Details

This custom black metallic 1969 Chevrolet Nova underwent a Pro-Street frame-off build. It is powered by a custom-built ARP LS1 347ci engine with LS1 Pro Series heads and twin 55mm turbos with a Quick Fuel blow-through carburetor and adjustable boost controller. The engine exhaust flows through a 3-inch stainless-steel system with polished Borla mufflers and was tuned by Mark Roman of Northern California. The engine also comes supported by an extra-large intercooler and Griffin radiator with dual fans. The Turbo 400 automatic transmission has a Gear Vendors overdrive unit along with a 2700-rpm stall converter with a transmission brake. The custom-built 9-inch aluminum center housing rear end is hooked up to a Chris Alston 4-link and 4.11 ratio gears with Currie axles. The shifter is a TCI Outlaw with reverse pattern. The front chassis has tubular control arm suspension with QA1 coilovers and power rack & pinion steering. The car has Billet Specialties wheels wrapped in Hoosier tires, as well as Wilwood 4-wheel disc brakes. The black-and-silver-stitched interior is from TMI with custom bucket seats and 5-point harness seat belts. Between the seats lives a custom-made fiberglass and leather console, with the boost controller hidden in the storage compartment. It includes a custom carbon-fiber dash with AutoMeter gauges and a Vintage Air heating system. The trunk features an aluminum fuel cell and a stainless-steel battery box. Everything on this car is brand-new. This Nova was built for the street and was completed on October 16, 2023.
