Vehicle Description
Pro Touring is about no compromises, and this incredible 1966 Chevy
Nova Station Wagon is a prime example. With a thumping 350 cubic
inch small block, a suspension hunkered down over gorgeous rolling
stock, and a stunning leather interior, it's obvious that no
corners were cut in the construction.
The crisp Nova has always been popular with hot rodders; heck, even
the factory got into the act when they stuffed a potent L79
Corvette motor under the hood and created one of the most predatory
sleepers ever. And giving a wagon the full pro-touring treatment
really makes this one stand out! Rendered in low-key Ermine White,
most folks take one look at the sleek, clean lines and figure that
it has to be modified, but it isn't. Aside from some shaved emblems
and the rear door handles (to give it the look of a 2-door), the
rest of the car is original GM steel so the original grille and
bright chrome bumpers front and rear look right. The two-stage
urethane paint is dazzling in the sunlight, and you can imagine how
the heads will turn when you prowl into the parking lot behind the
wheel of this one. It might show a few very, very minor signs of
use, but the overall look is clean, slick, and very nicely done. It
more than lives up to the expectations made by the price tag.
The spectacular tan leather interior came with a price tag of more
than $12,000 all by itself and it shows. Gone is the original front
bench, replaced by a pair of comfortable low-back buckets flanking
a custom-made center console. Matching tan carpets and neatly
sculpted door panels add to the updated vibe as well as helping to
disguise the beast that lives underneath. Upgrades include a full
set of Auto Meter gauges neatly built into the original instrument
panel, neatly integrated A/C (ice cold, by the way), and a
leather-wrapped dash pad. The steering wheel is an OEM unit from a
Camaro or Corvette, so that's a nice nod to the past and the
entertai9nment system is a $5000 setup that's powered by the
touch-screen head unit in the console. Even the cargo bay is
beautifully finished, probably too nice to work anymore but imagine
hitting the road for the next Power Tour in this cool hauler!
One turn of the key will convince you that the money was spent in
the right place, because this 350 cubic inch V8 cackles and snarls.
Fully rebuilt and featuring goodies like an Edelbrock intake
manifold, Holley double pumper carburetor, an upgraded cam, and MSD
ignition, it loves to rev but pulls with big torque at any speed.
It has clearly been dressed to look purposeful, with beautifully
finished inner fenders, a custom molded firewall, aluminum dress-up
parts, and hidden wiring and plumbing, all of which was done with
aesthetics in mind. A big aluminum radiator helps keep it nice and
cool, even when you're in traffic, and even with the big cam, it
never seems fussy. The suspension is augmented by an Air Ride setup
that gives it that in-the-weeds look and there's a disc brake at
all four corners. A 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission sends
thrust back to a 9-inch Ford rear end full of 3.73 gears and it
rides on a set of cool Torque Thrust wheels inside low-profile
performance radials for a true Pro Touring look.
This car's extensive list of modifications and equipment really
