1970 Yenko Nova At Barrett-Jackson
Up for sale this weekend at Barrett-Jackson’s auction in Scottsdale, Arizona is this 1970 Chevrolet Yenko Nova. I used to own a 1970 Nova, so this particular car brings back some fond memories. Don Yenko built 175 of these cars, only 25 of which appeared in the silver color shown here. This particular car is powered by the infamous Chevrolet 350 V-8. Yenko also built a 427 Nova, but only for 1969, as insurance on the big block cars became too outrageous in 1970. The last time a Yenko Nova changed hands, it commanded $285,000. It will be interesting to see what this “underpowered” but still beautiful car will bring on the block.
