1966 Chevrolet Nova. This is the cleanest, straightest, most rust free and beautifully painted 66/67 Nova that I’ve seen since the mid 70s.
Probably because the car has been a garaged weekend warrior/drag car for decades. The original interior and exterior steel is there and uncut. Except for the hood cut for the ProStock scoop, the front wheel wells for headers and the floor cuts to make it easier to install/dial in the mono leaf/4 link rear suspension and frame/subframe additions.
With a best of 9.77 and 150+ mph this car is solid and fun. Not scary, but also, 0 to 150 in less than 10 seconds is not for the weak at heart. I planned on putting this car back on the street as a pro street car. It wouldn’t take much work to do so. I installed and got the lights working.
Switch out the race mufflers, radiator and slicks and you’re good to cruise. The rear is a 4.56 posi, not a spool. However, my plans have changed. This car is built for speed and safety. Safety loops for the drive shaft and suspension links. Internal/external kill switches in case you go rubber up. Reverse lock out, manual valve body power glide is new as is the 5K stall converter. 477 cubic inches.
All motor. No enhancers ever. Crank trigger. 4 stage throttle stop for bracket racing. Will run currently on premium. Intake and exhaust ports matched Brodix Big Brodie heads with girdles, of course. Dart intake. Holley 1550 Chevy Dominator carb. Race or street. This Nova is no poser and once fired up, obviously means business.
