I love when he rolls into the throttle at 4:10 and the nose starts lifting up. I miss those days of real raw power when you actually had to drive a car and if you weren't careful, you wrecked it. The car makes some awesome sounds.
That is one of the nicest cars (classic) I've seen....somebody has spent a lot of time and damn sure a lot of money. ..detail like that doesn't come easy....many late nights ...lots of sweat. ..yenko or not ..its a nova...a damn nice ass car period. ...one I would be proud to own
An old engine builder trick is to cut a groove in the top inside of the lifter bore, top to bottom, so that oil drips down on the camshaft and prevents flat spotting your cam lobes. You lose a little oil pressure but your camshaft lives.
Back in 70,we had a 402 Nova .030 over 408,Manley 12.5-1 pistons Crower 580,580 320 duration cam,lots of machine work,suspension work etc etc.Topped with a Weiand 2-4V tunnel ram,Holley 660 carbs 11 in slicks w/Moroso front drag tires--car ran 10.80s..Your car sounded just like ours with closed headers I miss the car,had lots of fun Thanks for sharing that
This is my favorite video I've done to date. I got to bang gears in it! I'm usually the one doing the filming. You'll know the scene I'm talkin' about! I was trying to keep it from breaking the tires loose. That 427 was wicked in this custom Nova. - Samspace81 #nova #beastmode
***** I was caught fibbing!! No, its a Yenko type Tribute car, just a killer killer Nova. That's my buddy Brents business, Fast440 here close to Sunnyvale, Texas.
Don Yenko converted a whole bunch of cars, not just Camaros. He had Yenko Chevelles, Yenko Novas, Yenko Camaros, even Yenko Corvairs. Pretty neat stuff. May not be factory original (Correct me if I am wrong) but still sweet as hell to have such a high horsepower motor in a tiny car.
I like it too. As for a genuine Yenko Nova 427 there are only 7 to 9 in existence. A garnet red one with a black vinyl top completely original sold for $300,000.
I think the clone/tribute idea is the better option...it looks & runs like the rare original, but you can beat on it & not feel like you're devaluing/mileing up/abusing the investment/rarity of owning the real thing!
Yea, those 427 nova's built by Yenko are the most rare of his supercars , and for good reason. The nasty big rat was really too much for a stock body nova and actually quite dangerous according to don yenko himself. It was something like 0-60 in a tick over 3 seconds with all kinds of body and suspension twisting going on. Hairy ride.
I'm curious. What did you Folks have to do to prepare those Nova Frames/Suspensions to handle the HP of the 427s? A Buddy of mine put a strong 327 small block in one of these Cars and the first time he really nailed it from a standing start, the Car literally twisted the real Leaf Spring into a Pretzel and did a real number on what was left of the rear bodywork. Maybe I can answer my own Question here and say 400 hp was too much for a single leaf rear suspension especially w/o Frame Connectors.
You'd need a 4 door nova with poverty caps, bench seat, column shift. With a 1970s compass on the dash. My great grandma had a green on green nova like that (with a 307 or some little lo-po v8). Except hers was a coupe. Right now it's rotting behind my uncle's house.
God that thing sounds monstrous! Yenko's are just badass. I love that whine sound too. Beautiful paint job, and I love the video transitions you did as well!
@DimebagCFH4Life You can hardly compare a mass factory assembled STi to this hand-blocked, painted, and assembled Nova, restored to spec. and beyond. Its balanced and blueprinted forged high compession 427, Muncie 4-speed, aftermarket clutch and built 12-bolt posi-trac rear end to that boosted, depreciating, plastic interior, trouble code throwing import. .
I hope this car was not passed off as a real Yenko. It is a very nice car but highly unlikely to be real. No Yenko striping or badging, Yenko's never had a cowl hood. The engines were 450 hp not 460. Yenko tried to limit colors to Garnet Red, Fathom green, Rally green, or LeMans blue.
I totally agree with you there Rob not a real Yenko. Fake fake fake. This is another use car salesman praying on the ignorance of any would be buyer. But aside from the bull shit it is a very nice Nova.
Yenko built a total of 38 427/450 horse 69 & 70 Nova's. It's said that only 10 survive. They where all based on 396 cars as the heavy duty suspension was already installed.My guess is that in that a short wheelbase car with 450 HP tends to go off the road in a BIG way.... Approximate value? I saw one at Barrett Jackson with a pre-auction estimate of 350 to 400K. I don't know if it sold.
Yenko didn't build any big block Novas for 1970 , they were all LT1 powered Yenko Deuces . Short wheelbase , at 111 inches it's three more than a Camaro .
