I know that the 1969 [phantom] COPO Nova and the Yenko Nova include stock exhaust manifolds, but those kits have a newer-tooling Mark IV; witness the separate oil pan and different belts/pulleys (including the A.I.R. Pump-sans-plumbing). I haven't tried to see if they interchange between the c.1990 tooling 396-427-454 and the newer (c.2010?) BBC. While the Chambered Exhaust doesn't bother me (my planned build of the COPO Camaro is of a SS/DA car -- open headers is all it'll have), it truly is a rare/unusual option for the X-bodies (likely the F-bodies as well). The Yenko kit was a small block, as was the Nova SS. The Revell 68 El Camino may have the correct big block stock exhaust manifolds. The exhaust can be modified to fit. The Revell 66 Chevelle wagon has stock BB exhaust manifolds. Edited May 3, 2022 by mikemodeler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're thinking of the 1970 Yenko Deuce Nova -- that had the LT-1. Now... when is someone going to make a kit of the 1970 COPO Nova? C;mon, Revell, you already have the 1969 as a starting point... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remove the fake front fender gills on the '69 COPO Nova and you would be very close. That kit has both a bench seat and buckets so you could make a 396SS also.

Exotics_Builder Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 (edited) Revell 6 Nova kits thus far. The Yenko and COPO are big block and the SS has the small block. Edited May 5, 2022 by Exotics_Builder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fake COPO has all the parts you need to build an actual Yenko Nova. Non-SS grille and rear trim, flat hood, bench seat, poverty wheels, etc. Then the parts left over from the two, and the decals included with the COPO kit you can make a reasonably accurate SS396 Nova. Actually if you wanted to do that, the cheap and easy "trick" - so you don't lose any parts moving stuff around - is to swap the decal sheets between the two kits. *Poof* Yenko Nova and SS396 Nova. Now with the ice cube tray Camaro coming along you could have both Yenko and SS396 versions of both cars display together (along with SS350 ones) Edited May 5, 2022 by niteowl7710 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brudda Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I really like the new kits. The 442 seems interesting. I work at a Chevy dealer and this young kid comes up to me and says he wants to restore a old camaro. So I’m thinking .. maybe a 67 -70. But he said a 1986. At first I was shocked but to him 1986 was a long time ago. So what I think is a old classic, it’s different in a young persons eyes. So I believe revell hit the mark with their kits. These are old classics in a young persons eyes. Do you really feel old now? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LHS is priced at $29.50 for all of the above. That's a $1.50 more than stuff that came in back towards the Winter, but is still less than pretty much everything else coming in other than the 2022 Toyota 86/Subaru BRZ Tamiya kits which are $29 even...

Plowboy Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 I'm looking forward to getting the old '66 Malibu Street Machine! I want to build it like the original box art. I have the flame decals in the stash. I never have understood why Monogram called it a Malibu instead of a Chevelle. They did the same thing with the '70. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
