Complete Restoration

Looking for the perfect Nova? This is it. This original 1971 Nova was purchased at Paul Smith Chevrolet in Alabama where it spent most of its life. The car has only had two owners since new. The last owner had her for the last 12 years.

I took the car completely apart, every inch of this car has been addressed. The car was paint stripped down to the metal. The body was perfect, I had to replace the floors due to the heater core leaking under the original rubber floor mat, I have picture to document the process. The car was re-painted with GM code 19, Tuxedo Black, the car is finished in clear coat. The vinyl top is new, I was able to clean and restore the original chrome quarter trim.    

The numbers matching driveline has been rebuilt. The original 350 engine is now pushing a very impressive 290hp.  I replaced the original manual 3 speed for a new Muncie 4 speed. The original 10 bolt rear end was taken apart, sandblasted, rebuilt with an Eaton 3.55 posi unit.  During the build I installed a new set of multi leaf springs, shackle kit, shocks, and all new brakes, including hardware and drums.  The sub-frame was removed, broken down, sandblasted, painted and rebuilt with a new power front disc brake kit. I also installed a new fuel tank and sending unit, all new steel 3/8 fuel line, and front to back steel and rubber brake lines. I had the factory exhaust manifold ceramic coated, the finish will last a lifetime. The entire exhaust system is new from front to back, 2.5 in pipes with the "H" pipe crossover and 40 series Flowmaster mufflers.  Please see the attention to detail given to the under carriage of the car.  

The interior is completely new. The seats, dash, headliner, and door panels, and carpet all new, I installed heat / sound shield under the carpet. The instrument cluster as been rebuilt, new bulbs, lens, and speedo cable. I installed new glove box insert, horn relay, dimmer switch, headlight switch, new gas, brake, and clutch peddle rubbers with chrome retainers. The peddle assembly has been sandblaster and I installed all new plastic bushings. All the glass in great condition, I installed a new front windshield. Please note the to detail given to the interior during the build.

 All lights, gauges, horn, wipers and key buzzer work like new. All seals, window felts, trim, lenses, and bumpers are new, even the bumper brackets were sandblasted and painted. The wheels are COPO correct 14 x 7 painted steel wheels with dog dish hub caps and their sporting all new set of BF Goodrich 215/70/14 tires.The list of parts and labor are endless.