I know the L88 was 427/430hp and was very under rated. also gm had restrictions to order a L88 like no radio , no heater core , heavy duty susp. the L71 was 427/435hp. But I am no expert on Yenko , I am just a huge fan. In my opinion they had the best muscle cars of the late 60's hands down. Yenko was into making crazy fast cars , they could have swapped intakes and carbs. Again your lucky to own your nova, it will eat corvettes all day from the same generation.
Lived in Forney Texas for 4 years and drove by your place nearly every day and would always see some SWEET lookin Hot Rods sittin around the front shop. Cool vid man!
Right up there. My buddy back in the day, had about the same set up. His had an L-88 in it, M-22 and 5:13 gears. Cortez Silver with black interior. No console either. The torque was unbelievable. I would take this Nova over any car i've seen on you tube.
I thought I saw that nova on eBay awhile back. It was actually on eBay as a yenko. Very nice ride I thought about selling almost everything I had at the time for it. But then came to my senses.
@ModernMuscleHead yes sir! I don't know the specs or I'd post them for you. I shifted it fast because it wasn't my car, didn't want to abuse it. I love this video because I film all these cars and I DROVE this one in the hard shifting scene :)
No matter what cubic inches are under a chevy hood. The Muncie whine will always draw the attention. Lol. Nice ride. Love the color. Mine is the burnt poly ( or doo doo brown ) gm fleet color from 69.
Beautiful Nova man. Absolutely. I have a 73 hatch back but I don't have the cash right now to do what I want to it, so just waiting. Seeing your car makes me know keeping mine is worth the wait.
Nice car . Yenkos had the stinger hood , YSC head rests and door panel call outs and stripe kit . Decals on the valve covers doesn't make it a Yenko tribute or clone . 427 sounds healthy.
reminds me of a 69 Deuce that a guy in my neighborhood had,Slate Grey,396-375.it wasn't fast enough so L-88 101/2 wrinklewalls,5,38's cammed it up and went street racing.won some good money.scary fast and the cops finally shut him down.that was in 1972.he ran the 1/4 on the national record.Ahhhhhh the good old days!
Greatt car, brother. Not as loud as she should be, though. You need to get a glass pak, but make it so the car is real quite on the inside and loud on the outside. Then, throw some dumpers in her, so when you want, you could open 'em up, and the cabin will be filled with the sound of a big ol' monsterous V8.
You're right, there's no subframe connectors or strut braces. In the Yenko directory, there's more than 7. I counted 23. They did LT1's in 1970 as well. I turned down $550k for both. Two different appraisals by top name dealers put the nova's value at $350k+ The Camaro is worth $100k more. A popular Canadian company wet themselves when they saw them, but they just low balled me. I have a Mach 1 429 SCJ 4 speed & a '65 GT-350 as well, I invested in Iron Stocks.
Love the car don't get me wrong but a lot of little things are wrong 1 the marker lights would be clear not orange 2 The Yenko always had a tachometer either in a console or dash but either way it looks and sounds great
4seconds,probably with slicks back then, at the most, with modern timing equipment. That number came from don yenko himself. Supercars of today and the high performance cars from back then are on different planets. One uses high tech sophistication, the other uses pure brute force.
427 Nova would run 10.80's right off the showroom floor.Insurance companies killed the fun and refused to insure them.Fastest 427 cars built in the day.
I would replace that Vic Jr. with a performer RPM air gap. A lot more lower rpm torque with little to no high HP loss. Cool video though kept me waiting for a smoke show lol.
That ain't no Grandma's Nova! Still would love to find one of those to stick one of my big blocks into it! Those cowl hood look great on those cars. Hey! I think I said that before....Dejaview?
That is weird. I got them unrestored in 1980 from the original owner. The air cleaners are triangular with 427/435HP decals on them. The original window stickers state L88 on both cars. They are solid lifter aluminum head 427's. Fortunately the original owner lives nearby. I want to know more about them. I have tons of documents from Yenko
engine braking like you should GOOD! let them horses sing everyone a song! i heard either the clutch or the tires squeak at 4:19 from that downshift haha shes a beauty! wish i owned one, id keep it in prestine condition just like it is now
thats because it was an 84 after 72 they tamed them down for emissions purposes, and fuel mileage, i know i think it was the 440 that by 1978 only had 180hp whereas in 1970 it had 425
Very clean super-nice car - but failed to see the "Hell Raising." A Sunday drive on back roads granny shiftin' the entire time. yawn. I call click bait subject line...
