Everyone knows that taking weight out is the same as putting horsepower inand#44; so starting with a compact car like the Nova makes a lot of sense when youre trying to build a hot street car. This 1970 Nova SS tribute offers a great-running 355 cubic inch V8and#44; bucket seatsand#44; and a high-visibility look that perfectly captures the dual nature of Chevys right-sized Nova. This car was originally code 45 Green Mistand#44; so you shouldnt wonder why it was covered in gorgeous bright Viper Yellow metallicand#44; and the job was so thorough that its tough find any trace of green paint on the car today. This car shows decent gaps and panel alignmentand#44; which is typical of these sturdy little carsand#44; and the doors close without a big slam. Chevy clearly intended to keep the latest Nova SS low-profileand#44; as the only giveaways are the usual blacked-out SS grilleand#44; 350 badges on the front fenders and a matching black SS panel between the taillightsand#44; although this one also got some high-visibility black Z/28-style stripes and a cowl-induction hood which all look great. Everything elseand#44; from the chrome bumpers to the stainless trim around the wheels archesand#44; is standard Nova equipmentand#44; so this is definitely a car that could have been prowling the streets in 1970. This car also includes a nice-looking black vinyl topand#44; which was original spec and looks as good with yellow paint as it did with green. A vast majority of Novas in 1970 were equipped with the standard bench seat (including this one)and#44; its easy to add buckets and make them look like they belong. The black upholstery is the perfect match to the yellow paintand#44; and the Procar buckets have a vintage yet comfortable look that is like your favorite leather jacket. A Bandamp;M T-handle shifter lives atop the TH350 3-speed automatic transmission and tells you that this Nova is all business. The standard Nova dash and gauge cluster doesnt tell you much about whats going on under the hoodand#44; and is limited to just a speedometer and fuel level gaugeand#44; so a set of aftermarket dials hang underneath with a monster tach up high where it can do some good. We also like that they focused on performanceand#44; so theres no massive stereoand#44; just a simple AM/FM/CD stereo in the dash and yesand#44; youll note that a few pieces inside are still greenand#44; but the look is tidy. Finallyand#44; the trunk is solid and includes a rubber mat and a spare tire with jack. Power comes from a built 355 cubic inch V8 thats a tidy installation in the Novas engine bay. This one makes no pretenses of being stockand#44; starting with a 4-bolt main block thats been bored .010 oversize. Its filled with forged pistonsand#44; machined headsand#44; roller rockersand#44; and an Edelbrock camand#44; and its all fed by a Holley 4-barrel on an Edelbrock intake. The block was painted to match the body and dressed up with plenty of chromeand#44; so you know where the money was really spent on this build. Long-tube headers feed a snarling Flowmaster dual exhaust system that matches the cars outrageous look. A 10-bolt rearand#44; power steering and disc brakesand#44; plus 15-inch Rally wheels and staggered performance radials mean its ready to rock. With a ton of powerand#44; no fussinessand#44; and big performanceand#44; this Nova represents a pretty serious bargain. If your performance tastes run towards light weight and big horsepowerand#44; this screaming yellow Nova might be just the ticket. Call today! |
