  • This one of a kind garage built 'MINIATURE NOVA' is one of the coolest things we have seen in a while! We saw this thing for sale on Craigslist and decided to track it down. Here is the Craigslist Ad ......... Miniature 70 nova. Tube chassis car with fiberglass body and doors. Toyota 8 bolt rear diff, mustang front suspension, Kawasaki zx12r fuel injected engine and 6 speed transmission. Has room in rear fender well to fit a 26x14 tire. Super fast and tons of fun. Highlight every car show and cruise night. Run scca autocross or cruise it into a bike rally or just around town. If you don't like talking to people then this isn't the car for you. I am 6'4'' and I drive it comfortably. $10000 obo clean and clear Missouri title(309)333-604five

      get serious.. you dont realize what theyre worth in work hours alone.
      you cant even get an engine for that price.. and this thing is road legal with a title.
      i would say about 10k . its like buying a unicorn.
      if it was made in metal like a real car with mini panels and stuff then price would be bumped alot.

      @@dphal1937 in dirt racing there is a class call dwarf cars. they use motorcycle engines and toyota rearends. I'm sure but not 100 percent that is how he did his. the dwarf cars are narrower but the drive like is very close. I'm sure there are videos on dwarg cars and legion cars as well. he had moved from my area before he build this car.

    For years I have been considering swapping either a bike engine like that or an ALH diesel into one of my MX5's. I would love to see how the drivetrain is all mated up in this Mini-Nova.

    • @kenfrazee41
      @kenfrazee41 8 лет назад +2

      gotta' be a fairly short legged diff, even considering the larger diam of bike wheels. Sportbike motors get their power at very high rpms and leverage from high final drive ratios. Would guess a Chevy Luv 4.56 would be close to what's needed with a literbike, maybe lower with zx12 or busa type of engine, like this guy.

    • @robsorgdrager8477
      @robsorgdrager8477 7 лет назад +3

      ken frazee most of the times I've seen the bikes trans hooked to a car trans so you can have almost a gear vender under/over drive. I've also seen adapter plates to mate the bike engine and trans straight to a drive shaft and I've seen a jump shaft to chain drive to either , there is a slew of ways to get the thing geared just right. either way this thing could have the potential to be very very fast.

    I am now restoring one of Arthur Geoffrey's Miniature 1901 Oldsmobile's. I bought it over a year ago supposedly in perfect shape on Craig's List and after much arguments with the former owner saying this and that about the car and how wonderful it was. $7,845.00 later I received a Totally water destroyed mini 1901 Oldsmobile half the size represented in the ads and a Totally destroyed piece of trash. I took the Chassis and have redone it and painted it and rebuilt the Motor and Built a completely new body from scratch and I hope within a few weeks I will have a $15,000.00 Miniature 1901 Oldsmobile running. I know I will never recoup my money so I am contemplating allowing the City of Redding, Ca. to use it as a Patrol vehicle on the Sun Dial Sacramento River Trail to protect the walkers from Molesters and Pan Handlers. That way they will have a car that can maneuver on the trains easy and give seniors a ride back if there cannot make it back. It only weighs 499 pounds and can be maneuvered really easy.

    Imagine a night out drinking and you're on the way home and pass this car on the road.

    This car is bad ass, hands down. I built custom cars, trucks, and a couple bikes and with everything that I have built I have an idea on the amount of trial and error type work that went into building this car. Amazing work and craftsmanship. Definitely gives me some ideas, maybe I will build the car I had started planning on building, a Honda CRX with a Chevy 350 motor with an extremely short drive shaft to a severely shortened rear axle just to piss off the import guys

    Did thought in put a V6 on it instead of a Kawazaki when you was building the car?
    Nice little beast. Everyones dream as kids a small cool car for ride on the hood with style (it was my dream at those ages haha)
