1966 Chevy Nova 2 Door Sedan. We have owned this car for 19 years (yes since 1994) As far as I know it has always been an Arizona car. As far as we know wew bought the car from the 3rd owner. I drove the car as purchased for a lot of years, doing small little upgrades and upkeep along the way, always knowing one day I would have the chance to really build a street car that I wanted since high school. 7 years ago I began that process and it took me over 4 years to get the car to the point I could drive it again. My plan always was to build the car I couldnt build when I was young, I have done that now and it is really a perfect car. We have loaded over 150 pictures on the link below, I have nothing to hide and an very willing to have the car inspected or appraised.
Body is rust free/bondo free and about as perfect as you will find, paint is base coat/clear coat black and it is as black of black we could find. It is probably considered a 9 out of 10, I have not buffed the car or waxed it in about 2 years, since the build it has been covered and in the garage, the only thing dulling the paint being the cover coming on and off from time to time.
Interior is also about a 9 out of 10. Factory seats recovered in after market factory look as well as door panels and headliner. Carpet has also been replaced and is very nice new condition. Half way through the build I decided that I really wanted to relive the days of drag racing. Did not cut up or butcher anything to achieve that but did install a certified cage. Back seats are still fully functionable just requires a little climb. We did make sure the cage can come out with out messing up interior or paint, it can and pretty easy.
Because my plan changed to not only run on the street and cruise but to also do some drag racing I had to build the motor, transmission, rearend and brakes that would do it all. With all that done I have only ran the car 2 times on an actual drag strip. Its fast! first pass (and I had not been behind the wheel on a strip in 20 years I ran 10:42 in the quarter, yes thats only on the motor! The car is set up to run nitrous but it has never been run in the car and the plumbling line from the bottle to the 4 stage sprayer has never been plumbed. The car just doesnt need it although it can take it. Second run was 10:66. After that I just couldnt do it anymore, I had visions of the thousands of dollars I had spent being wasted on a wreck or someone else stupidity. Here is the list and happy to answer any questions about it. "509" GM block, splayed main caps, scat 4340 steel crank, 6inch scat H-beam, All ARP, SRP flat top forged pistons, speed pro plasma moly rings gapped correctly for nitrous, dart iron eagle 215cc runner with gasket match 1206 with bowl blend, stainless valve, bullet roller springs, titanium retainers, jesel shaft rockers 1.6i/1.5ex, comp billet timing set, comp push rods, bullet solid roller cam, crower lifters w/hippo, super victor intake, ARP thoughout. Transmission is a Hughs Powerglide and it is built to handle 700hp plus on a bottle or not. Rear end is a 9inch with all the best of the best just like motor and trans, happy to provide details, 4 wheel disc brakes, line lock and trans brake. yes I went all out and spent a small furtune doing it.
Take a close look at all the welds, the 4 link, the lines, the quality of parts used and know you are buying a car that no expense was spared, no item over looked, no short cuts, no issues and no problems. I have put about 1000 miles on the car now in 3 years. Although I have 3 sons who love the car, our oldest in now confined to a wheel chair and I have been letting go of a lot of toys to help him live better on his own. This is a super car, have cruise it and enjoyed a couple of awards and a lot of crowd gatherings around it. It is not to loud to enjoy, the mufflers keep it sounding right though.
I am sure that I have left 100 plus things ive left out of the listing, its hard to remember everything after so many years. The car will not disapoint!
What does it still need, I have not put on the small lights that go in the front bumper, (although I did wire for them) no chrome trim on trunk or emblems intalled and I would consider new tires just because these are older now and I really like new tread on my cars. Please look at the detail and notice that i used only the best available parts to build this car. I have owned many cars in my life from 1930-2013, ford, chevy, dodge, hotrods and muscle cars, not to many out there like this anymore, enjoy.