Yea every time he gets on it just a little bit he immediately down shifts. With 4:10 gears what did he get it up to....60-65...and then down shifts hard and slides the back tires like oh shit I was almost speeding.
my dad had a 1969 nova with a factory 396 “375” horse motor with an aluminum manifold with a four barrel carb 4 speed on the floor .. the 375 horse was bs my dad said it was more 425 horse ..
I don't think it's real. When it showed the air cleaner, it said "427 Turbojet 460 HP". All Yenkos used the L-72 427 rated (underated) at 425 HP. I believe the only factory Chevy big block rated at 460 HP was the 1970 LS6 Corvette (the 1970 LS6 Chevelle was rated at 450 HP) and I am not even sure any of those were produced.
I love when he rolls into the throttle at 4:10 and the nose starts lifting up. I miss those days of real raw power when you actually had to drive a car and if you weren't careful, you wrecked it. The car makes some awesome sounds.
Finally someone in a video that actually can shift a 4 speed while running it. Nice car love it. I had a 73 wish it ran like yours.
That is one of the nicest cars (classic) I've seen....somebody has spent a lot of time and damn sure a lot of money. ..detail like that doesn't come easy....many late nights ...lots of sweat. ..yenko or not ..its a nova...a damn nice ass car period. ...one I would be proud to own

Back in 70,we had a 402 Nova .030 over 408,Manley 12.5-1 pistons
Crower 580,580 320 duration cam,lots of machine work,suspension
work etc etc.Topped with a Weiand 2-4V tunnel ram,Holley 660 carbs
11 in slicks w/Moroso front drag tires--car ran 10.80s..Your car sounded just like ours with closed headers
I miss the car,had lots of fun
Thanks for sharing that
Damn. All that time and effort for 10.80s..? Nowadays that happens with less cubes, less cam and one carb. Sorry your engine sucked back then, dude
I grew up in the town where these were made. The building is still there. Nice to see these cars still around
This is my favorite video I've done to date. I got to bang gears in it! I'm usually the one doing the filming. You'll know the scene I'm talkin' about! I was trying to keep it from breaking the tires loose. That 427 was wicked in this custom Nova. - Samspace81 #nova #beastmode
Nice looking nova very rare.
That's a mighty impressive garage ! If that Nova is a legit Yenko, it's one of only 37 produced, and one of a handful that exist today . . .
***** I was caught fibbing!! No, its a Yenko type Tribute car, just a killer killer Nova. That's my buddy Brents business, Fast440 here close to Sunnyvale, Texas.
David H. You're late to the party David! I'm sure everyone LOVES you at a party...
Was this car originally a 250 inline 6 or a 307?
Jesus H Christ, that thing sounds good. And then you sold it. I would have wrapped it up in bubble plastic and kept it forever.
Wow he sold it. Hes crazy
Don Yenko converted a whole bunch of cars, not just Camaros. He had Yenko Chevelles, Yenko Novas, Yenko Camaros, even Yenko Corvairs. Pretty neat stuff. May not be factory original (Correct me if I am wrong) but still sweet as hell to have such a high horsepower motor in a tiny car.
I like it too. As for a genuine Yenko Nova 427 there are only 7 to 9 in existence. A garnet red one with a black vinyl top completely original sold for $300,000.
Outstanding Nova. Wish I could have bought it. That big block sounds awesome They can keep all the new muscle cars. Old school works for me.
same thing i said ol school is bad ass this new crap sucks lol
I think the clone/tribute idea is the better option...it looks & runs like the rare original, but you can beat on it & not feel like you're devaluing/mileing up/abusing the investment/rarity of owning the real thing!
Thats what I'm saying. Thanks for checking it out Andy.
I didn't have it opened up all the way. It didn't ping or lean out, pulled hard. I didn't rev it too high either.
Yea, those 427 nova's built by Yenko are the most rare of his supercars , and for good reason. The nasty big rat was really too much for a stock body nova and actually quite dangerous according to don yenko himself. It was something like 0-60 in a tick over 3 seconds with all kinds of body and suspension twisting going on. Hairy ride.
One of the cleanest Novas I've seen. That hood looks great on that car.
Did you see the part where I went through the gears? It winds up pretty good! I never bounce a car off a rev limiter, bad for the valves.
I'm curious. What did you Folks have to do to prepare those Nova Frames/Suspensions to handle the HP of the 427s?
A Buddy of mine put a strong 327 small block in one of these Cars and the first time he really nailed it from a standing start, the Car literally twisted the real Leaf Spring into a Pretzel and did a real number on what was left of the rear bodywork. Maybe I can answer my own Question here and say 400 hp was too much for a single leaf rear suspension especially w/o Frame Connectors.
