INTRODUCTION: Less than 300 miles on a complete custom build! The drivetrain is entirely new, not rebuilt. A pile of documentation is included.

EXTERIOR: The body is clean, straight and fits right, the doors shut like new! Repainted Artesian Turquoise and the clear coat looks wet it's so glossy. The jambs are restored real tidy. Weatherstrips were replaced along with front and rear windows. The chrome and trim has mostly been replaced, the tail panel is a good original. The lowered stance is perfect on the 17 inch Torque Thrust wheels wearing Nitto Performance tires.

INTERIOR: It is restored with a nice mix of modern and vintage style. It was first lined with Dynamat sound deadener. The new carpet fits real nice and has floor mats. The TMI front and rear seats look and feel great! The side panels and armrests are reproductions. The dash pad was replaced, the gauges were upgraded with a sharp looking Classic Industries gauge package. The climate controls are also upgraded with Vintage Air electric slides. An Ididit tilt column has a new deluxe wheel. The new headliner is as tight as a drum. The best part is that 5-speed shifter sticking out of the reproduction console!

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: This car gets its heartbeat from a power packed, GM performance crate LS3! It's an aluminum 6.2 liter making 525 hp and 486 lb of torque! It is using a PSI wiring harness, DS stainless headers and a CVF front runner system. The mini a/c compressor and alternator are polished, the power steering is modern and billet pulleys run a a serpentine belt. A Vintage Air system provides heat and air. An Entropy high performance cooling system keeps the motor cool, it features an aluminum radiator, custom shroud and dual electric fans. Other features include a Wilwood master cylinder, billet hinges and Detroit Speed custom inner fenders with stainless hardware.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and the jamb are painted slick. Inside is solid metal with a nice spatter finish paint. It has a carpeted mat with bound edges and the reproduction plaid mat, the weatherstrip was replaced. The battery is relocated to the trunk. It features an Optima battery with a billet hold down and a disconnect switch. There is also a $350 custom car cover included!

UNDERSIDE: Every part under this car is new and improved! It is set up to handle all that power from the LS3. The Detroit Speed front steering and suspension includes a custom subframe, supports that go from the frame to the firewall, tig welded control arms, Detroit Tuned coilover gas shocks, splined swaybar, forged aluminum spindles rack and pinion steering. Tubular frame connectors run to the back where there's Caltrax competition springs, lowering blocks and tubular traction bars. A great sounding dual exhaust has a crossover pipe and Flowmaster mufflers. Complete Wilwood brake system with drilled and slotted disc at all four wheels, in back it has forged super light 4R big brakes and the e-brake assembly is new. Sniper conversion fuel tank and system. Looking up at the motor it has a Powermaster high torque starter and Holley oil pan. Over $6,000 SST trans package includes all new Tremec 5-speed, McLeod hydraulic clutch, linkage etc. First one I've seen: a Fastshaft carbon fiber driveshaft! The rear end is a Currie heavy duty 9 inch with 31 spline axles, 3.70 posi and a TA aluminum girdle cover. Everything is new so it's very clean looking and the floors are real clean too, painted 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.

CONCLUSION: Can you imagine 525 HP in this little Nova? No need to dream, make it yours and find out first hand what a blast this is to drive!

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.
