It ALL depends on the year! The '69 Yenko Novas are rarer than their '70 small block brothers, and more valuable. But, they are both VERY desirable cars...GOOD LUCK!

A restored '69 Yenko Nova might bring $70k++ , a 70 Yenko Nova "Duece" might bring mid $30's restored. If the car is in really poor shape a frame-off resto could easily run $30K+ unless you did it yourself. So you could be "upside" down with a '70 model. Which is almost always why from a pure financial perspective you are better off buying a restored car. That being said, I think you will find most of us in the hobby are not into it for a financial gain, just a true appreciation of these cars.

will:

Is it a '69 (big block car) or a '70 (small block car) Nova? Is any of the drivetrain there? How much of the car is original? Any paperwork?

We have only heard of a couple of '69 Yenko Novas that have sold, and they were in the ZL-1 Camaro range.

I think that I would ask HIM what he wants for it and go from there. You might get lucky and get that "old Nova" for $500. Even a '70 Yenko Duece in poor shape might fetch $10k+ if all the parts were there. Marlin, chime in anytime.

I checked out the line on the nova ,and found the house but the garage (barn)has burned down but no sign of the nova .I knocked on the door but didn't get an answer.
If anyone would like to try to track it down e-mail me and I will give you the location I had it is in centerville MD.

WILL;
Just read all the posts regarding this Nova. You need to get the VIN #, and the trim tag information. We can decipher it from there. There was a participating dealer in the Washington D.C. area called Lustine Chev, Hyattesville, MD, and Centreville is not that far away.

What makes you recall this car being a Yenko?
