1965 CHEVY NOVA 2D, I am the second owner of this ca, I purchased it in 1989 from the original owner who bought it new in San Fransisco I even have the factory bill of sale from the dealershi, it was built by me over a course of 2 year, that was 10 years ago since then its been in a heated garage here in Santa Cruz CA. This car was an original 6 cal. power glide car with sport coupe tri, I have since then installed a 66 327 cid engine roller cam, lifters and fuel pump push rod (it has a roller tip on it ). Its balanced and blue printed and turns out 390h, its coupled to a built THM350 tranny and the rear end is a GM 8.25 geared 3:55 posi . the rear suspension has de arched custom three leaf spring set up with large cylinder gas shock, drum brakes are on the rear . The front in has a Martz chassis with manual disc brakes they work fine but could use a larger disc in the fron, the wheels are 17" billet wheel vinteqes rally rim, its got a duel electric fan Ron Davis racing radiato, and lots of billet and chrome under the hoo, I worked a lot on hiding all wires for a clean loo, the interior has OEM interior that is very new and nic, the floor pan was seam sealed and then coated and padded for nois, the exhaust is duel pipes with an H pipe dumping into Spin Tech mufflers for a great soun, the paint and body is nice its aftermarket Burgundy mist from the shirwinn Williams automotive paint divisio, the car a duel subwoofer with separates up front and duel amps in the trun, the dash has a NOS corvair tach that was converted to 12 volt it matches the original nova tach that is so hard to find . Also a NOS factory dash top clock that was an option to the nova (this is a very very rare piece ) some notes on the bad stuf, over the years of life its got a few dings and Knicks and the rear trunk trim has some dent, ,,,,also because I don't drive it that often the tranny and rear engine seal seep fluid I just keep a flat pan under the car it seeps just enough to keep the pan wet so its not a lot ..... all and all this car is fun to drive . this car is an ss clone resto rod
