DESCRIPTION
Only 730 miles since a high end meticulous build! Supercharged 540 big block! It was estimated at a nearby custom shop this would cost $175,000-$200,000 to duplicate! This stunner is set up to hit the streets and hit the shows. Turn some heads, snap some necks and have some fun!
EXTERIOR: Now if that isn\'t bad ass! The engine is almost as tall as the roof! The Deep Impact Blue over Silverstone paint job is top quality. It was applied with extreme attention to detail then polished to a smooth and slick finish. Tasteful hand painted pinstriping accentuates the custom two tone paint. Looking do the side of the 100% laser straight body you will notice crisp lines and smooth contours. The side emblems were removed for an even sleeker look. All the panels are expertly aligned with consistent gaps that rival a new Mercedes. The doors open with minimal effort and virtually close themselves. Up front it has a show quality chrome bumper, a mint GM grill and modern headlights with the turn signals built in. All the glass is smoked, not tinted. It also has dual side mirrors. The stance is adjusted just right and it\'s sitting on a set of polished Mickey Thompson wheels wrapped in M/T tires; 24x5 15\" fronts and ginormous 29x18 15\" out back.
INTERIOR: When sitting in the custom wrapped low back seats you will notice the side bar for the roll cage is lowered giving easy access to the driver and passenger. The seats themselves are comfortable with ample support. Between them is a custom mounted TCI ratchet shifter. Custom door panels matching the seats also have integrated armrests and billet levers. The dash pad has been replaced and the remaining dash was custom painted and hand pinstriped. An aftermarket gauge bezel has been adorned with Auto Meter Pro-Comp gauges. A shift light, boost retard, and toggle switches for the electric fan and fuel pump are neatly mounted under the dash. Behind your seat is all business, housing the rest of the custom roll cage and huge wheel tubs plus everything is custom carpeted and upholstered. The headliner and carpet were also replaced and even the dome light works.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Boy, if this isn\'t intimidating, I don\'t know what is! A 540 big block with a polished Weiand blower, dual blacked out 750 Quick Fuel carbs and a polished scoop sitting as high as the roof! Internally it has 8.5:1 blower pistons plus Comp Cams camshaft and push rods. It also has a complete hydraulic roller set up. Bolted to the block is a set of Jet Hot coated headers, aluminum Brodix ported heads and a set of polished vintage style M/T valve covers. It gets its spark from a trusty 6-AL MSD ignition system. So, this monster of a motor is set up to be driven, a smaller pulley on the blower can make over 1,000 horsepower. But make no mistake, in this configuration there is still enough power to scare the hell out of your passengers! The engine is full of polished parts and is highly detailed, it\'s like looking at mechanical jewelry!
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: A custom prop rod holds the lid up. Under the trunk lid and inside the jam are painted slick just like the body. All the hardware is new including the latch. Inside is pristine, plus it\'s all custom boxed and carpeted. It now contains the fuel cell, external fuel pump, and battery in a custom enclosure.
UNDERSIDE: Upfront is a TCI tubular sub frame painted body color, complete with a modern rack & pinion steering and tubular control arms with polished QA-1 adjustable coil over shocks. A welded in custom frame has been integrated and a completely custom back half was constructed to accommodate the ginormous tires. The rear suspension consists of a 4 link system with tubular control arms, with triangulated bar and QA-1 coil over shocks. Aero Space disc brakes at all 4 wheels with polished billet calipers and massive rotors. Complete custom-built exhaust system. Looking up at the body color motor it has an extra capacity oil pan, high torque starter and a chrome flywheel cover. The tough built Turbo 400 automatic has a Hughes 3500 stall, reverse manual valve body, deep sump pan, and a remote cooler. In back is a fully rebuilt 8 3/4 rear end painted to match the car with reinforced backbone and 4.10 posi gears. The floors are pristine with an even coat of satin black paint.
SERVICE: We ran this car through our shop and the only thing they noticed is the speedometer was 10 mph fast. It is extremely dialed in!
The perfect blend of show and go! Boasting top quality paint and performance this Pro Street Nova has the best of everything built into a very attractive and street friendly package. It all makes sense; it would cost more than double the asking price to replicate and it only has 730 miles since completion. This car is so nice we keep
