Vehicle Description
Have a look at this slick Chevy Nova. Equipped with 427 cubic
inches of small block power, a smooth automatic transmission and
dashing aesthetics, this restored coupe is the kind of car that you
catch yourself just stopping to stare at. And if you're ready to
feel the summer breeze behind the wheel of a storied Detroit
legend, it's a chance to turn your dreams into reality!
BODYWORK/TRIM
A head-turning muscle car that's dashed with a fair amount of
street rod swagger, this hot hardtop features a detailed, custom
appearance that's highlighted by a spectacular coat of bright red
2-stage paint. That 2-stage wraps a solid profile that, during the
car's nut-and-bolt rotisserie restoration, was stripped bare and
lovingly massaged in to shape and chocked-full of top-shelf
components. And today, this Nova rolls as one lights-out resto-mod
that's guaranteed to make you weak in the knees!
The subdued and classy lines of the prototypical Nova are early
'60s conservative. And because they're so universal in appeal,
they've continued to gain significant popularity. At the front of
this Chevy, a broad bumper founds a chrome-plated grille between
clean parking lights, requisite T3 headlamps and vivid Chevrolet
emblems. Behind that grille, a familiar Cowl Induction Hood leads
the eye to like-new glass, which is caged in straight trim, bright
drip rails and painted wipers. At the sides of that glass, a tidy
profile, shaved of all emblems, centers chrome-plated trim beneath
traditional door handles and a flush-fit fuel door. And at the back
of the car, a second bumper reflects more Chevy emblems, more
chrome-plated aluminum and Dakota Digital LED taillights.
ENGINE
This sweet looking Chevy is powered by 427 cubic inches of Cox
Racing small block that rides in a custom, show-detailed engine
bay. Built to tear up the street and wow show goers alike, that
impressive mill, which combines a sturdy Dart block with
lightweight Air Flow Research heads, transforms stout compression
into roughly 590 tire-shredding horsepower. At the top of the
block, a custom air cleaner jams oxygen in to FAST electronic fuel
injection. Up front a Vintage Air Front Runner system spins modern
power steering beneath a polished alternator and coated AC
compressor. In front of those ancillaries, a custom core support
shrouds a custom AutoRad radiator, supported by electric puller
fans and a polished expansion tank. And, on the visual end of the
spectrum, glossy Proform valve covers and trick dipsticks perfectly
complement braided fluid lines, hydraulic hood supports and a
Wilwood master cylinder.
DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION
Take a long look under this lightweight X-Body and you'll find many
small modifications that add up to impressive appearance points and
big performance gains. The buff 427 utilizes an Art Carr 200-4R
4-speed to spin an aluminum Dynotech driveshaft, which twists a
tough Moser axle that's finished with a Truetrac differential and
big, 3.73 gears. That axle rides a Detroit Speed QUADRALink, which
plants beefy coil-over-shocks at the sides of an aluminum diff
cover. Opposite that 4-link, a Detroit Speed subframe cages two
more coil-overs between tubular control arms. Turns come courtesy
of power rack-and-pinion steering. Stops are quick and precise
thanks 6-piston Baer calipers, which clamp 14-inch drilled and
slotted rotors. Spent gases are managed by oval, ceramic-coated
pipes, which make excellent use of a SpinTech X-pipe and coated
SpinTech mufflers. Power pounds the pavement through polished Intro
Pentia wheels, which spin 255/35ZR18 BF Goodrich g-Force T/A tires
in front of 295/35ZR18 BF Goodrich g-Force T/A tires out back. And,
like any carefully assembled classic, the bottom of this Nova is as
well finished as its top, with undercoated floors shading niceties
like Detroit Speed subframe connectors, Detroit Speed mini tubs and
a polished Rock Valley fuel tank.
INTERIOR
Inside this Chevy, you'll find seamless customization that was
integrated by Southern Comfort Custom Interiors of Ramseur, North
Carolina. The car's modern bucket seats are a sea of hand-rubbed
Italian Leather. In front of those seats, a leather-trimmed dash
founds classy Auto Meter telemetry behind a polished instrument
panel and polished AC vents. Speaking of AC, the car's full-length
console hides controls for Vintage Air conditioning in front of a
polished e-brake, a Lokar shifter and controls for custom Clarion
audio. At the base of that console, Rolls-Royce Wilton Wool carpet
floats piped mats under billet pedals. At the sides of that rug,
sculpted door panels hang more hand-rubbed Italian leather behind
polished handles. That hide extends overhead, where a sculpted
headliner leads the eye to a stylish package tray. In front of the
driver, a polished Intro steering wheel spins a half-wrapped rim
around a tilting column. And behind the passengers, a
custom-upholstered trunk hides a small consolette under billet
supports and a leather-trimmed decklid.
In 1964, this Chevy was some of the best transportation your money
could buy. Presently, it's some of the coolest muscle on the
classic car market. Chevy Novas are universally appealing. But it's
not that easy to find a first-generation Nova that's been massaged
into a first class resto-mod. Call us today to make it yours!
