Up for sale is a vehicle that can wet the appetite of any muscle car enthusiast out there. This frame-off restored 1970 Chevrolet Nova is a street legal, street driven machine where no expense has been spared in order to provide the best looks and driving experience available for a car with this kind of horsepower. Although the power and torque this vehicle is capable of is impressive it has been built to be driven on the roads and is actually a very reliable, street driven vehicle. It has never been raced on a track and has been driven on several long trips to many shows in the area. It never disappoints and always draws a crowd anywhere it goes.
As stated earlier, the car was taken off the frame and completely taken down to bare metal to ensure there were no issues with the paint. The frame was upgraded to a pro-street set up in order to be able to withstand the amount of horsepower this car produces and to also accept the tubbed rear end. The car and frame were painted the beautiful red color that it now maintains. The under side of this car is as pretty as the body. Take a look at the undercarriage photos and you can see the detail and care that was taken in restoring this car. The rear end has been fully tubbed to allow wider tires in the rear end. All of the weld seams were filled so the frame appears totally smooth and weld free. The interior was fully restored also to not only provide looks that accent the vehicle paint but also to provide safety and comfort.When the paint job was complete the custom designed "Rat Fink"that you see on the trunk lidwas professionally airbrushed on. As you can see it is beautifully done and really sets the car off. The full roll cage has been painted the car color and the four point harnesses provide safety for the driver and passenger. The custom instrument cluster includes brand new gauges which really highlight the interior.
Once the body was complete the restoration moved to the mechanical side. Only the best parts were put into this build to ensure the reliability and strength needed to maintain a vehicle with this kind of power. The suspension is made up of QA1 Coil Overs front and back along with ladder bars. The rear end is a GM 12 bolt housing with spooled Moser 3.73 gear ratio with Dana axles that ensure a solid hook up and a very streetable ride. A vehicle of this size and weight needs to stop so power front disc brakes were installed and are more than capable of stopping this vehicle when the need arises. The vehicle was professionally re-wired so that there were no issues with old wiring. The vehicle is supplied fuel by an aluminum fuel cell.
The motor that is in this vehicle is a thing of beauty. The basic information on the motor is that it is a Chevrolet 454 4 bolt main that has been line bored .60 over which makes it a 468.