Weekly Recap: Geneva's splendor reflects growing demand for ultra-luxury cars
Sat, Mar 7 2015Geneva is one of the most glittering auto shows in the world, but the list of high-powered and bespoke luxury cars was decadent this year even by the rich standards of the Swiss exhibition. It's great for enthusiasts to revel in the flame-throwing Aston Martin Vulcan, the racing-inspired elegance of the Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6 concept and the insane performance of the Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 Superveloce, but there's a reason for all of this opulence: the luxury market is big business. And it's growing. IHS Automotive forecasts that so-called ultra-premium sales will nearly triple this decade from 123,000 to 353,000 units around the world. The estimate includes brands like Aston Martin, Bentley, Ferrari and Rolls-Royce, but doesn't count BMW, Mercedes and Audi, which offer less expensive models in addition to their high-end flagships. Though IHS includes Porsche and its relatively large volume in the study, the ultra-premium segment is still set grow at about the same rate, even without the German automaker's figures. So what is propelling all of this growth in the most expensive segment of the auto industry? Put simply, there's more rich people. IHS Automotive principal analyst Tim Urquhart pointed to economic expansion in China, market recovery in the United States and a surge in the lucrative technology sector as contributing factors. This dovetails with a research report by UK-based Oxfam, an international relief organization, which found the world's richest one-percent owned 48 percent of global wealth in 2014, and it's expected to increase to more than 50 percent by 2016. View 17 Photos Carmakers are moving quickly to capitalize with new products, expanding their portfolios with low-volume speedsters like the 800-hp V12 Vulcan at Geneva, and plans to enter new segments, like Rolls-Royce's strategy to make an SUV. "Ultra-premium carmakers are looking to explore ways of growing their product offerings, and thus their bottom lines, in this most potentially profitable of segments," Urquhart wrote in a report on the Geneva show. In a nutshell, there are more choices for people with more money. It's a good time to have expensive taste. Other News & Notes 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata production launches It won't be long now.

Deep discounts — $12K, $13K, $16K — are fueling a pickup price war
Mon, Jun 4 2018Heavy discounts of up to $16,000 per vehicle are fueling a "truck war" among full-size pickups sold in the United States by the Detroit Three, a Reuters analysis shows. Strong U.S. sales this year of the highly profitable big trucks have helped offset lagging passenger car sales. But it is not clear how much of the truck demand is linked directly to ample factory incentives and dealer discounts, or how far sales might decline without those subsidies. A Reuters survey of Ford, General Motors Co's Chevrolet and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles's Ram truck dealers across the United States indicates stores are offering deep discounts the country's bestselling full-size pickup trucks. "The walls are not crashing down on full-size trucks," said Sam Fiorani, vice president of global vehicle forecasting at AutoForecast Solutions in Chester Springs, Pennsylvania. Detroit-based automakers want to keep cranking out their high-margin trucks, he added, and "giving up a little of the profit is the cheapest way to do it." Stores are offering discounts of up to $12,000 on the 2018 Ford F-150, which remains the best-selling vehicle in the country, recording more than 80,000 sales in May. Discounts run up to $13,000 on the 2018 Chevrolet Silverado and as high as $16,000 on the Ram 1500. Average transaction prices for full-size pick-ups range from around $42,000 to $45,000, industry analysts and automakers say. All three companies are spending furiously - GM and Fiat Chrysler to help sell off carryover 2018 trucks to prepare for redesigned 2019 models, and Ford to sustain its long-held sales crown. A supplier fire that temporarily shut down production of the F-150 last month "changed the game," said Jeff Schuster, senior vice president of forecasting at LMC Automotive in Troy, Michigan said. The supply halt nudged Ford's crosstown rivals "to ratchet up incentives on the current models to go after weakness at Ford," he said. Deals advertised on the companies' official websites range from rebates and low-interest loans to ultra-cheap lease rates, but they are not telling the whole story. Ford, for instance, advertises a $2,000 rebate and a $500 financing credit on sales of certain F-150 models. But James Collins Ford in Louisville, Kentucky, is offering discounts of up to $12,215 on the 2018 F-150 XLT SuperCrew 4x4. The price cuts are even steeper at a number of GM and Fiat Chrysler dealers. Quirk Chevrolet is selling the 2018 Silverado 1500 Double Cab at $13,000 off sticker.