I doubt any Novas came out of the factory with body and paint as good as this one. She's a beaut'!
So true memorable muscle
Who needs a radio when your car sounds like that!
That's the truth in any year
Thanks!
What a beautiful Nova..Gorgeous
You'd need a 4 door nova with poverty caps, bench seat, column shift. With a 1970s compass on the dash. My great grandma had a green on green nova like that (with a 307 or some little lo-po v8). Except hers was a coupe. Right now it's rotting behind my uncle's house.

Haha you are a beauty!
Its an extremely well built Nova, that's a fact! Thanks for checking it out -Sam
I'm sure he didn't get a 1 of 71 price for it either. But someone is enjoying a near Yenko.
It's not real and they're not pretending it is, hence why the video says imposter yenko, brain box.

Cool car i ran a small block 427 then it turned into a 437 now its gonna be a 440. Just keep making it bigger stronger and faster
The Hotrodder way. Thanks for following Samspace81
Just starting this car is raising more hell than driving a Focus...
PSA to the kids in these new mustang's. This is a car that sounds good. Loud is not always a good sound.
Yes thanks for the intelligent comment - SAM
Very nice nova..looks good sounds and appears to run very strong..very nice piece of American muscle car history. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for checking it out James! Enjoy the channel.
A great and wonderful machine. I still want one.
Indeed
That's one badass Nova love that whining sound
It sure was Mark, that old school gear drive! Thanks so much for following Samspace81
seems like it leans out and gets really quiet when you hammar it.
I thought I saw that nova on eBay awhile back. It was actually on eBay as a yenko. Very nice ride I thought about selling almost everything I had at the time for it. But then came to my senses.
thanks for sharing and the ride. loved it. nice bad ride. keep old school alive!
2016 is a badass. I have had seven in my life and only have one left man I miss them.
Great car. But hardly hell raising. Glad you're taking care her though
My thoughts exactly ! Lol
Thanks for the ride..that was Awesome!
Really nice craftsmanship; cosmetics and mechanicals
I agree! Glad you enjoyed it Mark. Appreciate you following Samspace81 sir

You got that right! Great memory. Thanks Todd for watching - SAM
Not really dude, shifting easy about 5,000 rpm. It would pull 6500 shifts, but I didn't want to abuse it. I sell people's cool cars- Sam
Beautiful Nova man. Absolutely. I have a 73 hatch back but I don't have the cash right now to do what I want to it, so just waiting. Seeing your car makes me know keeping mine is worth the wait.
The horn and wipers really make the car. LOL, very nice!
sweet nothing better than the sound of big block chevrolet muscle
Comment of the day! One of my favorite days ever doing this video! So much fun. Thank you
@@samspace81 your welcome my dad has a big tire 68 with a 540 bb with a turbo
love nova's. awesome vid
You just got to love those cars that are so juiced up they don't like to idle at all lol
@Terruhcutta Yeah I did! lol I was driving. That was the Sheriffs station.
I love the sound of that "ROCK CRUSHER"!!! That's a stable full pretty girls!😎
Memorable Nova
Nice car . Yenkos had the stinger hood , YSC head rests and door panel call outs and stripe kit . Decals on the
valve covers doesn't make it a Yenko tribute or clone . 427 sounds healthy.

@TheRoguelement Short shifting this Nova would still take care of your wheel hopping Chevelle I'll bet ;)
Beautiful looking and sounding Nova.
You're right, there's no subframe connectors or strut braces. In the Yenko directory, there's more than 7. I counted 23. They did LT1's in 1970 as well. I turned down $550k for both.

Jay leno
Actually there was one found this time last year in a shipping container near York, Pa. Some light surface rust but otherwise all original
The 427 Wasnt a chevy engine offered at the factory when they were first made, It was for nascar. It was a mystery Engine ,,The porcupine Head.
Great stuff love the old reference porcupine
Love the car don't get me wrong but a lot of little things are wrong 1 the marker lights would be clear not orange 2 The Yenko always had a tachometer either in a console or dash but either way it looks and sounds great
@DimebagCFH4Life Sure, this one would be easily with a good set of sticky tires. Its not stock either.
I'd like to see this go up against a early 60's superstock MOPAR I think it'd be a good race!
Sounds very healthy. Beautiful car.
it was a fun memorable car. Thanks for watching & leaving a commnet
Ain't Nova's just the best muscle car ever made?
I had a 72 nova I gutted with a 396 I put in it ,it weighed 3.160 pounds ran great
Good stuff Darrell, appreciate you sharing
The car is just plain Beautiful
This is the way a car should sound!
