. Not my first color choice but it is growing on me. We plan on getting a C6 this summer but when this came along we could not say no.

[jflave]

WOW nice car Marty, glad to see you enjoying life. :)

Are your cars at the shop, Marty?

[martyo]

Are your cars at the shop, Marty?

Nope.

3 are in teh garage at the house (the pics above are in that garage), some are in my personal shop at the other end of the property, and a few are scattered around Georgia. :help:

Sandy buggies Marty, with monster engines! You could start a whole new business.

sounds like a business trip is in order!!

Is that a regular Cobra or a Cobra-R??? Not a big fan of Novas, but any car with a 427 gives me a warm and fuzzy.
