NO RESERVE SALE...BID TO WIN

THIS BEAUTIFUL NOVA 396 SUPER SPORT HAS JUST RECENTLY COMPLETED A VERY DETAILED 2 1/2YEAR SUB FRAME OFF RESTORATION. AS WITH SO MANY OF THESE TYPE CARS, THIS WEST COASTBEAUTY WASPURCHASED WITHTHE INTENT TO SPEND THE MAJOR PART OF ITS LIFE ON THE DRAGSTRIP AND ITDID JUST THAT.GOOD THING ABOUT THIS WAS IF NOT WRECKED THESE CARS WERE WELL CARED FOR ANDSPENT A MAJORITY OF THEIR TIME INDOORS AND SHELTERED. THIS FACT IS A BIG PLUS FORHAVING ALL ORIGINAL SHEET METAL AND NO RUST WHICH DESCRIBES THIS CAR PERFECTLY.NO PREVIOUS SERIOUS DAMAGE OR RUST .
THE ORIGINAL 375 HP L78 IS LONG GONE BUT IN ITS PLACE AND DRESSED AS THE L78IS A 1971 LS5 454 THAT WAS FACTORY RATED WITH 365 HP. THIS ENGINE HAS BEENCOMPLETELY REBUILT WITH SEVERAL UPGRADES INCLUDING BALANCING, AN OVERBORE OF.030, FORGED FLAT TOP PISTONS, HEADS REBUILT AND MILLED, RESIZED RODS, DECKED BLOCK ASWELL AS THEADDITION OF AN ORIGINAL L78 SOLID LIFTER CAMSHAFT DEGREED IN BLOCK. IT NOWBOASTS WAYMORE HP THAN THE OLD L78 AND HAS TONS MORE TORQUE. STAINLESS BIG TUBE HEADERSWITH3 INCH EXHAUST AND FLOWMASTERS AND A HIGH RISE ALUMINUM INTAKE WITH A 780 CFM HOLLEYAS WELL AS AN HEI DISTRIBUTOR ARE THE FINISHING TOUCHES.
THE ORIGINAL MUNCIE TRANSMISSION WAS RACE PREPPED WITH SHAVED SYNCHROS ANDCLIPPED GEARS FOR QUICKER SHIFTS WHICH WAS FINE FOR RACING BUT USELESS ONTHE STREET. INIT'S PLACE IS A FRESH SUPER T10 BORG WARNER THAT IS AT LEASTAS GOOD IF NOT BETTER THAN THEOLD SCHOOL MUNCIE.(ORIGINAL TRANS WAS AN M21CLOSE RATIO SPECIAL ORDER AS NOTED ON THEWINDOW STICKER AND NOT THE M22)
THE WINDOW STICKER CAME WITH THIS CAR AND I EVEN FOUND WHAT WASLEFT OF THE OLD FISHERBODYBROADCAST OR BUILD SHEET.(PICS INCLUDED) THE WARRANTYDOCUMENTS AS WELL AS THEPROTECT-O-PLATE WERE NOWHERE TO BE FOUND.
LIKE SO MANY OF THESE OLD RACE CARS QUITE A BIT OF SUSPENSION TUNING ANDALTERING WASDONE SO I HAD TO REPLACE SPRINGS, SHACKLES, STEERING COMPONENTSAND MANY OTHER ITEMSASWELL AS DIFFERENTIAL GEARSETC. (I INSTALLED A NEW 355 GEAR AS PER THEWINDOWSTICKERWITH A NEW POSI UNIT) ON THE FRONT CONTROL ARMS THE "A" FRAME BUSHINGS WERE LIKEBRANDNEWAND THE ORIGINAL BALL JOINTS WERE GOOD AND TIGHT AND STILL THEREWITH THEOLD ORIGINAL RIVETS HOLDING THEM IN PLACE. 53 YEARS OLD, UNBELIEVABLE!!!I LEFT THEM ON PURPOSE AND THEY DO NOT NEED REPLACED. HOWEVER I HAD ALREADY PURCHASEDNEW TUBULAR CONTROL ARMS AND I WILL INCLUDE THEM IF YOU WISH. I PREFER FACTORY EQUIPMENTWHEN POSSIBLE ON MY RESTOS BUT THAT'S JUST MY OPINION.
OF COURSE, A COMPLETE NEW UPHOLSTERY PACKAGE WAS INSTALLED AND CARPET WITH PADINCLUDING DOOR PANELS BUT THE DASH PAD IS ORIGINAL AS IS THE SPEEDO AND GAUGESAND ALL ARE PERFECT.
PAINT IS ORIGINAL COLOR CODE 28 FATHOM BLUE BASE/CLEAR PROFESSIONALLY DONE BY A GOODFRIEND OF MINE WHO IS RETIRED AND OPERATES OUT OF HIS PERSONAL SHOP WITH A STATE OF THEARTPAINT BOOTH.THE PAINT IS EXCEPTIONAL TO SAY THE LEAST WITH NO FLAWS AND A SUPER DEEPSHINE.
THE CLASSIC AUTO A/C ADDITION IS JUST A MUST-HAVE NOWADAYS WITH A NEW ALUMINUM RADIATORTO KEEP THINGS COOL AS IS THE RE-INSTALLED FACTORYPOWER STEERINGAND POWER DISC BRAKES.THE TILT WHEEL IS NICE AS WELL.
CAR STARTS RUNS AND DRIVES LIKE BRAND NEW. NO SHAKES OR SHIMMY'S, NO WINDNOISE, NO PROBLEMS OF ANY KIND. EVERYTHING WORKS. ALL LIGHTS AND SIGNALS,ALL GAUGES, WIPERS, HEAT, DEFROST, A/C, AND THE HORN. ALL WINDOWS ARE PERFECTAND OPERATE AS NEW. IT HAS GREAT STREET MANNERS AND YOU CAN DRIVE IT ANYWHERE.
I DO HAVE THE NEW WHEEL TRIM RINGS IF YOU WANT THEM. I LIKE THE LOOK AS IT IS AND DIDN'TWANT TO INSTALL THEM AND SCRATCH THE NEW WHEEL PAINT.
31 TOTAL MILES SINCE COMPLETION. ALL WELL SORTED AND DIALED IN. IT MAY HAVEA FEW MORE MILES BEFORE IT LEAVES HERE. I JUST LOVE TO DRIVE IT.
