1970 Chevy Nova Pro Street 509 Big Block Drag Race Car Show Car Restored Classic

Description for Chevrolet Nova 1970

Admit it, hen you see a killer bowtie muscle car with a mountain motor up front and giant rear tires out back, our adrenaline starts pumping, nd maybe your pupils dilate a little. The third generation of Chevrolet Nova has long been a favorite of drag racers, eekend mechanics, nd hot-rodders. Just when you think you've seen the best one ever, long comes a car like this, hat totally blows all the rest away. One of the coolest things about the classic car hobby is the amount of passion and creativity enthusiasts put into their builds. There's no better way to make a great looking Bowtie even more appealing, han to smooth it out and cover it in a stunning, eep, ich paint job like this one. Take another look at the pictures and look at the attention to detail, nd panel fitment; the level of professional, igh-dollar, uality work here is really setting the bar for pro-street builds. Make no mistake, his is not a "covered up rust bucket"like how most project cars begin... no, his car began as a solid, eal-deal Nova which is why you will not find any rust pits anywhere on this car. Even open up the trunk and look inside the rear quarter panels... those have even been base-coated and cleared! It's simply amazing how well this car was put together.
Here at Custom Classics, e know a thing or two about what makes a great classic car, ts what we do all year long! As we went through all the receipts on this build (included in sale), ts astonishing to see all that went into this car. This has been a passion build for the previous owner for many years now.
Reviewing the receipts, hey tell a story of body work being done in 2002, he car being painted in Deltron DBC4466-W "Hawaiian Orchid Metallic" basecoat clear urethane around April of 2003, nd as all Urethanes go, he still looks fresh and wet like the day she was out of the booth. When you see it in person, ou'll get a better understanding about what we're saying when we say it looks fresh — the photos, lthough pretty, on't even give this car justice.
