Muscle Car Match-Ups Finals: ’69 Chevy Yenko Nova vs. ’70 HEMI ‘Cuda
It’s a Mopar versus Chevy final.
Just one year removed from an all-Ford championship in last year’s Muscle Car Match-Ups tournament, you’ve voted the 1969 Chevrolet Yenko 427 Nova into the finals where it will face the 1970 Plymouth HEMI ‘Cuda for the 2014 crown.
Vote now for your champion. Here is the finals match-up:
1969 Yenko 427 Nova
There were only 37 of them produced for the 1969 model year. It could go zero to 60 in just four seconds. It cranked out 425 horsepower while being the lightest of all of the Chevy Yenko 427 cars produced. And it has consistently been voted by Summit Racing fans as your all-time favorite muscle car.
Is the Nova the favorite?
1970 HEMI ‘Cuda
This fish introduced the world to Mopar’s E-body and gave us a distinctive shaker we hadn’t seen before. Oh, and that thing’s got a HEMI in it. While it’s one of the most-popular and beloved muscle cars ever (some people insist on calling it a pony—have fun with that), one wonders if it can muster enough support from Mopar enthusiasts and others to carry it to victory.
We’ll know soon enough!

1970 Hemi Cuda
Still going with the Nova all the way.
Mike A I got to with the Cuda
the nova sucks, chevrolet sucks
chevy doesnt suck, its just that mopar is better then chevy
The nova kicks ass
The nova will definitely win
427 Yenko Nova hands down!!!
the hemi cuda, definitely
427 Nova no question about it. It was designed for racing. The hemi cuda , a wonderful car and powerful, wasn’t as quick as a 440 magnum cuda in stock form. Headers, slicks, super tune and traction bars added to any muscle car changes everything. Still voting Yenko 427 as the winner.
