-Grams family & Volo Museum staff
The best! Meticulously restored and reengineered by a master
machinist and collector. He started with an original rust-free Nova
and created this masterpiece. This car won best engineered at the
prestigious Cobo Hall custom car show. The fit, finish and function
are beyond impeccable!
EXTERIOR: Boom! The overall aesthetic and stance are so sleek and
sexy! The Marina Blue paint has been slightly tweaked with a bit of
pearl and looks amazing. It was applied with expert precision to
detail and has a very smooth finish that is also reflective.
Looking down the side of the 100% laser straight body is very
satisfying; you see nothing but voluptuous contours and sharp
lines. All the panels were painstakingly aligned with consistent
gaps that are spot on. The doors close easily with a solid and
quality "thud". Behind the flush mount fuel door is a push through
filler cap and a hidden master cut off switch too. The steel cowl
induction hood really enhances the profile. It has new glass and
weatherstrips all around. Every piece of chrome and trim was
replaced. The front grille is spotless and now has Halogen
headlights. It's rolling in a gorgeous set of Billet Specialties
17" chrome mags wrapped in high performance radials. The rear tires
are a huge, size P285/40/ZR17.
INTERIOR: Impressive! Inside the door jambs is polished body color
paint. The door panels were replaced and upgraded with power
windows and custom levers. The seats were all recovered with
matching vinyl. The Hurst 4 speed manual shifter sits proudly in an
SS center console and also has "line lock". The headliner, sun
visors, dash pad, rear shelf, and carpeting were all replaced. The
Dakota Digital custom gauges are easy to read and monitor the
vitals precisely. It also has electronic climate controls and a
fold out digital head unit. Custom air vents were added to the
dash, and 5.5" speakers incorporated with the kick panels. The gas
pedal assembly is custom aluminum. It was upgraded with a polished
tilt column and a steering wheel that has a carbon type finish. All
the interior lights are working.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Damn! She performs as good as she looks! The
stout professionally built 502-525 hp engine has a chrome Ram Jet
fuel injection system for turnkey reliability. That is sitting on
top of a polished high rise intake manifold that has chrome fuel
rails too. It also has polished aluminum heads and coated headers
too. The a/c compressor, water pump, and alternator are all chrome.
The brake booster and master cylinder were painted body color just
like the custom fender wells and firewall. The underside of the
functional steel cowl induction hood and hinges are also painted
like the exterior. A handmade fan shroud conceals the upgraded
aluminum radiator. The horn is hooked up and all the bolts were
upgraded to stainless steel.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Sweet! The underside of the trunk lid and jamb
are painted just like the body. The weatherstrip was replaced.
Inside is fully finished, boxed and carpeted. The battery was
relocated to the trunk in a custom box. 2 amplifiers, a big
subwoofer, and 2 6x9 speakers are neatly tucked away. Even the
latch mechanism was replaced.
UNDERSIDE: Wow! Completely custom with a Chassisworks full frame.
Upfront has a custom subframe, polished tubular control arms, coil
over adjustable gas shocks, sway bar, plus rack & pinion steering.
The frame rails were cut to the contour of the floors and welded in
place. A beautifully polished ladder bar setup for the rear
suspension has a Panhard bar and coil over adjustable gas shocks
too. Upgraded disc brakes at all four wheels including polished
calipers and a custom e-brake assembly. A new gas tank was painted
slick just like the body. It has hand formed stainless fuel and
brake lines as well. The custom fabricated stainless-steel exhaust
had the welds ground smooth and the entire system front to back is
highly polished. The rebuilt Muncie 4-speed was also deburred and
polished! Now that's attention to detail! The heavy duty Pro Fab
9-inch rear with 4.11 posi gears looks bulletproof. The floors are
spotless and smooth rust-free steel that are painted just like the
body. The upgraded full frame was also prepped and painted body
color.
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we
built a 2-million-dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and
hired a team of technicians to work it. This is so we can sell you
the best cars within reason.
Truly something special! With a raging 502, 4 speed manual, full
frame, custom suspension, and countless other upgrades, this
award-winning Nova is going to be hard to top. This is the
preeminent custom muscle car that was created to show and go!
For nearly 30 years, I, Jay Grams, have personally written the
highlights for almost every car in our collection. What I provide
is my professional opinion based on my experience with these
vehicles. However, opinions can vary, and I strongly recommend a
personal inspection to form your own view. Our sales team is always
available to answer any questions you may have. One great option is
to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase
the car and share our team's insights. **Our cars are displayed
within a museum setting. If you are interested in a specific
vehicle, please schedule an appointment with a salesperson to view
it. Without an appointment, there is an admission fee to enter the
showroom. If you decide to purchase a car, your admission will be
refunded, and you'll receive a one-year museum membership.
