The 3rd Nova has always been my favorite Muscle car. To me I think it has the most aggressive true muscle car look. I’ve countless pictures and videos of these Novas and hards down by far my favorite. That stance should have a patent out on it the builder absolutely NAILED IT!!!!!😍😍😍😍
Rallies are a Love or Hate wheel and I just love them. I hated them when I was a young man and now appreciate them so much. Beside the Marina Blue, the Fathom Green is just beautiful. This Nova just screams "Enjoy Me"... Just sickening Beautiful.
Sweet ride 👍 friend of mine (A Nova Enthusiast) built a 1969 "Yenko Tribute Resto Mod" he calls it..Has a 427ci. with 600+hp on gas 5-speed all the performance/comfort of a modern car (disc brakes, power steering, suspension, ect.) but the look of the original "Yenko".. I told him he was a little crazy considering he told me that it would be around $45,000 & he was gonna be doing over half the labor.. Well over $50,000 later and 3 yrs of weekends he finally finished it he has his ultimate "Dream Nova"🤷
I have watched this video so many times! Absolutely love this Nova! This and the 73 LT that was left an LT are probably my two favorite vehicles the two of you have had in the videos!
Hey guys, this is the appraiser guy again.I am wondering if I heard a little fear from Chad's voice? I'm not gonna lie, that Nova will make any man a bit of confusion.Take care guys and keep the kick-ass, DOMINATING Videos comin
Cool car. I love those Novas!! Noticed the coolant leak on intake. Hopefully, that's only coming from the thermostat housing and not seaping from the intake. 735hp should be enough to make this car drive fast enough to tear that vinyl top off the roof. Vinyl has no business on the roof of a sports car IMO, but that's a matter of personal taste. 10 bolt rear out back on a 540 with a manual trans is basically a grenade with the pin pulled. Not a matter of if, but when that thing comes apart! :)
@@musclebone7875 On the street, it's probably ok because you're just gonna blow the tires up out back. At the strip with a little bit of glue down and a manual trans, that rear wouldn't stand a chance.
@@WisdomOverWicked777Rules Differential size is limited in that housing. Even if the guy upgraded from the original 8.5 ring gear and 28 spline axle setup, their options are limited due to that style housing. I had a stroked small block making 525hp at the crank and I “upgraded” my 8.5 10 bolt with an Eaton trutrac differential and 30 spline axles. It held up, but that motor is a fraction of what this one is advertised at. There is a reason why people use a 9inch in big power applications. If this guy is tooling around town, they’re probably ok because they won’t hook. If they hook, that thing quickly becomes the weak link in the driveline.
A friend has a Nova that was the first RS made. It is in hunter green with black Vinyl top. Came from factor with 350 Corvette motor. At time of purchase, it was the 3rd most expensive produced. Yours is also very nice.
Memory lane, built my first 63 Nova 2 from the ground up. then a 71, not mention a few Cameros starting with my 67. Looking to buy a few classics before the end of the year. Will definitely keep an eye on your inventory. Thanks for sharing.
First thing I saw was the perfect stance and the big wheels / tires. These Novas can look like crap when the rear leaf springs sag. When they sit right, the design of the body pops out.

Yeah and on the green 77 malibu video they supposedly bought and replaced brand new seat belt strap covers on the ceiling at $500 but the arm rest for this car is only $20bucks lol. Typical sales clowns!.
@@GuyKirk A 10 bolt ( 10 bolts on the rear cover , 10 bolts holding the ring gear to the carrier} is the weaker 8.2 inch ring gear 28 spline axle that was the weakest standard issue rear differential. This car has an upgraded later 8.5 10 bolt....but most guys who put that kind of power in a car...usually opt for a 12 bolt ( only available up to the 70 model year)....or a ford 9 inch retrofit.

