1969 Chevrolet Yenko Nova - $852,500

29,454 miles. 1 of only 38 Yenko Novas produced for 1969. Sold new at Yenko Chevrolet in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania. Comprehensive restoration. L72 427/450 HP V-8 engine. M21 4-speed manual transmission. 12-bolt rear end. F41 heavy-duty suspension. Power brakes with front discs. Heavy-duty cooling system with upgraded radiator.
Car was powered by a 427/450 HP L72 V-8, factory-installed under Chevrolet’s Central Office Production Order program for dealer Don Yenko. It was the most dangerous car Don Yenko ever built. Brutally overpowered and underweight, the car was dangerous in the hands of most.
Yenko commissioned 99 Chevelles equipped with the monster 450hp engine. He also opted to produce a short-run version of the Nova with the same mill. 38 compacts rolled out, including this Fathom Green coupe. The car changed hands at Mecum.
