[Antifaith29]

@zacbloseable Probably why the title says replica eh?

[420smokitup]

sweet !!!!

[smithkid1996]

can you take some pics and send them to me, in a few weeks we are going 700 miles to pick up a yenko nova needing restoration, but it is a desert car, so no rust and we are getting it dirt cheap(3,000) because the owner doesn't know what yenko is, so i was hopping you could take some pics, because the nova is the 2nd most rare yenko (number one is the yenko corvair)so getting info isn't very easy.

[mercmarc]

12.5 compression? How do you get the fuel with octane for that?

[MrNova1969]

That's not a '69



[CAPTKELLYify]

The real truth is......that you could order cast Iron, or Aluminm heads on all L-88s (67-69)........Don Yenko



[magster65]

Beautiful car... as is!

[Ryne72]

What size and kind of exhaust do you have? Amazing car by the way

[1973nova454]

Pretty sure none of the yenkos had the l-88 or l-89 they had the l72 corvette engine the l-88 was a corvette engine in the c2 bodys and made in 67-68 and they had aluminum heads. the l72 was the 425hp version.

[ekpd181]

NO he is right, L-88 427 had aluminum heads, solid lift cam & was 12.5:1 But you are right about the 396 option also.

[woodzo40]

totaly bad ass.Just needs painted wheels and dog dish hubcaps though.

[67chevellepost]

awersome nova hopefully soon i can pull my dads old drag car apart and find out whats in it...... its a 427 dated 69 4 bolt main and has the copo camaro or chevelle intake on it..... not bad for a 68 chevy 2 that ran low 6s in the 1/8 in the 70s on a 10 in slick......

[cooldood9999]

thats a 1970 nova look at side marker lights come on get it right

[TrackingPerformance]

[SkidRock088]

I'll say this, that is one beautiful automobile.

[speedyleegarrett]

[The72chevynova]

Very very nice clean Nova. Looks very similar to mine but I do not have the Yenko strips. Is your paint orange flame? Also, what kind of rims do you have I like them alot.

[chihawks31]

There's only one word to say about this car. Awesome !

[metalcorefiend]

what kind of exhaust is on that? the size and the brand/type of muffler. and what is the l88 cam specs? lift and duration?

[the934x4]

@metalcorefiend Base duration of 276/283 degrees measured at 0.015-inch tappet rise. valve lift measures 0.544/0.539 inch on the intake and exhaust lobes, respectively, while the valve lash is kept to a tight 0.012 inch.The lobe separation is ground at 112 degrees.

[the934x4]

[MELMAN109]

[gangstapanda102]

[tony69nova]

Its such a beauty this car turns head, just wondering if this 69 Yenko Nova really comes with 70s side marker lights?

[Sin526]

1969, the pinnacle of America!

[nocturnal63]

Ahhh...what a beaut!!

[MGkings]

Beautiful Car. Great job. Great Year!

[208005278]

That's a sound "sweet" to a street racer's ears!!!!!!!!!!

[ptschafer]

Is this a repro/resto or a true Yenko? Awesome car either way, but just asking...

[JohnKreeseCobraKai]

It's a pesto, spinach.

[Echeque5]

@ptschafer - Clone.

[JUSTINGRIFFIN1991]

amazing...my dream car

[93549john1]

All L-88 had ALUMINUM HEAD, in 1969 they revised the head to an open-chambered with the combustion chambers opened toward the spark plug and the exhaust valve side. they also used aluminum head on L-78 396 and the L-71 427 in 1968,in 1969 only on L-78.

[67chevellepost]

so i take it that cam has the same specs as an l-88 cam??? how well dose it drive i have one and im thinking about using it in my 68 ss chevelle thanks

[IRONMAN000]

that sound NEVER gets old!!!

[foxed76]

Nice Nova! I've got a 68 w/ 396 and same color combo. Your car looks perfect. Nice work.

[grafitti0807]

I wish i had a yenko Nova.. :[[

[hferris21]

Not a '69 model. Look at the side marker lights. This is a 70-72

[douglauraamandadylan]

Awesome sound. What cam / compression/ exhaust system do you have?

[poorboy93]

this is a beast... love this car... wish it was mine...

[strykerfan]

@poorboy93 me too so I could put some real rubber on it

[josh22784lori30]

that is awsome!!!!

[tongli30]

just damn nasty! i love it

[espartan117bungie]

Ese yenko es increible son maquinas super poderosas AMERICAN MUSCLE congratulations my friend.

[Musclexeatsximports]

you have to love the american v8s no european v8 or jap car will ever sound 1/3 this good. great car!!

[t239]

Amazing car.

[katiecakers42]

I like at the end where you see the flag reflecting on the deck lid. Would be a really cool paint scheme!!!

[2006tour]

L88's were iron head. You are thinking of an L89 which was Aluminum heads. This car is just a 396 with an L88 cam. Thanks for looking.

