Very nice car. Pissed me off seeing the comments picking out flaws; lets see what they're driving. You've certainly put a lot of hard work and time into it. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Better to be pissed off than pissed on. You and your boyfriend can walk over to that table over there for your participation trophy cupcake.

Awsome car, love Novas but this one is one the best I have seen, congrats.

[@hades.97]

Small, simple, but with a BIG ASS ENGINE. Truly a Muscle Car! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@freedomrider266]

Based on today's standards, you're right....But back in 60s/70s when I grew up, the definition of a muscle car was mid-size, simple, cram the biggest engine you could into it!

[@martin2560]

Uh. One of my very favorite car's of all time. What a total man toy. Love it. I don't think I could ever sell it.

[@wesleymarkmusic403]

Really love the color combination. Nice!!

[@kmas8229]

If I had a time-machine I'd travel back to 1972 and pick out one of these, have it shipped to Norway along with some good go-fast-farts and other good stuff and have it all hermetically sealed. And then travel back and get the car going again in this day and age. My dreamcar. Right there. Absolutely love it. If I had one just like this (Or black) I'd just cruise during the summer with my girl and just enjoy a car from what seems to be a simpler (and better??) time.

Looks like it is a clone, they never had that hood, and the stripes were never like that. A Yenko Deuce ZL1 427 in 1968 ( It is believed that only 15-25 SS 427-powered 1968 Novas were sold by Harrell through a network of Chevrolet dealerships, each of which included a full limited warranty) would not look like this. Baldwin/Motion Performance sidepipe-equipped machines produced by Joel Rosen of Motion Performance in conjunction with Baldwin Chevrolet were nothing short of awesome. For around $3,600, each model had the 396 engine removed and, in its place was stuffed a more potent 450-horse 427 Rat motor. It also was delivered with a Muncie close-ratio four speed, Positraction rear end with re-welded spring perches, wide F-70x14 tires, dual exhaust, SS 427 emblems, chrome valve covers and air cleaner, modified 7500 rpm ignition, heavy-duty radiator, power front disc brakes, full dyno tune and factory warranty. For a mere $1,200 more, there was a healthier version available that featured a 500-horse engine, Super-Bite suspension, a large three-barrel Holley carb and special aluminum intake manifold, modified Mallory ignition system, dual electric fuel pumps, tuned equal-length headers, fiberglass hood scoop, racing clutch and aluminum flywheel encased in a competition-approved scattershield. Needless to say, these cars were the epitome of street performance. Nickey Chevrolet was by far the largest of the auto dealers involved in selling aftermarket performance cars during its heyday. In fact, if you wanted speed parts, you simply walked next door to Nickey's own speed shop. But, as is often the case with larger businesses, exact information is hard to come by regarding Nickey's potent lineup of Novas. It's certain, however, that the dealership produced 427-powered Novas prior to 1970 that were a handful on the street and at the track. ABOUT THIS CAR IN THE VIDEO (link... www.artandspeed.com/vehicles/137/1968-chevrolet-nova-zl1-427 )... The Ultimate Phantom COPO - Nova SS 427 ZL1 With genuine ZL1 1969 Camaros and Yenko Deuce Nova prices hitting the stratosphere, these special cars seem almost unobtainable for most of us. But take a close look at this very special Nova! This Nova SS 427 ZL1 was built as a phantom car, combining the best of both of its ancestors in a car that GM never built, but should have. A very special car indeed. This special Nova is powered by one of GM's limited edition, all aluminum 427 ZL1 crate engines. With only a limited number produced, this engine is almost as rare as the original ZL1s! Backed by a Doug Nash 4-speed transmission, and 12 bolt 3.73 rear, this Nova means serious business. Faithfully restored to represent a big block SS Nova, this car has all the right components including factory bucket seats and console, professionally refurbished factory SS gauges, 200MPH speedometer, factory fast-ratio steering, and more. Beautifully finished in Chevrolet Redline Red with black vinyl roof and black SS stripes (under clear coat), this car is stunning. With all new chrome, factory SS wheels and Goodyear Polyglass raised letter tires, this monster looks like its sitting on the Chevrolet showroom. Find out how to make this one of a kind Nova yours.

Looking at those gauges, it looks like it'll pass everything but the gas station and do so at incredible speed. Especially since its a nova. I love novas, don't get me wrong, but 200 mph? That's gotta be Canadian or custom. Everyone already mentioned the door, and the exhaust tips, so how about that selling price? 40 grand sound like a good start?

A 1968 Nova with 1968 miles on the odometer ? what are the odds on that ? It's out of gas, no A/C, and the rims look like they came off a Firebird. It says it has a 427 in too many spots. Get add on A/C, put rally rims on it, put the original hood back on, and fill up the tank. Other than that, nice ride.

It isn't advertised as a Yenko Nova. I just found this car online. It has a 200mph speedo and it is a USA car. A previous owner built it with a ZL-1, the speedo and other parts. Notice the double alternator pulley? It is advertised as having that mileage. Who knows if it is accurate?

[@bobbrinkerhoff3592]

Too bad that every last one of the 37 Yenko 427 Novas left the factory as SS 396/375 cars . Also Yenko wasn't the only dealership that was building 427 Novas back then , ever hear of Berger in Grand Rapids , Michigan , Nickey in Chicago , Baldwin Motion in Long Island , Dana Chevrolet in California, or Fred Gibbs in La Harpe , Illinois ? Fred Gibbs ordered the first fifty 'of the '69 ZL/1 Camaros , while Yenko was playing with the cast iron cars .
