Details

Known as 'Super Nova,' this Resto-Mod was originally born as a 1967 Chevy II Nova 400 and underwent a no-expense-spared transformation. The Nova is powered by a 427ci Dart SHP (special high performance) V8 engine with LS components. The engine was built by Don Hardy Engines and C&G American Muscle Cars and can produce nearly 700hp. The goal for the engine was to generate as much power as possible yet still make it streetable, reliable and fun to drive. Some of the parts and upgrades to the engine include a 4.125 bore, Diamond pistons, ZL1 heads, Cam Motion camshaft, Dart intake and exhaust valves, and much more. The engine is mated to a 4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. Suspension upgrades include TCI front and rear clips with adjustable coilovers, rack & pinion steering, Wilwood disc brakes, electric e-brake, Ford 9-inch rear end with 3.50 gears, new fuel tank and fuel lines. 'Super Nova' is finished in Victory Red that polished to a mirror-like finish and ceramic-coated. The Chevy rides on 18x8-inch and 19x8-inch Billet Specialties Toploader wheels. Other features include upgraded headlights, LED taillights, smoothed cowl vent, custom leather interior, AutoMeter gauges, Vintage Air, a Billet Specialties steering wheel, custom smoothed dash and Bluetooth button in glovebox to play Pandora. Completed with just 500 miles on the drivetrain, it comes with a large file of build receipts and dyno sheet.
