1966 Chevy Nova Gasser

Here is a recently built 1966 Chevy Nova Gasser. This is a current restoration that is 95% completed. The car has less than 500 miles on it since it was titled. There have been hundreds of man hours getting this Nova to its present state. The car gets a lot of attention every time it goes out. Here are some of the major features of this car –

• 454 Chevy big block; bored .060 over
• Corvette 427 closed chamber high performance heads; casting # 3873858, with new valves and mild port and polish
• New Scat connecting rods with new Wiseco 10-1/2 to 1 compression pistons.
• 427 forged steel crankshaft – internal assembly balanced
• Classic Edelbrock TR2X dual quad high rise with 2new Holley 600 double pumper carbs and electric fuel pump.
• New Comp solid lifter cam and valve springs with Harland Sharp roller rockers.
• New electronic ignition and distributor
• New Mcleod hydraulic throw-out bearing with new clutch and pressure plate.
• Muncie M21  4-speed  tranny that was professionally rebuilt to M22 Rockcrusher specs including new gears and steel mid-plate.
• New Lakewood scatter shield.
• New custom driveshaft by Denny’s Driveshaft’s.
• New oversized aluminum radiator with dual electric fans.
• Specialty Cars (out of California) front straight axle kit with double tube axle and heavy duty springs.
• Professionally narrowed Ford 9” rearend with rebuilt posi center section; 411 gears and new Moser axles.
•  Competition Engineering back half kit with 4 link rear suspension – fully adjustable.
• 6 point roll bar with removable side bars
• New Prostar wheels both front and back.
• Mickey Thompson front tires, 24 x 5 x 15”  -  back tires: 29 x 18.5 x 15”

The body has new front fenders, door skins, and quarter panels. The car is painted a Thunder Gray Metallic with clear coat. I have the original steel hood which needs cut and painted to clear the carbs. I do have 3/4 of a gallon of paint and 1/2 gallon of clear. The car has all the original chrome and glass which is not in mint shape. If you are looking for an Autorama trailer queen; this is probably not the car for you. However, if you are looking for a fun, fast car to drive to shows that gets a lot of attention; then this could be the car you have been looking for. The car needs a little more attention to get it complete; but all the hard and expensive work has been done. The car has a new Painless wiring harness that needs trimmed and tucked under the dash. There is no heater or wipers installed; but I have the necessary components. The car has never been raced on the street or at the track.

I have the original front fenders; they need work; but can be repaired and sold. I have the original radiator and a bunch of misc items. Also, I have a used set of .060 over 13 to 1 compression pistons and rods for this motor – everything goes with the car.

Thanks for looking.

The car is sold as is with no Warranty.
