Less than 1,800 miles on a rotisserie restoration! Talk about a sleeper, painted gray with poverty wheels. Then bam.... the red interior pops and there's a 454 under the hood. It comes with a protect-o-plate, born an SS.
EXTERIOR: Check it out! The color, quality and stance are impressive. The panels are all straight and the gaps are like a Mercedes. Painted in the popular Nardo Gray without a vinyl top. It's polished smooth and glossy. Even the jambs are slick. All the chrome and trim were replaced including the SS emblems, tail panel, and hood grills. All new glass, seals and weatherstrips. It sits a little higher in back and has painted 14 inch wheels with poverty hubcaps at all four corners. They are wearing BFG sneakers.
INTERIOR: I love the red interior, what a great contrast against the gray. It looks new from carpet to headliner. Down on the floor is nice fitting red carpet, reproduction mats, red GM seatbelts and best of all: a Hurst 5-speed! The upholstery is all new and fits right. Side panels, armrests and handles were replaced. The dash area is mint: dash pad, repainted metal, plastic bezel, speedometer, controls etc. New deluxe wheel on a tilt column. Above is a new, tight fitting headliner and working dome light. It's a radio delete, the music comes from those tailpipes as your shifting.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: A wolf in sheep's clothes, labeled a 396 but it's actually a 454! GM never built a little Nova with a motor that big. It was completely rebuilt, and Dyno tuned at 368 hp and 446 lbs of torque. This motor compartment looks like it just left the factory. The motor has a factory aluminum intake, chrome valve covers and air cleaner, upgraded with Patriot headers. The cooling system is complete with rubber seat, shroud, reproduction hoses and clamps. It has reproduction spring clamp cables. Features include power steering and brakes with a cadmium plated booster. All the components look new and proper. All the metal surfaces are painted smooth and tidy. It's a detailed compartment.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and the jamb are painted slick. Inside is clean metal neatly spatter painted. The weatherstrip, seat divider and decals were replaced.
UNDERSIDE: The body was removed from the frame and everything else for that matter. It was flipped on a rotisserie so the underside could be restored like new. The subframe was replaced with a new upgraded one. The entire front end steering and suspension is new. Subframe connectors tie the front to the back to prevent body twist. The rear springs and bushings were replaced. Up graded Gas shocks all around. The brake system was completely rebuilt, it has disc in front and the e-brake is hooked up. The fuel system was completely replaced. The exhaust was replaced and has a crossover pipe and Flowmaster muffler. Looking up at the motor I see spotless Chevy Orange and a new high torque starter. The trans was upgraded with a 5-speed Tremec, of course new shifter and clutch. The rebuilt driveshaft leads back to a 3.55 posi 12 bolt rear. The floors, braces, chassis is spotless smooth metal painted satin black.
SERVICE: We thoroughly inspected the car and replaced the lighter, ashtray and rubber bumpers, replaced the blower switch, tightened the visors and mirror and replaced a leaking pinion seal.
This is a high quality build. Fit and finishes top to bottom are exceptional. Did I say I love the colors? I do! Driving it is the past part, shiftin those gears!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car, your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year membership.