[Dummerd]

Huge cam for a 396. L-88 specs are: .567/.580 264/269 @ .050.

[mortyok3]

L88's were aluminum heads with the hotter cam, 850 carb, higher compression, rated 430 hp (ha,ha). The L89 option was aluminum heads on an otherwise stock 396-375 and 427-435.

[RicerEater1978]

@2006tour why no zl1? :(

[10mak01]

@Jaraddeans Here's what I think I know.... L89 is just a tri power

L71 w/ aluminum heads. L88 is a higher performance engine which also was equipped w/ aluminum heads (open chambered (Hemi)). ZL1 was basically the same as an L88 except it had an aluminum block as well.

[thehouserocker]

The best of all the Yenkos! a souped-up "grandma" car that was made into a killer that would eat alive anything that would dare challenge it at a stop light! simply bad ass!!!

[sftballchik96]

man thats a bad ass car...i love nova's there one of my favorites...i have 1968 Chevy Nova with a Chevy 589 in it....that car is bad but this car will make that car piss its fuel injectors...mine does the quater in about 7.126 sec...thats the fastest ive ever done it...and that was at Bakersfield speedway in Cali

[lxJCxl]

really nice dude !!!!!

[Eddiemotor]

Really nice car, i like the orange paint combined with the black roof and stripes:)

[DylanR2008]

thats a sweet car i love the soft top and the stripes and a 427 oh boy! Novas are one of my favorites.

[joser7299]

god your car is beautiful!!

[djTEm0]

owning all the original chevy car yenko editions would be hell of nicer than owning a ferrari or lamborghini

[herbienbrian]

@djTEm0

aint it the truth!

[bigphreaking]

@djTEm0 You said it brother.

[Cybergig00]

@djTEm0 I love Ferrari's, Lambo's, Astons, & Zondas.....yet i can't help but agree with you 1000%

[Clos21591]

@djTEm0 Agreed!

[toypaseo2004]

one word NICE

[kbess228]

L-88 427ci motors have aluminum heads.. solid lifters, 12.5 :1 ....etc

[2006tour]

Sorry, but you are wrong. You are thinking the L89 option, which is a 396/375 with Aluminum heads.

[peter355camaro]

you could also have the L-71 427 with the L-89 option. and there where some L-89 headed L-88's too. in corvettes

[10mak01]

@2006tour Actually kbess228 is right the L88 427 had aluminum open chambered heads which accounts for the high compression. But you're also right about the L89 396cid motor. The engine codes get confusing w/ the 427's and 396's because there were so many different ones. The L88 was the highest h.p. engine made except for maybe the ZL1 all aluminum 427.

[TheOriginalGoldy]

@2006tour Actually kbess is right, the L-88 was the aluminum head version. The L-72 was the cast iron 427

[Chewwy153qt]

@2006tour Early models were cast then changed over to Aluminum.

[slammed1984]

@2006tour I'm pretty sure the L-88 had aluminum heads, first came out in 67'

[peanuttization]

@2006tour Dont know your stuff ,,,huh?

[carbide007]

@2006tour Nope. The L-88 427 did have aluminum heads. That was the most defining aspect of the engine. Also with it's 12.5:1 compression

[carbide007]

@2006tour Nope. The L-88 427 did have aluminum heads. That was the most defining aspect of the engine. Also with it's 12.5:1 compression

[camirocz]

@2006tour l89 is a 427!!!!!!!!!

[brettt777]

@2006tour Uhhhh if memory serves (I could be wrong, I am over 50 now) the L-89 option was just the aluminum heads, not the engine, and you could get it on the 427 also. I am also thinking that the L-88 did come with aluminum heads standard, but not sure on that.

[lovenmovies]

that thing is mint!!!

[EdMiF]

God bless the L88!

[crzzymnn911]

haha i guess i have never heard anyone ask god to bless a car. lol

[displayfireworks1]

I grew up in the town where these were made.Just a small place. The building is still there. I always love that Nova.Right across the street was the last Mercury only dealer in the United States.I believe his last year was 2000.Don't we all wish it was 1969 again for automobiles.I was only 12 years old then.

[TWBouska]

i sure do, i love just about all muscle and classics, instead of paying 10 grand for a 1st gen camaro rolling body, you could by a road runner, chevelle, and mustang fastback...if only i would have been born in 58 instead of 88...(sigh)

[JoeRapstar]

@displayfireworks1 i wish it was 1969 again and these cars were being made and im only 19 now

[ShmeegleSon]

@displayfireworks1 hell ya buddy

[ezcondition]

beautiful car! i love those Nova's

[crams1999]

that is my dream car

[Guitarwannabee]

Gorgeous, I run the L-88 cam in my 454 nova, with 456's it pulls hard all the way through the traps, Great GM cam