That was a great memory, got to bang some gears with my friend, appreciate your viewership
4seconds,probably with slicks back then, at the most, with modern timing equipment. That number came from don yenko himself. Supercars of today and the high performance cars from back then are on different planets. One uses high tech sophistication, the other uses pure brute force.
Yes, I think you were raising some hell..You were going at least 27MPH in that 25 MPH zone!
Nice car anyway.
This car is one of the most badass s.o.bs I have seen
Thanks for checking it out
427 Nova would run 10.80's right off the showroom floor.Insurance companies killed the fun and refused to insure them.Fastest 427 cars built in the day.
Great cars, I had a LT1 1970, 4 speed Munsey, SS loaded. Quick car in its day.
Got a 57 cameo pickup , with a
70 lt1 & m20 4 speed.,
I would replace that Vic Jr. with a performer RPM air gap. A lot more lower rpm torque with little to no high HP loss. Cool video though kept me waiting for a smoke show lol.
Right on
That ain't no Grandma's Nova! Still would love to find one of those to stick one of my big blocks into it! Those cowl hood look great on those cars. Hey! I think I said that before....Dejaview?
That is weird. I got them unrestored in 1980 from the original owner. The air cleaners are triangular with 427/435HP decals on them. The original window stickers state L88 on both cars.

engine braking like you should GOOD! let them horses sing everyone a song! i heard either the clutch or the tires squeak at 4:19 from that downshift haha shes a beauty! wish i owned one, id keep it in prestine condition just like it is now
Good car. What Kind of fan rad have the motor? Flex fan??? Is noisely
Hmm not sure
Man, who in their right mind would sell that? I just can't see it.
steve mills Maybe the tax man calleth? Yep this one was a special car. I remember it well. - Sam
samspace81 Ugh, not good. Man, the things a guy has to do, unwillingly, for our government.
@AndreyPurtov Yep, thats my Vette at 5:05! This Nova was really built right. I don't think I went over 25...
I love the mechanical gear whine. I liked the under the hood shots as well
Hell yeah. And an airplane hanger full of some badass toys. Semper Fi.
Thanks for your service Chad and checking out my car channel.
Sounds healthy looks great but I must have missed the part where he actually put his foot into it.
I rolled into it, kept traction and didn't tear it up, someone elses car.
thats because it was an 84 after 72 they tamed them down for emissions purposes, and fuel mileage, i know i think it was the 440 that by 1978 only had 180hp whereas in 1970 it had 425
Very clean super-nice car - but failed to see the "Hell Raising."
A Sunday drive on back roads granny shiftin' the entire time. yawn.
I call click bait subject line...
Riley’s Unicorn Universe I wanna see a fuckin high speed pursuit!
Yea every time he gets on it just a little bit he immediately down shifts. With 4:10 gears what did he get it up to....60-65...and then down shifts hard and slides the back tires like oh shit I was almost speeding.
We lit the tires next to the police station actually
aftermarket yenko stickers on a valve cover dont make a yenko
@@samspace81 joke..
What exhaust (muffler) is on this Car?really like the sound when it's downshifted and most of all the Idling.
Wish I remembered to tell you
very nice Nove. Love the sound :-)
Such a fun memory
my dad had a 1969 nova with a factory 396 “375” horse motor with an aluminum manifold with a four barrel carb 4 speed on the floor .. the 375 horse was bs my dad said it was more 425 horse ..
Nice car! What camshaft you running? I'm thinking about changing mine in my 427
Beautiful paint. Oh and that engine! Nice.
I don't think it's real. When it showed the air cleaner, it said "427 Turbojet 460 HP". All Yenkos used the L-72 427 rated (underated) at 425 HP. I believe the only factory Chevy big block rated at 460 HP was the 1970 LS6 Corvette (the 1970 LS6 Chevelle was rated at 450 HP) and I am not even sure any of those were produced.
you build a 388 cube sbc with 550HP?
Yenko, not a Yenko. So what. This Nova is a beast. Great looking and great sounding true muscle car.
+ironhorse127 Yes sir, just a badass Nova, loved this one.
Muncie M22 "Rockcrusher" it sounds like. They have that distinctive whine...
If you can catch it.
Thanks for the ride
You bet
Thank you sir. Nice ride!
Thanks much for watching 👀
Awesome car and an excellent video!
sdy0174 needs to go outside and make sure the Prius is connected to the charger!!!!!
cool vid but you don't need to wash down the cylinders like that before you shut it off. Just leaves fuel in there to gum up.
