Vehicle Description
What happens when you take a polished Chevrolet body, bolt it to an
upgraded chassis, drop in 454 cubic inches of hot Chevrolet big
block and pile on a list of mind-blowing parts? You get one
incredible classic that instantly becomes the center of attention
wherever it goes! Mixing mesmerizing aesthetics with a timeless
interior and a level of detail that requires multiple looks to
fully comprehend, this sweet Nova is a carefully calculated
compilation of top-notch performance from some of the biggest names
in the business. And what's better: it's a fully sorted cruiser
that was built, above all else, to be driven and enjoyed. Want an
impressive ride that you can hop in, turn the key and sail some
blacktop with? Your chariot has arrived!
ASTRO-NOMICAL ATTITUDE
A fully sorted cruiser that's benefitted from detailed, frame-up
restoration, this sweet Nova might just be the ultimate resto-mod.
Visually, that exclusive status is achieved through solid, mostly
original sheetmetal that's dressed in a silky layer of correct
Astro Blue two-stage. Naturally, that factory flair is capped in
correct Black vinyl. And it all adds up to one stunning Chevy coupe
that rolls as an ardent champion for the best virtues of legendary
American muscle: style, performance AND approachability!
The subdued and classy lines of the prototypical Nova are late '60s
conservative. And because they're so universal in appeal, they've
continued to gain significant popularity. At the front of this
classic, a mirrored bumper frames stylish parking lamps beneath a
stainless, bowtie-branded grille that's bookended by traditional
halogen headlamps. Behind that grille, a retrofitted Cowl Induction
Hood leads the eye to like-new glass that's cased in straight trim,
matte wipers and polished drip rails. At the sides of that
greenhouse, a conservative profile centers muted spears, polished
bowtie mirrors and traditional GM door handles between wispy fender
louvers, "427" branded marker lamps and tasteful "Nova" scripts.
And at the back of the car, a second mirrored bumper frames simple
taillights and a third tasteful "Nova" branding.
BIG BLOCK BLISS
Check the Satin Black engine bay and you'll find 454 cubic inches
of racy Chevy big block that's clean, mean and ready to rock and
roll! That hot mill begins with a traditional, Satin Black air
cleaner, which floats a reusable filter element above a big Holley
4-barrel. That carb, piped to stainless lines and a coated pump,
surfs an aluminum Chevrolet Performance intake, which feeds
aluminum GM Performance Parts heads. The fires get lit by a
Chevrolet Performance HEI distributor, which sequences spark
through loomed GM Performance Parts plug wires. Those wires split
factory-style, cast iron exhaust manifolds, which dodge a
high-torque mini starter. Pliable V-belts spin a color-keyed water
pump between a modern alternator and lucid power steering. A
factory-style radiator charges GM-stamped hoses and old school
tower clamps to keep things cool. And naturally, attractive Proform
valve covers are dotted with a polished Chevrolet oil cap and a
polished Chevrolet breather.
RESTO-MOD: THE CAR OF THE PEOPLE
Park this Chevy on a lift and you'll find solid floorpans that are
poised to battle wet and dry roads alike. A tough Auto Gear Muncie
kicks four cogs in front of a dressed 12-bolt that's finished with
a posi-traction differential, 3.55 gears and sturdy LPW axle
braces. That pumpkin rides a factory-style rear-clip that's built
with mono-leaf springs and CalTracs traction bars. That clip pushes
a factory-style, independent front-half, which floats factory-style
power steering behind a thick sway bar. Power assisted stops come
courtesy of front discs and rear drums. Charred dinosaurs traverse
large stainless pipes, which roar through electronic cutouts and
rumble through dual-chamber Flowmaster mufflers. And at the
corners, retro steelies spin 215/70R14 BF Goodrich Silvertown
Radial redlines in front of 225/70R15 BF Goodrich Silvertown Radial
redlines.
OLD SCHOOL COOL
The timeless Black interior hiding behind this Nova's glossy doors
is a correct factory affair that, with the help of simple
customization, remains both stylish and cool! Correct bench seats,
propping color-keyed stitching and factory headrests under the
driver and front passenger, split fade-free flooring that's
garnished with clean mats and a short Hurst shifter. In front of
that stick, a monochromatic dash hangs factory telemetry over
factory audio and covert Bosch accessory gauges. That seat, dash
and carpet trifecta is completely framed by a tight headliner and
ornate side panels. And the driver spins a handsome,
Chevrolet-branded steering wheel.
The product of a detailed, ground-up build that would probably take
a second mortgage to duplicate, this Chevy rolls on the right side
of impressive. It's a highly desirable muscle car that's been
carefully fitted with all the right stuff to be one seriously cool
cruiser. Dreaming of the perfect blend of old school Motor City
style and modern big block performance? You've found the ultimate
classic!
