EXTERIOR: Better than new fit and finishes. The body is absolutely pristine and straight with no rust or damage. It still has it's original metal with the exception of NOS quarter panels. Repainted it's original Marina Blue in lacquer to be authentic and so the exact color is correct. Polished to a smooth and glossy finish.

We have a list of all the numbers on the original components: heads manifolds, carb (rare!), distributor, water pump etc. Even electrical components: alternator, regulator, horn relay, wiper motor and starter are original. Very detailed engine rebuild specs will be included. It's a California car so it has smog equipment which is restored and complete.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and the jamb are painted as nice as the car. It's complete with reproduction decals, weatherstrip and trunk mat.

It has it's original 10 bolt rear end with 3.08 posi gears. 4 QA1 adjustable gas shocks were recently installed.

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.

If it's not the best 66 Nova it is certainly one of them! The level of restoration and authenticity is high. To have such great documentation is impressive, I especially like the original black plates!

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.
