Once Derrick saw his dad’s car coming together, he thought he could do one himself. Working in the body shop Derrick was learning a lot, and getting to use that knowledge on his own car, which was pretty awesome.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Derrick’s car is a 1969 Nova Yenko tribute. It has a 1969 date code block, along with a TH400 transmission. It also has power steering and power four-wheel disc brakes. One unique thing is the Yenko stripes are actually painted on, not decals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
