Description for Chevrolet Nova 1969

Let's talk about this amazing. head-turning muscle car. You are viewing a 1969 Chevy Nova Yenko Clone; not like any other. This Nova has two looks. Pro-Touring and Street Strip. EXTERIORWe will begin with the beautiful Dupont Premier gold-pearl paint. which is laser straight. with custom made "carbon fiber" Yenko graphics. This Nova has new panels throughout including new fenders. quarters. trunk lid and a very expensive. lightweight aluminum hood. This Nova received a "No-Expense-Spared" rotisserie restoration. The exterior of the car received all new chrome and trim including bumpers. door handles. grill. vent window trim. etc. Topping off the exterior is a beautifully done vinyl top. which accents the black interior perfectly. With all classic cars that are street driven. there is always the risk of some nicks and scratches. This car is close to perfect with one nick at the corner of the trunk and quarter panel. which occurred before it even made it to the street. INTERIORThe interior has a custom-built roll bar with swing-out door bars. which are removable. These bars allow easy entering and exiting of the vehicle without having to climb over a bar. The roll bar is attached to the body and frame. which ties in the complete body; making it extremely tight. The interior received a new rug. custom black. leather seats and a custom upholstered rear seat to match. A 1970 vintage Corvette steering wheel was used for it's classic look. To monitor this beast. Autometer gauges with a custom console pod was used. An Alpine CD player and custom kick panel speakers were installed. Now for the fun part!!!
