Ah, the Chevy Nova. Say what you will, but it isn't 1983 anymore
and these aren't just old used cars! Many folks have fond memories
of these little economy cars, whether their mother had one or if it
was their first car "back in the day." In fact, it makes sense that
what was once an economy car has such a following; normal people
could afford them! Though each generation has a completely
different look, they are all recognizably a Nova. 1974 was the last
year for the Novas that look halfway like muscle cars, and this
example is hardly an exception!
The beneficiary of a full customized build that was tastefully done
to provide the power and reliability of a modern vehicle, all while
keeping the original iconic look of a muscle car intact. and is
offered for a price at which this car could not be built. On the
outside, it looks like a fairly standard-issue hot rod Nova with
the back end jacked up a little bit. However, this Nova is far from
stock. Lift up the hood and you'll find a customized 5.3L Ls V8
that's bolted to a 4L80E automatic. That's right, this car might
appear like a tame stock 74 with impact bumpers, but turn the key
and you'll instantly see how this is a perfect sleeper resto-mod.
This is a cleanly swapped car and that LS engine looks right at
home under the hood of this puppy.
A quick look in the engine bay and you'll see this isn't just a
typical LS swap. Not only is everything clean and tidy, but also
custom touches were done that really add a great look to the car.
For instance, the chrome headers add a great look over the stock
5.3 manifolds, but also MSD coils were installed, K&N air
filter, March pulley system and front power disc brakes and power
steering makes this car a blast to drive.
Open up the door, and it'll quickly become apparent that this Nova
has had some custom touches. A Momo steering wheel and custom
center console (complete with cupholders!) are the most prominent
features of the interior. Additionally, the gauge cluster has
received a tasteful custom treatment. In place of a radio, you'll
find a control pad for a Bluetooth sound system connected to plenty
of speakers and a subwoofer setup in the trunk. Pair it with your
phone and instantly you can jam out tunes at your local car show.
This Nova is a wonderful mixture of old and new technology!
Overall, this car is in great condition and for the price a cooler
custom Nova would be tough to find. Whoever restored it knew what
they were doing as it still retains all the original sheetmetal and
the original look from factory is still intact. If you are looking
for a perfect driver that no one would assume is packing a fuel
injected small block under the hood, this is it!
