Only 1,800 miles on a high performance build! It's a blast to drive with far more power than it needs (cool, right!). It still makes a great cruiser too with a/c, overdrive and upgraded chassis.

EXTERIOR: It has a stylish, compact body with a cowl hood that hints there's some muscle in this one. Overall clean body with a beautiful Silver Blue Poly. The clear coat gives it a glossy finish. In front the bumper, grille and headlight bezels look new. The chrome trim on the hood has some pitting. In back the moldings, tail lights and bumper look new. It has sparkling Nova SS emblems, dual bowtie mirrors and a rear antenna. The windshield is new and the weatherstrips were replaced. The 18 inch Coy's wheels fit the wheel wells perfectly. They are wrapped with Nitto performance tires, wider in the back.

INTERIOR: It was lined with sound deadener before the carpet was installed. The seats were recushioned and custom upholstered, they are firm and tight. The door panels and armrests have been replaced. Up above it has a new headliner and visors. In front of me is an optional dash pad, nicely painted instrument panel with a set of Pro Comp gauges and neatly installed air conditioning vents under the dash. The tilt column has a color matched deluxe wheel. I love the handle on the B&M ratchet shifter, the billet pedals look nice too. Seatbelts have been added in front.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Can you believe it, there's an LS2 in this little Nova! It's a crate LS2 6.0L making an estimated 500 hp with a custom cam, Z06 heads, Edelbrock intake and performance valve springs. It also has an MSD ignition box, Sniper injection, a custom $500 tune and 1 ? stainless headers. A Griffin aluminum radiator with dual electric fans keeps it running cool. A Turn One power steering pump makes it easy to drive. Upgraded with a Wilwood master cylinder, serpentine belt system, and a tubular support bar. The air conditioning works, the squirters and horns are hooked up and the wiring is neatly run. The engine is painted very nicely too.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and the jamb is painted very nicely. The decals, mat and weatherstrip were replaced. Inside is clean metal with a neat gray and white spatter finish. A gel battery has been relocated to the trunk with a billet hold down and a master disconnect switch.

UNDERSIDE: Upfront is highly upgraded with a Church Brothers K member with double adjustable tubular control arms, Viking double adjustable coilover gas shocks, swaybar, Flaming River rack & pinion steering. Welded in frame rails tie the front and back together. In back the shocks, springs, bushings were replaced. It was upgraded with a swaybar and lowering blocks. Upgraded Wilwood brake system with drilled and slotted disc at all four wheels, 6 piston calipers in front. Great sounding fat exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers. New fuel system including the tank. Looking up at the motor it has a high torque starter. The performance built 700R4 overdrive automatic has a shift kit. A DTS driveshaft leads back to the narrowed 10 bolt rear with 31 spline axles and Tru Trac 3.73 posi gears. The floors look like spotless metal painted a smooth satin black.

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.

Fast! This little car with that motor, you bet it's fast! This is a fun, exhilarating car.

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.
