    I can remember when this car was first completed, I loved it back then and to this day nothing has changed. The car is awesome, & the perfect sleeper!!!

      Just because this car has stock look rims does not make it a sleeper. If you pulled up next to it you would definitely know it had something massive under the hood

    It's funny that growing up in Michigan the 60s and 70s as a child I'd hear engines like this all the time. Usually grandpa had a bad muffler or something. I accidentally(innocently) broke the muffler off my dads ford econoline custom van and it sounded like a dragster; drove it all over town that night before I turned myself in(to dad).

  • @RamblinAround
    @RamblinAround  11 лет назад

    I like the mostly stock appearance of it. It even looks original on the inside. They hid the aftermarket gauges in the glove box, so it would still look stock. It is a wicked fast car. I'll try to get a full video of it another day.

  • @RamblinAround
    @RamblinAround  11 лет назад

    That's good that you're getting a few things done to it. We've been moving pretty slow with my son's Trans Am project lately too. Thanks for taking a look at this Nova.

  • @RamblinAround
    @RamblinAround  11 лет назад

    That's the reason I like this one so much, they really have tried to retain the stock appearance as much as possible.

  • @tomclow4401
    @tomclow4401 3 года назад

    I suspect there’s more to the rear suspension than the stock single leaf springs? Had one this color back in the 70’s with a six banger. Brought back lots of fond memories. Ten foot tall and bullet proof. No rust but the radiator in the hot Arizona sun.
    NICE!

    Wooo!!! Doggie!!! Did someone say; Super Sleeper??? I thought a "Sleeper" was a stock looking car with a "Quiet" Monster under the Hood? That Beast, with that Rumble is anything but a Sleeper!!! What I mean it's AWESOME!!! Thanks for posting that Monster...

    That whine is from the gear drive.....they have replaced the timing chain with a noisy gear drive to intentionally get that sound. I happen to like the sound of it, but it may not be for everyone. Thanks for taking a look!

    That's my favorite part about this car. It looks so original, both inside and out. You'll see when I take a look at the interior later. They hid the gauges in the glovebox...there isn't even a tach in sight. Nobody would suspect it's so crazy fast, right up until you start it.

  • @donweathersbee2863

  • @arthurwatts1680

    I'm assuming that's a flat tappet cam in the big block ? Engine is a bit too noisy for me personally, but the exhaust note is gorgeous.

    Those are custom 17" wheels, but you're right...they definitely could be a little wider. That thing is going to need all the rubber you can stuff under it.

    That's "Fabulous"! The brief description didn't say "Sedan". The Coupe's look good, but I hate the "cheap doors". That's "Wonderful"! I never get to see the 66-67 sedans. I like em' a lot More. If you want a "Nice Car", why not get one with quality doors to climb in and out of? Thanks for sharing it! "Really Nice".
