Details

This professionally built Pro-Touring 1971 Chevrolet Nova is powered by a 6.2-liter V8 Camaro SS Gen V LT1 engine with direct injection producing 455hp paired with a Hydramatic 8L45 8-speed automatic transmission. In 2020 the engine was professionally outfitted with a new Champion radiator and cooling fan, new alternator, new water pump, new fuel pump and new power steering pump, Dirty Dingo engine and accessory mounts, Holley oil pan, Dakota Digital signal converter and AutoMeter oil sender. This former show winner underwent a ground-up restoration several years ago, which included all-new sheet metal (with the exception of the roof), including new hood, quarter-panels, doors, fenders (inner/outer and front/rear), trunk pans and floor pans. It features a Detroit Speed mini-tub kit, new headlights, new taillights and weatherstripping. Finished in Sinful Cinnamon paint, this Nova has Global West upper and lower control arms, 2-inch drop spindles, 1-inch drop coils, 1-1/4-inch front sway bar, KONI shocks and 4-inch drop in the rear. Stopping power is provided by a Wildwood master cylinder and drilled and slotted disc brakes on all four corners. This Nova is additionally equipped with a GM 10-bolt 8.2-inch rear end with 3.73 gears and Auburn posi-traction, subframe connectors and power rack & pinion steering. The interior was redone in 2020 with new door panels, new headliner, RECARO-style racing seats, new seat belts, new carpet, cupholders, stereo and AutoMeter Pro gages and cluster. This ride is kept cool with a Vintage Air climate control system. Many receipts and photos of the restoration process are included.
