Basic information and History

The list of what has been done to this amazing Nova is long, and the work has been done in a professional and well-planned manner for maximum performance but also with reliability and ease of maintenance in mind. This example is a 1967 model that was sold new in Sweden where the seller has owned it for over 20 years.

The car was built by the seller who has a lot of knowledge in the field and knew how he wanted it in terms of construction. The car was built between 2014-2017 and was inspected on 28/6-2017 and is also registered as a rebuilt vehicle with everything registered at the Swedish Transport Agency. The car has also participated in Streetweek 2017, 2018 and 2019 with good results.

It is a very well thought out project with fantastic performance, good road holding and relatively easy to service/maintain. It has an absolutely incredible road feel compared to other muscle cars from the 60s, brakes and road holding feel like a modern sports car but with an old honorable body and can easily hold its own against even today's sports cars. A well-designed car in the entire drivetrain that should be able to withstand use.

The V8 engine is GM's recognized LS1 engine that was used in, among other things, the Corvette and Camaro, where together with the turbos, it produces about 600 hp but has absolute potential for significantly more. The engine is well built with forged parts and most of the peripherals upgraded, replaced or new. Worth mentioning again that even though the car is inspection exempt, it is registered with all upgrades.

Condition

Exterior: The car is in a good condition externally with no major complaints. The car was renovated/rebuilt between 2014-2017 and the chrome details also have an almost flawless shine. There are some stone chips and occasional marks around the paintwork but nothing out of the ordinary for a car that has been used and overall presents itself very well. The Weld Racing rims are also in very good condition with no complaints and give the car an aggressive and sporty look. All glass panes and moldings are in the same fine condition as the rest. The door handles have been removed during the renovation and there is a hidden mechanical opening.
