1970 Chevy Yenko Duece Nova: Muscle Car Of The Week Video Episode #204

My first two cars were Nova's a 72 with 250, and 71 SS 350, ran low 14.2@97mph, not too bad for car with only 9.5:1 compression with a pair of 2.02 camel hump head and an aggressive street cam. I painted it a loud hugger orange. It was faster than than a stock 396\350 SS, which at the time was pretty impressive. It's had a nice loppy idle that I miss to this day. I had plans to drop a 454 in her but life got and money got in the way. I love that yellow on this car, Mazda in 93' made yellow called competition yellow mica (CYM) that is a similar shade, with a pearl in it that I think is the hottest yellow ever put on a car. Still I with black, I mean you can't really go wrong with pure black car.

Amazing nova! Love it!

That's one hot nova sharp cool in yellow thanks for sharing.

Gosh! Would be such a fun daily driver even today!

What a cool and fun car!!

i Bought a 1970 350 ci Nova Blue it was Not a Yenko but it was a Super Freak, i got it from the Original owner in 1973, i was 16 yr old, my friends brother in law sold it to me, it had 27,000 miles on it, he said Not to drive it at night because it had a short some where, the head lights will go on and off, he wanted $625. for it, it's what he owe on it , i only had $500. so i borrowed the rest from my aunt, i went to pick it up the next day and he said he talked it over with his wife & they didn't want to sale it to me because he did Not want my Dad coming over and getting mad because of the short, My heart sank, i told him that would not happen, Anyway i got it for the first week i only drove it in the day then another friend of mine asked why the head lights go on & off, i said i have to find someone that can help me fix it,, His older brother came over and checked it out, it was a headlight switch and an engine ground had a bad wire, it cost me $ 40.00 to fix it, That Car was so Fast but everyone said the reason it was so fast is because it was a small car with a 350 V8 in it, i really didn't know about the Facts of the 1970 Chevy High performance engine's until a year or so after i sold it, i had it until 1976 when i bought a 1974 Pontiac Grand Prix with a 455 ci, One of many Classic's i had back in the day, Now if you want a nice car it's like buying a house, My dad bought a 1972 Cutlass brand new for $3,200, i tell younger people about how much i paid for nice cars in the early 70s and they say No Way... Only if i knew back then what i know now .... LOL well don't we all .... AWESOME YENKO

Thought of a story about some guys buying every muscle car and sending them all to China , nightmare rather , now China sends us almost all out musclecar repo parts, another reality, which got me out of the game. We need more musclecar parts makers here. seems sad to put a chinese fender or bumper on a Chevy
