Vehicle Description
This 1970 Chevrolet Nova Pro Street was built to do only one thing
- go fast! And with a performance-built big block V8, huge rear
tires, and bold red paint, it doesn't try to hide its speedy
intentions... which means everyone will hide from you on the street
and the strip.
Novas have always been a great place to start for a speed machine
kind of custom because these were born with a lightweight nature
that doesn't leave out a substantial presence. And the muscular
lines of the sheetmetal get noticed even more when they are
finished in a bright red. Of course, this one also has an
unmistakable race-ready upgrades style with the huge cowl induction
hood leading the way and a wheelie bar out back. Plus, the
seriously meaty rear tires on Billet Specialties wheels give this a
menacing stance. It even does a good job of impressing with the
details like the front spoiler, half-moon headlights, and a clean
and shining overall look of a well-done classic.
The full black interior continues the right attitude. The door
panels, dash, and other fundamentals have a clean look, but what
you really notice are the competition-ready features. You instantly
see it with the ProCar seats, Netami harnesses, and a proper roll
cage. Unnecessary or misplaced is always the enemy. That's why you
have a rear seat delete and items like the fuel cell and the
battery are in the trunk. You get a grippy Grant GT sports steering
wheel, and beyond that is the full AutoMeter Pro-Comp gauge
package, including the large speedo and tach. And the TCI Outlaw
ratchet shifter gives you firm control over it all.
As great as everything else is, it's what in the engine bay that
you're going to love most about this powerful Nova. The 454
cubic-inch V8 has been bored .10 over to 476ci total. This is a
tidy setup that you can tell was built for serious power. It has
been enhanced and fortified with 14:1 compression, Brodix aluminum
heads, Brodix HV 2007 Series Intake, and topped with a massive
Quick Fuel FX-4700 1050 CFM carburetor. The whole setup was built
to be stout, and this includes the fabricated valve covers, an
aluminum radiator, steel-braided lines, AN fittings, and Assault
Racing Products electric water pump. Plus, the long tube headers
add even more power while also contributing to the thunder of the
dual exhaust that exists underneath this car. And since this runs
on race fuel, you know it has a sweet smell to go with the sound.
The Powerglide transmission is a quarter-mile runner's favorite,
and it's a manual valve body unit for full control. This feeds a
12-bolt rear end with 4.10 gears for quick take-offs. This was
built to put serious power to the ground. That's why you have those
wide Mickey Thompson tires in the rear. Plus, there's a ladder bar
rear end with diagonal link and adjustable coilovers. And there are
other great upgrades like frame connectors, tubular front A-arms,
and drilled & slotted front disc brakes.
This Nova is so mean that it's just barely on the right side of the
law enough to get a license plate hung on the back. So you know you
want it. Call today!!!
