Vehicle Description

Nut and bolt rotisserie restored. Truly one of the best restorations I've seen! This is a factory born Super Sport, documented with its build sheet! It has great factory options and an upgraded ZZ430 motor! It was born an SS, 4-speed bucket seat car in these colors! Documented with 2 build sheet, sales contract, and protect-o-plate. It also comes with original literature and photos of the restoration.

EXTERIOR: We have pictures of it stripped down to a bare metal shell. I believe it has its original metal except for the added cowl hood. There's no rust, damage, or funny spots. Every inch is laser straight. It lines up square and flush. Repainted its original Flame Orange color, code 65. It has a glass finish. I didn't find any flaws. All the trim was replaced- bumpers, handles, stainless, emblems, bow tie mirrors, taillights, grill etc. It has optional bumper guards. The glass was all replaced. The jambs are painted as slick as the car, even by the hinges. The door latch mechanisms were replaced, doors shut like new. All new weather strips and seals.

INTERIOR: First of all, I love the fact that it has bucket seats with the center console, most Nova's have bench seats. It's all redone. New cushions, upholstery, door panels, headliner, visors, and carpet. Even the bits and pieces like handles, window cranks, armrests, mirror, rear shelf have been replaced. Complete set of reproduction GM seat belts. The dash pad was replaced. The instrument panel area is mint. It has factory in dash tachometer and the gauge cluster down in the console. New rosewood deluxe wheel on a tilt column. There is a retro stereo in the dash with 6x9 speakers in the factory location. Reproduction mats on the floor.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The ZZ430 was a limited-edition GM crate motor. 430 lbs of torque, 430 hp and this is #346 of only 430 made. I just found one on E-bay for $15,000! It comes with a "hot" roller cam, Fast Burn aluminum heads, dual plane intake, a 750 Holley carb, and a GM HEI ignition. Even the valve covers are special- they were designed for NASCAR teams. They are CNC machined with the ZZ430 logo and production #. It also has a set of coated headers. The front of the motor has billet brackets and pulleys with a serpentine belt system, billet a/c compressor and alternator. Modern power steering. Chrome power brake booster and master. An aluminum water pump, radiator and an electric fan keeps it cool. All the metal is painted smooth and shiny, powder coated hinges.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and the jamb are painted like glass. Weatherstrip and the mat were replaced. The trunk compartment is pristine metal with a very neat spatter finish. It has a Wide Oval tire and a painted rim for a spare. It has the complete jack assembly properly installed. It also has factory insulated speaker trays and new trunk latch.

UNDERSIDE: It was flipped on a rotisserie, the bottom was sand blasted to bare metal, prepped and painted black. It has a Global West full front clip package. It includes tubular control arms, QA-1 coil over gas shocks, 1" sway bar, spindles, fast ratio steering box and all new steering linkage. The rear suspension is rebuilt with new bushings, lowering blocks, shocks and a sway bar. The brake system was completely replaced- lines, hoses, e-brake assembly and it was upgraded in front with drilled and slotted discs. It has a fat exhaust with a crossover pipe, transverse muffler and welded joints. The fuel system was completely replaced. Looking up at the motor it is spotless, high torque starter. Rebuilt Muncie 4-speed with a Hurst Competition shifter. Rebuilt driveshaft. Rebuilt 12 bolt rear end with 3.42 posi gears and an aluminum cover.

I'm extremely impressed. Look hard and closely; this car is dialed in. One of the best there is. Not only is the quality very high, it's also loaded up with great features!
