I have almost its twin my mom ordered new at Padgett Chevrolet in Morristown Indiana. Radio delete rubber floor and rear window defrost big block 4 speed. She was the younger sister to 2 hot rodding brothers and wanted to show them up lol. I have the car now still in original condition and drive it when I can.
Do you have a specifications sheet on all of the exact same options you have in your video on the rearend? I would like to but the exact same one. Thanks
Hi John...I was struggling with the ride height using the AFCO springs. I had a set of split mono leafs here along with a set of Smith Assassin bars, so....I swapped them out. I think if I would've given the Mopar style springs more effort (like getting them re-arched again), they could have worked fine.
Hi. It's the original lacquer paint on the car (although the tops of the fenders, hood and rockers have been blended in with fresh paint): GM Forest Green Metallic. Trim Tag Code: 48/48. Hope that helps. :)
@@lonewolfhotrodsthank you! I believe that was the OEM color of ny 72 Nova, so I'd like to replicate it. Also curious on the size of the rims and tires? The stance looks great! Possibly lowered a bit?
Front wheels are 15x5 and the backs are custom 15X8's (5.25 or so inch backspace) with P275 drag radials. Ride height was a pain...L-0-L. Mixed and matched front springs, front coil spring spacers (GM used spacers in many production line applications to juggle ride height), rear Calvert split mono springs, etc. I messed around with the parts and tire diameters until I got it where I wanted it. It took some time. :). @@willfeather6383

Love everything about this car the fact that it is a non-SS makes it more of a sleeper and it’s got all the goodies. I would be proud to own this.❤🙏
Thank you! I make the sale to you happen...:)
Insane nice car... We used to buy them for a couple hundred bucks or new for A few thousand Dollars... Now 50 to 100.. grand.
I love it. NOTHING like a sleeper.
Thank you. I tried to keep things low key, but somethings I couldn't hide...
Black vinyl top would look good, car looks great, really nice job.
Thank you. No vinyl tops for me though.., :)
sounds and looks perfect 👍👍😎👍👍
Thank You!
Omg! Sweet nova!
Thank you. It rolls along nicely...L-O-L
Would Love to Put a Big Block in my '71!! Don't have That kind of $$$$!! Love the Sleeper LOOK! cheers!
Thanks!
Nice front yard!
thank you. I love it
Anyone who hears it idle will know it's not a sleeper
Usually when I fire it up it terrifies people...L-O-L
Beautiful 🔥
Thank you. It's a great car.
Bad ass car man
thank you.
Grandma is going to be shocked when she sees what you did to her car. Then again, she will be the first one at church on Sunday.
Yes...So true...L-O-L
Not easy being Green! Needs a set of cragers as well.
Not going to happen. The dog dish hub caps were always part of the plan.
Agree Sally, Cragars would make that car even stand out better with those black tires. Dog dish personally do nothing for me.
Personally, Cragars do nothing for me and since this is my car, the dog dish hubcaps are staying.
What size tires are you running on the back? most i can get is 255/70/15 with my wheel back spacing 5.5 on my 72 427 big block nova.
Back tires are P275-60 15 drag radials.

Did you have to put traction bars on it ? 1:12

Love the color! Do you have a paint code or source for the paint?
