Vehicle Description
When a classic car has been meticulously restored so that every
detail is about custom speed and showmanship, it should never be
this obtainable. But this 1963 Chevrolet Nova went through a $120K
build, and less than 2,500 miles later, you can pick it up right
now for a third of that.
Novas are great cars to start with as a custom build because they
are small in size, light in weight, but big in stature. These were
often an exercise in minimum chrome accents, which leaves the
brightwork on the bumpers, light surrounds, door mirrors, and
custom billet grille to really standout. Of course the pieces of
chrome everyone will really be looking at are the 17-inch Billet
Specialties wheels. And have you seen the mean stance? We could go
on about the details of the car's quality, but really, this one
speaks for itself. The uniform luster of the Lemon Ice paint; all
the correct trim pieces; and the way ever panel lines up so nicely
that the creases seem unbroken - it's the kind of total quality
that only happens when an enthusiast cares more about the
craftsmanship than the price.
Just like the exterior, the interior is fresh, premium, and bright.
The two-tone leather buckets do the perfect job of being
exceptionally comfortable, but the seatbacks don't rise above the
doorline. This is particularly important because people can see all
the way through the side view on this pillarless hardtop, which is
always the coolest kind of profile. Beyond the leather and chrome
steering wheel, there's a full custom gauge package with large
speedo and tach. The Hurst shifter is in the perfect position for
powering through the gears, as well as a comfortable place to rest
your hand when you're cruising on a Saturday night. And speaking of
comfort, you have ice-cold R134a air conditioning and a modern
AM/FM/CD stereo. But really we know your favorite soundtrack will
be the hypnotic roar coming out of the tailpipes.
While this Nova looks custom-built from every angle, you can tell
the budget was really blown in the engine bay. This is a 350
cubic-inch V8, a nice upgrade from the six-cylinder that would have
come stock in all Chevy II's this year. One of GM's best motors,
the block was borrowed from a '69 Camaro and then rebuilt and bored
.30 over. It has go-fast goodies such as a Holley Street Avenger
four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, Tru Trac serpentine belt
system, and a Be Cool radiator with electric fan. And you can tell
from the moment you pop the hood, this motor was not an
afterthought. Everything on the entire powerplant is either
polished or painted to match the body and engine bay. Even
front-end reinforcements were added and painted before the fenders
were installed - a true sign of a quality build if you had the time
and money to do it yourself. More than just look amazing, you're
going to want to get this Nova out on the road. The front end is
from Scotts Rods & Customs that includes tubular A-arms, a thick
sway bar, and adjustable coilovers. Plus, power steering,
four-wheel disc brakes, and the modern grip of BF Goodrich gForce
T/As make for an unbeatable package. You get complete control over
this restomod level of work thanks to the T-10 four-speed
transmission that feeds a stout Ford 9-inch rear that's geared for
good all-around performance.
You're going to see build receipts totaling over $120K invested,
and the restoration photo book shows you how every penny was well
spent. It's the perfect recipe for everything from enjoying the
long haul on the Power Tour to winning major awards (it already
took home best Chevy II at the Indianapolis Super Chevy meet.) And
while you're stunned that something this amazing can also be so
obtainable, you're not the only person who recognizes an unbeatable
deal. So don't miss out, call today!
