Vehicle Description
It took 3 years of painstaking work to bring this exquisite 1966
Chevrolet Nova SS to its current level of excellence. It is a "100%
rotisserie restoration with every nut, bolt, and part replaced or
refurbished." It features an upgraded Corvette L79 350 horsepower
327 Chevrolet engine, modern suspension, and braking making this a
one of a kind 1966 Nova SS. So says the extensive documentation
included with the car. Everything from receipts to a professionally
produced picture book come with it, confirming that substantial
amounts of extra effort went into the execution and presentation of
this amazing build. Even at first glance, the ultra-high quality is
evident. But a thorough inspection reveals countless details that
take this Nova to the top. An example is the shifter. It looks just
like the original in its original SS center console. But you'll
notice that the shift quadrant has positions for all four forward
gears, a small visual detail, but one that involves outstanding
engineering skills. It controls a 700R4 automatic. Of course, the
paint is superb, and the medium gray metallic shade is right in
step with the times, yet it's a color not often seen on a
mid-sixties Nova. The wheels carry out the "original but with a
secret" theme. They look like the original rally wheels, but are 17
inches in diameter, and are widened and chromed. Heidts independent
front, and 4-link rear suspensions give the car great ride and
handling characteristics and contribute to the killer stance. Power
assisted rack & pinion steering connects you solidly to the road.
Tucked up neatly in the rear fender wells are massive 275/40ZR17
ultra-performance (read: sticky) radials. They're positioned on
either end of a perfectly narrowed 9-inch Ford rear axle. The
engine compartment is sanitary and functional. Not a lot of
gingerbread is required when you open the hood of a Nova and find a
327/350 horse motor. The interior is beautiful and comfortable - it
even smells great! How about "custom French stitched leather bucket
seats and premium wool carpeting?" Vintage Air provides cooling and
heating, and there's a premium Bluetooth high-output audio system
onboard. This level of restoration is reserved for highly sought
after collectibles. The 1966 Nova SS has achieved that status. The
phrase "must see" appears in countless car ads, but in this case
it's an experience you'll really enjoy, and that translates to "you
gotta see it to believe it."
