I'm sure I missed things -- there's certainly a lot more, but the build thread link (above) can provide more details.The car recently won Best Street Machine at a large local indoor car show.
The car runs great. It's easy enough to drive, but honestly, it's quick on the throttle and it definitely gets your attention immediately when on the gas.

Car is located inSaskatchewan, Canada (north of North Dakota/Montana). TFX Transport can pick the car up here, clear customs for you (no duty or taxes) and drop it off at your door. I can help with logistics, but I'm not transporting the car. FYI, TFX is a regular transport company for major US collector car auctions.
If you want an uber-cool, bad to the bone, absolutely Mint Nova, this is it. I have touched pretty much every nut, bolt and washer on this car. If you have any questions or need photos of anything else, feel free to contact me.
Price is $89,500 US dollars (Firm + No Trades). It will cost more than this to duplicate the car. Currently, there is less than two hours running time on the Nova.The car is stunning in person and speaks for itself.
