For Sale: 1971 Chevrolet Nova in Lithia Springs, Georgia

A sleek 1971 Chevrolet Nova is always going to be attractive, but this fresh build is also a restomod with all the best irresistible power-driving upgrades. It starts with the fuel-injected LSX 454 motor. And there's also an upgraded suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, and a five-speed to control it all.

Third-generation Novas are great cars. The fastback styling combined with the reputation for being ready-made performance machines make these a highly desirable classic. But this one instantly stands out as something more modern. The paint has the right look of Nardo Gray that comes on the best European sports car today. This is a fresh restoration, and you can tell they sweated the details on the body by the smooth touch of the paint and the precision fit of the panels. So while this is a true classic American, it basically gives the impression of a modern German build. The paint and body also go well with the dark details of the blackout SS grille, rear panels, and hood vent trim. Plus, the wheels bring the full package together. They fit in with the black accents, and the modern 18-inch size goes with the modem paint to make sure people know you have a restomod.

The bold red interior is another one of those details that make this Chevy more like a BMW or Audi. The plush carpet, taut hardliner, smooth dash, detailed door panels, and nice upholstery all have the fresh feel of a quality investment. It's the kind of interior that you'll proudly display at the car shows, but the real fun is the driver-oriented setup. This means high-back front bucket seats, a classic Chevy sports steering wheel, power steering, an auxiliary gauge trio under the dash, and a Hurst floor shifter. And the Go-EFI controller that tucks under the dash is a big reminder that you're going to love what's under the hood.

The engine bay has a fantastic presentation with clean/smooth inner walls that makes it obvious there's a modern V8 shoehorned into this compact rocket ship. It's a 454 cubic-inch LSX V8. It's truly an awesome powerhouse to have, because even the big block Nova Super Sports from this generation never got the mighty 454, and this one is not a modern fuel-injected powerhouse. The LS crate motors are built to be 600+ hp big power kings right out of the box with a fortified construction and aluminum heads. And this one even has further enhancements like a FiTech programmable EFI system, an Edelbrock EFI fuel regulator, and Hustler headers feeding the X-pipe dual exhaust. This is a big power package, and you get to take full advantage of it with the Tremec TKO five-speed manual transmission feeding a stout 9-inch rear end. As you look underneath, you can see how fresh this car is over every inch. And you'll also spot pieces like the fresh urethane bushings and a tubular A-arm front end that give this added confidence out on the road. Plus, the grippy ZR-rated tires and Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes with drilled & slotted rotors give you superior stopping power.

This car is an awesome power machine with an award-worthy fit and finish. There are details you may do over time for a full cruiser style like adjust the clutch or add a stereo. But from day one, you know this Nova announces from every angle that you have something special. So if you demand power and distinction, you know this is the restomod you need. Call today!!!
