This 1972 Chevrolet Nova coupe is said to have been refurbished and modified in the style of a Yenko/SC example under previous ownership. The body was refinished in blue with Yenko-style white decal stripes, the interior was reupholstered in black vinyl, and a 454ci V8 and four-speed manual transmission were installed. Other equipment includes a black vinyl roof, chrome bumpers, 15″ Rally-style wheels, power steering, power-assisted front disc brakes, tubular control arms, an electric fuel pump, a dual exhaust system, a Hurst shift knob, a Pioneer CD stereo, and AutoMeter gauges. This modified Nova was acquired by the seller in November 2022 and is now offered with a South Carolina title in the seller’s name.
The car was refinished in its current shade of blue with white Yenko-style stripes on the hood and sides approximately 10 years ago, according to the seller. Features include a black vinyl roof, dual side mirrors, and chrome bumpers as well as SS, 396, and Nova badging. The seller notes areas of thinning paint and previous touch-up work.
Rally-style 15″ wheels are fitted with polished trim rings and hubcaps and are mounted with 215/65 BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires that reportedly were installed in December 2022. The car is equipped with power steering, and the suspension has been modified with tubular upper and lower control arms. Braking is handled by power-assisted front discs and rear drums.
The front bucket seats and rear bench are said to have been reupholstered in black vinyl and are accompanied by a color-coordinated dashboard, door panels, and carpet. Vinyl SYC logos are adhered to the front headrests, and equipment includes a Hurst shift knob, a Pioneer CD stereo, a center console, and a heater. The horn and the windshield wipers are inoperative.
The three-spoke steering wheel wears an SS center cap and fronts an inoperative 120-mph speedometer and a tachometer, while AutoMeter gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, water temperature, and voltage are found on the center console. The five-digit odometer shows 94k miles; approximately 100 miles have been added under current ownership, and true mileage is unknown.
The replacement 454ci V8 was installed under prior ownership and features an electric fuel pump, a serpentine-belt system, and a chrome-finished air-cleaner assembly, valve covers, and brake booster. The car’s chassis number indicates that it was originally powered by a 250ci inline-six.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. The car is equipped with a dual exhaust system.
The title is marked “Exempt” under the Vehicle Brand(s) section.
