1970 Chevrolet Nova 502 Yenko Tribute Is A Stunning Throwback To The Best Of The Muscle Car Era

Yenko’s involvement in modifying Chevys was born out of Don Yenko’s interest in getting the Corvair certified for SCCA competition but in the process a legend was founded.


In 1969, Yenko turned its focus from Corvairs to other Chevy models. One such model was the Nova. That year only 38 Novas were fitted with a 450-horsepower 427. This was followed by 175 examples that were produced in 1970. Limited numbers and incredible capabilities made these Yenko Novas highly coveted and highly collectible.

This 1970 Nova 502 Yenko Tribute is a stunning throwback to the Yenko days. It is finished in Mulsanne Blue and topped with Yenko tribute stripes. Inside is a refurbished black vinyl upholstered interior that has been upgraded with a Vintage Air A/C system. Under the hood is a ZZ502 big block GM crate engine mated to an upgraded 700R4 automatic transmission that feeds a 12-bolt Moser rear-end. It is said to have been restored about 7-years ago before the current owner’s acquisition and it is now, still appearing in excellent condition, up for sale on PCarMarket. This is an awesome chance to own an expertly restored Nova that pays tribute to one of the most capable examples ever created with a 502-cid engine.
