Vehicle Description
You're looking at one of the most interesting Novas out there for
the money. With a estimated 550 horsepower V8, custom interior, and
that cool paint, this 1971 Chevrolet Nova coupe is a great way to
get some serious presence for a seriously obtainable price.
The first thing you notice on this coupe is the paint. The bright
blue has such a nice metallic element that it gives a cobalt-like
impression in the sunlight. This is what you get with an investment
in a modern clearcoat paint. The shining color does a great job of
highlighting the third-gen Nova's more athletic sheetmetal. You can
see the sporty nature in other elements, too, like the power bulge
cowl hood, blacked-out wide grille, and gleaming chrome bumpers.
But what really gives it a demanding presence is the custom set of
alloy wheels that are made to look like Chevy's Rally wheels, but
are actually larger and shinier.
You get more hints of this car's power upgrades when you open the
door. The black vinyl front bucket seats are newer and carry better
grip and bolstering. In between those buckets is a B&M sports
shifter. When you slip behind the wheel, you'll notice it's a
grippy three-spoke sport unit. We love the look of the extra wide
original factory speedometer - especially when its supplemented by
a full set of auxiliary gauges and a large tach. So while you do
have a nice AM/FM/CD stereo system, your senses instantly know your
real favorite soundtrack will be the rumble this Nova produces.
One look at the engine bay, and you know this is one wicked motor.
This 400 cubic-inch V8 is the largest of the small blocks, and this
one was even bored.30 over for a grand total of 406. It shines
brightly with components like the Moroso valve covers, Moroso air
topper, and fan shroud. But what you'll really like about this V8
is the pure power experience. The huge displacement small block has
been upgraded and fortified with a Holley double-pumper four-barrel
carburetor, SRP pistons, Eagle H-beam rods, an Eagle crank, and
Hooker long tube headers. The consignor says this produces 550
horsepower. But all people really need to do is hear the thunderous
dual exhaust, and they'll instantly know you power superiority. The
V8 is mated to a freshly rebuilt TH350 three-speed automatic with a
3200-3400 stall to keep you in the optimal powerband. This feeds
the Positraction rear end running 3.73 gears for great all-around
performance. In fact, this Nova is far more than just a muscle
machine. With power steering, front disc brakes, and modern
performance tires, this is an easy classic to confidently drive on
the streets.
Great looks, nice features, and a seriously powerful heart - this
Nova has it all, and it can all be yours if you're fast enough to
grab this deal. Call today!!!
