Vehicle Description
The 1971 Chevrolet Nova is a quintessential piece of American
muscle, and this beautifully maintained specimen pays homage to its
legendary legacy while integrating some tasteful upgrades to
elevate both performance and comfort. With its bold burgundy paint
shimmering in the sunlight, this Nova is sure to catch every eye on
the road. But its appeal doesn't stop at aesthetics-underneath its
classic good looks lies a fierce heart and an exhilarating driving
experience that make it more than just a showpiece.
This Nova carries the coveted SuperSport badges and steering wheel,
hinting at the raw power that lies beneath. Although the SS trim is
non-decodable by VIN, it comes with a factory V8 VIN, confirming
its muscular origins. It roars to life with a remanufactured
Generation 1 LT1 350 engine (1992-1997), a powerhouse that stays
true to the Nova's reputation for thrilling performance. Paired
with a 4-speed manual transmission and featuring the classic Hurst
shifter and knob, this setup is designed for those who revel in the
control and engagement of a hands-on driving experience.
To enhance its capabilities, this Nova is equipped with headers and
a dual exhaust system that lend it a deep, resonant exhaust note
that only a true muscle car can produce. Under acceleration, the
Speed Warrior intake paired with a 4-barrel intake manifold helps
channel power efficiently, ensuring smooth delivery at any RPM. In
short, this Nova is built to thrill, not just in terms of looks but
in the way it feels on the open road.
Handling in this Nova is both confident and responsive, thanks to
power steering and a robust braking setup. The car comes with front
disc brakes and rear drums, combining the best of stopping power
and durability for a classic of this era. Power brakes add to the
ease of driving, allowing for an agile, powerful ride that can stop
on a dime when needed, offering peace of mind for city streets and
highways alike. The stance is aggressive, rolling on Torque Thrust
style 15-inch rims wrapped in Cooper Cobra Radial GT tires
(215/65R15). These wheels and tires not only complement the Nova's
classic aesthetic but also provide the grip and stability necessary
for high-performance driving.
Inside, the Nova combines the best of vintage style with a touch of
modern comfort. The dash is outfitted with a Sun Super Tachometer
to keep RPMs in clear view, while a 3-pack gauge mounted under the
dash monitors vital signs like oil pressure, water temperature, and
voltage. For the purist, the RetroSound AM/FM Bluetooth radio
maintains that classic look while offering the convenience of
modern connectivity-streaming your favorite tunes has never been
easier in a vintage setting. And, while the original bucket seats
are no longer available, this model is upgraded with new-style
electric seats, which are designed with both comfort and support in
mind, ensuring that longer drives are a pleasure rather than a
chore.
With a solid undercarriage and a beautifully preserved body, this
1971 Chevrolet Nova is more than just a collector's item. It's a
driver's car through and through, offering a compelling blend of
style, performance, and comfort that's becoming harder to find in
such authentic condition. For anyone seeking the thrill of classic
American muscle wrapped in a beautifully presented package, this
Nova offers an experience that's as exciting today as it was back
in the golden age of American performance.
