This all started when Derrick’s dad asked him if he was interested in starting a project and owning a muscle car. He had seen his dad’s 1971 Monte Carlo sitting for his whole life and finally got him to restore it. 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.
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.
His car also has some more modern aspects to it. Like Vintage Air conditioning, Dakota Digital gauges, JBL speakers, and Bluetooth. It even has LED headlights.
If Derrick ever upgrades anything, it would be to a Wilwood disc brake system.
