Steve Kovacs has always been a big fan of the legendary Chevys that rolled out of Don Yenko's Pennsylvania dealership. As a tribute to those cars, Steve restored his '81 Malibu in a manner he felt was worthy of the Yenko name. Beyond the badges and striping, Steve's Malibu sports an engine and tranny from an '87 Grand National. The car is currently running mid 12s on 20 lbs. of boost, but his ultimate goal is low 11s, while getting 20 mpg on the street.
