INTRODUCTION: Show quality Pro Street that's ready to cruise! This Nova gets the juices flowing, just looking at it makes you think, dam! Once you fire it up and hit the streets there is no way you won't be smiling ear to ear. I personally drove it to a cruise night and it cruises great. Always starts right up, it drove easy, stops great, goes straight, cruises nicely at 70 mph, 93 pump gas, no overheating and it was a hot day. I had everyone's attention when I pulled in the show. When I left they literally lined up along the street with their phones out, of course I had to give them a little show! I had a blast that night, I love this car!

EXTERIOR: The body is excellent, straight with no issues. The fiberglass cowl hood was carefully cut out for the motor to stick out of it! Painted in the late 90s and wow does it still look great. To hold up that long and look like it was painted yesterday says a lot about its integrity. It's polished smooth and glossy. The chrome and stainless trim was restored to show quality. All of the glass was replaced. In back it has a battery disconnect, an SS panel and LED taillights. The previous owner recently spent $12,000 making the custom 3 piece Blaque Diamond wheels! They are 1 of 1 the only set in existence. They are 19s in front and 20s in back and extra extra wide, wearing Mickey Thompson tires.

INTERIOR: It is very nicely restored inside too. It starts with a key, heck the key buzzer even works! The custom built roll cage has easy entry on the driver's side. The passenger side is very manageable to get in or a section can be removed to make it even easier. It is carpeted front to back with bound edges. The 2 Corbeau sport seats are comfy and hold you snuggly in place. The driver even has a Simpson racing harness and the B&M ratchet shifter is comfortably within reach. It has reproduction door panels front and back along with new armrests and handles. The dash pad was replaced, instrument panel is very clean. Upgraded with an Ididit tilt column and a cushion grip steering wheel. It also has a touch screen entertainment system. The Pro Comp tachometer is mounted on the dash and matched gauges are down below the dash. It even has USB ports and a 12 volt receptacle.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The star of the show! A Big Al's Toy Box 468 big block making 1,000 hp! The top half is all polished aluminum: the heads, intake 871 blower, dual Demon carbs air scoop, valve covers, brackets and pulleys. reaching for the sky. The headers were custom made and it has an MSD ignition system. It also features a high output chrome alternator, premium fuel lines and fittings, and a Wilwood master cylinder. The aluminum radiator and overflow bottle along with an electric water pump and fan keeps this beast cool. All the metal surfaces are painted real nicely.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk and jamb were painted slick, it opens with 2 gas struts. Inside was very nicely refabricated and spatter painted. The floor is carpeted. It has a Harwood fuel cell, an Optima battery and the roll bars extend into the trunk.

UNDERSIDE: It has a custom chassis: upfront It has fat tubular control arms, coilover adjustable gas shocks and rebuilt steering. Welded frame connectors lead to the completely refabricated back half. It uses a 4 link system with tubular control arms and diagonal link along with coilover adjustable gas shocks. It has a 4 inch polished stainless exhaust that makes its way to the back of the car. It's tig welded, has x-pipe, tube mufflers and it sounds awesome! It stops easily with Wilwood 4 wheel disc brakes. The bottom of the motor has an extra capacity oil pan and a high torque starter. Turbo 400 automatic was built heavy duty and has a reverse manual valve body, external oil cooler and a finned aluminum pan. The custom driveshaft goes through the safety loop before connecting to the heavy duty narrowed 9 inch Moser rear. It has a back brace and 3.90 posi gears.

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. We inspect each car and service the essentials. This is so we can sell you the best cars within reason.

CONCLUSION: If you need some excitement in your life, this Nova is for you! You can cruise normally, but if you get the urge to goose it I suggest you hold on!
