Details

This one-of-a-kind 1966 Chevrolet Nova II SS was built by Kindig-It Design from the ground up. Taking 12 months to build and finished in 2017, this Nova is painted in Mercedes Hibiscus Red with professionally chromed original trim and a Maxtel H4 light conversion with built-in turn signals. It’s powered by a custom-built Nelson Racing 638ci aluminum-block engine with 96mm twin turbos, backed by an ATI Powerglide 2-speed automatic transmission. The engine bay has numerous modifications, and the bottom of the car has a fully belly pan, hidden second radiator, two transmission coolers and two fuel systems. The custom chassis features independent front suspension and 4-link rear suspension with Wilwood brakes. Body modifications include shaved emblems and tightened bumpers, and the rear wheel wells were stretched 6”. The rocker panels were extended 2' with Kindig-It smooth door handles, and a hidden roll cage was installed. This custom Nova rides on Billet Specialties Reaper wheels wrapped in Pirelli tires. It has a custom stainless exhaust, and the upholstery was professionally done with Can Can Red leather. The interior features modified Corbeau sport seats, Billet Specialties Fury 14” half-wrap steering wheel on an Ididit steering column, one-off Dakota Digital gauges and custom-built pedals. The Nova runs on regular pump gas; however, 100-octane unleaded is preferred.
