71 Chevy Nova Sedan

Picked up this on Friday. Got it unloaded today and put a hot battery on it. It fired right up and runs great. Its got a 400 smallblock in it. Looking at the valve covers it seems to be a old GM crate motor. I will check the code on the block to verify. Need a back glass, brakes, tires and floorpans. Should be an easy one to get back on the road. I did get a full set of Slotted mags with a spare rear wheel.

Nice find. That would make a cool family cruiser [cl
Let us know what's next [

Located a back glass locally on another forum. Now got to order some nice white letter 14" tires. There is a truckers Chrome shop here that polishes Aluminum pretty cheap. Going to take a couple of these wheels to them to see how they turn out. Think im going to keep the sloted mags on this one.

Love the aluminum slots. I myself would not polish them though.

Nice find!

Looks like the last new car my Grandma had. Hers was a 72

Found that it already has some Hi Jackers on it. Yay..

Added 50 psi to see if they hold air.. yep they do..


Adjusted some on the 2 Jet and got a little bit of brakes on it. Still needs a complete bleed. But it will stop and hold as of now. Drove it down the road and let some smoke out of a tire. Lots of torque with this 2 barrel on it.


Two Moredoors together..

I located a complete new floor pan from a family member who is a Nova guy. And a Cowl Hood from a friend thats building a Nova too. Now got to find a backseat..

cool project. Cant wait to see it with the cowl hood. I came across a 4 door that I wanted a few years ago, I wanted to put the SS vents in the hood and some rally wheels

My first car was a 1970 Nova 2 door... man I LOVE those cars... I've built 3 of them... a 68, 70 and 72...

Are ya gonna use it as a daily or send it to a new owner?

I will be driving it some. I have my 64 C10 that im making back into my daily driver now. I may use it to barter with. I will be looking to get a Wagon to build. We have been wanting to build a Wagon for a while now.

My pops finally came by to check on my projects and I let him hear the Nova run. He asked what transmission was in it? Hell I dont know haven't even looked. Ive only driven it about 500 ft down the road and back a couple times. He said it sounds like a powerglide. I said what do you mean. He said that whine its making. Well it dont have powersteering so the only whine would be from the transmission. So I drove it again further and sure enough it still has the factory Glide still in it. The old guy knew what he was talking about. As usual..

I stopped and did another burnout and this time both wheels grabbed which got it to slide sideways some. Good Times..

I picked up the floor pans from a cousin who didnt need them anymore.


Also picked up a Comp Cam and ordered a dual plane intake for my 402BBC.

Hope to get the floor pans in real soon. [
