STK 3999 1971 Chevrolet Nova Street/Strip/Show Car
The owner of this 1971 Nova Street/Strip/Show car has possessed it
for twenty years. When he began the Rotisserie Restoration, his
goal was to produce a show winning race car - one must always have
a goal. The restoration was completed in 2021 and the result is a
Street/Strip masterpiece. The Nova is a multi-Award Winning show
car, including Outstanding Comp Car and Best of Show at a GSRA
event. That said, the show car was built to not only be street
legal, but to meet 8.50 NHRA safety specs. This Nova has 16 passes
to its credit and runs 9 sec quarter miles on motor only and foot
braking.
The Nova is a full bodied, all-steel sedan with a fiberglass hood
that has a full interior. The custom 2-stage finish is an SPI
product that is a shade brighter than Hugger Orange. It was color
sanded and the finish is on the virtually perfect body is
exceptional. Accents include a custom hood, all new
chrome/emblems/moldings/plates and a Stroud chute. Custom
'Choke-Hold' art work and pin stripping have also been added (on
top of the clear coat). The rear wheel wells have been
professionally mini-tubbed and look factory. The coupe strikes a
great stance on 750 Series Sander Engineering 15x10/15x4" polished
aluminum wheels that mount 10.5" M/T street radials. - it is all
top shelf. The handsome orange vinyl interior incorporates a full
chromoly roll cage w/breakaway bars designed by HR Racecars,. The
upholstery is the factory Nova deluxe interior design, but
specially created with Hugger Orange vinyl by PUI interiors. Front
seats are Ultra Shield aluminum racing seats with perfectly fitted
custom orange seat covers. Other features include a C3 Corvette
tilt wheel, Covan dash w/Pro Comp Autometer gauges, all new
hardware and Race Quip harnesses/window net. The detail of this
one-off Hugger Orange interior is amazing.

carefully prepared for ultimate performance by Hammerhead

gears and is mated to a PTC convertor. It is fitted with a Hughs
trans brake and Derale cooler w/fans. Shifting is handled by a

The chassis is fitted with rack and pinion manual steering,
Competition Engineering ladder bars, multi-link/coil-over rear
suspension and brakes are manual Areospace front discs with
aluminum drums on the rear. Upon completion, HR Racecars carefully
scaled and 4-corner weight-adjusted the Nova - it hooks hard and
goes straight.
This Nova is a very unique piece for getting down the road. The
owner has furnished much more information relating to the build in
carefully documented folders that come with the car. He will also
be available to discuss the car and answer any questions that a
potential buyer may have. There was never an 'Option Code' on
Chevrolet's 1971 order sheet for this amazing Nova - it is
one-of-a-kind and is going to make its new owner very, very proud.
