STK 2609 1965 Chevrolet Nova
This 1965 Chevy II/Nova is work-of-art, designed and built around
performance with class. The original Chevy II was powered by a
194ci straight 6. Our stunning, rotisserie restored (2018) Nova
uses a different approach to performance. The 2-door post is now
powered by one of Chevy's best small blocks - the 383ci stroker.
This 383 has been carefully built to provide dependable street
performance. Enhancements include: 10:1 pistons (pump gas), World
Products cast iron heads, Edelbrock RPM single-plane intake, Holley
750cfm double pumper and hydraulic flat-tappet camshaft matched
with roller rockers. Ignition comes from an MSD box, cooling is
handled by an AFCO aluminum radiator and exhaust is routed through
cool-running TCI coated tube headers to a free-flowing 2.5"
exhaust. This combination produces 385bhp and 427lb/ft of torque.
Every detail has been done to perfection. A 2,500rpm-stall
converter drives the Turbo400 automatic and a 9" Ford limited-slip
differential contains 3.64:1 gears. In order to handle this
powertrain, the owner/builder incorporated a series of custom frame
ties (2"x2" box steel) to strengthen the factory uni-body design -
he basically fabricated a full frame under the car. A Heidts front
sub-frame utilizes coil spring suspension, sway bar and manual
rack/pinion steering. The rear suspension is 4-link coil-over
shocks and braking is manual 4-wheel discs with a Wilwood
dual-master cylinder. Period correct 15" American Racing alloys
mount Cooper Cobra radials tucked neatly under a 'mini-tub' rear
end. An Optima HD battery has been relocated to the trunk. With the
chassis completed, the exterior of the Chevy II was professionally
refinished in 'House of Colors' Tangelo/White. It is stunning,
especially in sunlight. The fully customized, high-grade tan vinyl
interior incorporates plush bucket seats, Vintage Air, a custom
dash with GM NASCAR tach/Stewart Warner gauges and a Planet Audio
PGR-35 AM/FM/Blue Tooth stereo. There were no factory option codes
on Chevrolet's 1965 order form to build this amazing Nova - it is a
one-of-a-kind machine that photos even don't do justice. This
stunning Chevy II/Nova is going to make its new owner very proud.