That's the cool thing about these cars, you don't like green???? But on this car it's cool!!!!! ETC!!!!! I HAD A 70 SS350 THAT PUSHED 450HP AND IT WUZ CRAZY FAST, I WOULD LUV TO DRIVE THIS ONE!!!!
Hello and how are you?? Have you got perhaps something similar for sale right now??( I guess this beautiful car has been sold already) If you still have IT please contact me here... Many thanks. Have a great Christmas 🎄 🤶 🎁. Peace ✌
As a car enthusiast , i know this nova is NOT a true SS = factory. 2 many people these days want 2 clone vehicles and a person not knowing any better gets sold a car that is NOT a true SS. People get taken advantage of by not knowing what 2 look 4 !
Then they didn’t do their research if they get taken. I don’t believe in cloning as it’s portraying it as something it’s not. I have a big block, TH400, 12 bolt, rallys, SS hood in my 70 Chevelle Malibu but not an SS emblem anywhere and all original Malibu emblems on it.
That's gotta be one of the best and tastefully done Nova's I have seen!
Agreed

Beautiful beautiful Nova. Leaking antifreeze from top hose.
I've never been a fan of the nova looks but the more I look at and watch them especially hauling ass down the highway I've grown to love them
My first car was a 72 Nova I will always love them.

Nova platform 68--+74 Exc choice for ext HP and going forward being pushed by Limited Slip Differential. Drivein these platforms since 1983❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nice coolant leak at thermostat housing
No wipers😂🤣😂

Finally someone has common sense and goes with a manual transmission.
I had a 69 super sport back in 1970. It had a 396ci with a 375hp, and a Muncie 4 speed. With headers,Holly 650,it was a demon, to drive!

$25000 in the drivetrain and it has a 10 bolt rear....and I couldn't tell if it has frame connectors....735hp you want a 12 bolt and connectors.

the chevy nova is my DREAM car.
Yes a lot of guys like myself would rather spend money on the engine than a paint job, paint doesn’t make it fast. 😎👍🏻
But, on the other hand as Randy Travis says, if it has a killer paint job, it don’t have to be fast.
Beautiful, just beautiful.
I can’t believe it only has a 10 bolt!
Yep, should have a 4-link and a 12 bolt. 10 bolts are tough. But none were ever put behind SS drive-trains.....................
That was the only disappointment I saw
@@dominicpetruzzelli3134 you guys are idiots it's a 8.5" 10 bolt! It will last!
@@Charlie_Prinz CalTracs and a 9 inch is more like it if this Nova makes anywhere close to that 735 hp claim.

Beautiful car. Someone is going to be very lucky. Or is very lucky, I should say.
When he turned the key in the garage, I yelled, SOLD!
Mean Machine !!!! Wow lucky buyer !!!
Agreed
Not a nova fan, nor a fan of green.
But damn! That is a nice car!
Just a couple of very little details needed.
Wow!
I love it!👍
Nothing has been overlooked.
4 mins later: needs a new driver arm rest. $10-$20 to replace. 😂
No 1971 model car will be perfect, but this one is nice...
Work of man art

beautifully done.. nice.. get coil overs, 4 link and it be complete
Gorgeous
Cream of the crops for sure. 🏆💪💃💃💃
So simple and well done.
If this previous builder spent so much money on the motor (and is supposed to be a Nascar builder) why is their a 10 bolt in it .
I was going to say that too, but I'll just give you thumbs up. That 10 bolt won't last.

How much did this gem sell for?
Nice car.
I like the 1967 Camaro.
Sorry I would have to see the dyno sheet on that one?
Need to work on shifting brother, but you damn sure have some nice cars
Needs bigger tires on back
The problem being, if you get a flat,, I hop you have the correct tire in the trunk,, ( 2 tires ?,, that will add to weight...
No no no
It’s got 275/60/15

This Nova is just the way i like it. Love the color Dark/Green only missing the rally stripes. Blk.
That's his shit and he's missing gears bad driving boy
When you miss you fuck up the whole video
I agree. This color green looks better with black stripes. Especially with BLK vinyl top. Its a beauty.
Where are you located at?
nice looking car but seamed to be sluggish. would have to see dyno sheet to believe 735!!!
That car is better built than the garbage they make today!
I'll bet it's a fun car to drive
The corvette rally caps would have looked better. Thats what I had on my 70 monte
How much$...?
Omg what a monster. That was a sweet ride

freaking sweet!
Somebody screwed up @1.42 of the video, obviously not a 350 CI engine as it's stating.
