1969 Yenko Nova

[A468BU]

I'm not exactly sure of the horsepower. But it was a 396. I will have to ask my father he knows for sure. They blew the engine in the car I believe within the first 2 weeks of owning the car. I believe it sucked a valve. They called Yenko Chevy and explained to them that they had put headers,4:88 gears and slicks on the car. They told him to put the street tires back on and tow it in. They picked the car back up with a total bill of $2 and some odd change for the oil.

edit
Also forgot to mention it was replace with another 396 engine. I'm pretty sure the heads were also replaced. I remember him say they only reused the intake.

I may have not clicked both post buttons then, my bad. And again I would like to stress that I am not 100% sure that this is the car. Like I said though if my grandfathers name was on the title of this car then it was just a plain ol BB nova. I know my father has some pictures of it around somewhere, I'm goin to see if i can get my hands on them and get them on here.

Pictures would be cool!

I just looked for some and none to be found. Talked with my father and he feels sure that my aunt has some of it. My uncle that owned the car past away 2 years ago. So I am goin to ck with her in hopes of finding some to post here.

Which VIN # car are you referring to?

Do you recall if the intake was aluminum? If so, then it would have been a 396 - 375 HP car.

You should be 100% certain about your information before posting these types of statements on a public forum. If I were the owner of the car I would be very upset. Just my opinion.

I said 4 times I am not sure if that is the car. What I do know is someone told me that they restored the car that has my grandfathers name as the first owner and that its restored as being a yenko. And that this was not the first time this car has been brought up to us about it being a yenko car. First time being years ago.

If I were the owner, I'd be more than upset; I'd be depressed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My $0.02 is Brian has been VERY careful to clarify that his statements pertain only to the car that his uncle purchased and was first titled in his grandfather's name. No one has yet confirmed whether the two cars discussed are in fact one and the same.
