The lightweight Chevy Nova was always a strong performer, but this
1970 Nova has been pared down to the bare minimum, then stuffed
full of small block stroker motor, making for one heck of a
power-to-weight ratio.
Painted few years ago, this white pearl bullet doesn't mess around
with anything but what it needs to go fast. The sleek bodywork was
expertly refinished and looks awesome, but doesn't waste time with
stripes or other graphics (did you know a gallon of automotive
paint adds 7 pounds?). The minimalist Nova bodywork has a certain
appeal, stretched tight over the working parts and with big tires
underneath, it can't exactly be called a sleeper. It's nice and
shiny, the doors fit well. Chrome bumpers always look great against
white paint, giving the car a more modern look than its age would
suggest, and they did leave the original Nova badges in place.
Heck, they were even careful to tuck the exhaust pipes up
underneath where nobody would notice them!
The black interior is serious business. Buckets and a B&M cue
ball are the design elements, and aside from a pair of auxiliary
gauges on the dash, there's no extra baggage here. Fresh seat
covers look very good, particularly with the factory headrests, and
the carpets and door panels look to be replaced at the same time.
The dash is purely stock with a wide speedo and fuel gauge and
precious little else, and they restrained themselves from strapping
a tachometer to the steering column, which might give too much
away. You will note with some excitement that the B&M shifter
shows. There is also a Pioneer AM/FM/CD stereo head unit in the
dash but you will most likely be having too much fun behind the
wheel to worry about turning it on.
Big block power in a small block package is the 383 cubic inch V8's
calling card. Big torque and a willingness to rev makes it a lethal
street engine and combined with the welterweight Nova bodywork,
performance is extremely impressive. The underhood area is just as
minimalist as the rest of the car, but the same attention to detail
and quality workmanship shows here, too. MSD supplied the ignition
system, and you'll note that the accessories are tucked in tight to
the block because this sucker loves to rev. Headers and a custom
exhaust system deliver an aural warning to competitors, but the
suspension is fairly stock, so it rides and handles nicely enough
to be driven every day. A stout 10-bolt rear is highlighted by
Chevy bowtie diff cover and it sits on factory Rallys that stuff
the wheel wells perfectly.
You can tell we love this car because it just doesn't mess around.
If you want speed first and everything else second, this Nova
simply nails it. Call today!
