This 1971 Chevy Nova is a no-nonsense street/strip machine built to impress and built to run. With a 565ci Big Block Chevy under the hood force-fed by a ProCharger F3R-136 blow-through carb setup, the car combines big cubic inches with serious boost. Backed by an ATI Super Case TH400, a braced 9-inch rear, and a fully sorted suspension and braking package, this Nova is ready to put its power to the pavement. Lightweight fiberglass panels, fresh metalwork, and a clean racing interior round out a build that’s as sharp as it is fast.
Wheels/Tires: Billet Specialties Comp 5 wheels, MT Sportsman SR fronts, MT ET Street 32x17.50 rears
Body/Interior: Fiberglass front end, hood, and bumper; new quarter panels, doors, floor pans; Corbeau seats, RJS harnesses, custom carpet, power windows
Other: Wheelie bars, LED lighting, 965 miles since build
