This 1970 Chevrolet Nova coupe underwent modifications that were completed in 2022 and involved installing a Thompson Motorsports LS-based 5.7-liter V8, which is equipped with a ported LSA supercharger, Trick Flow heads, a Holley Terminator X ECU, and Hooker headers. Shifting is through a Tremec T56 six-speed manual transmission, and the Quick Performance 9″ rear end is equipped with 4.11:1 gears and 31-spline axle shafts. Finished in the Toyota-sourced shade of Quicksand, the car has Corbeau bucket seats, a Pro 5.0 shifter, Vintage Air climate control, and a Kenwood head unit. Additional modifications include Ridetech suspension, Kore3 four-wheel disc brakes, Forgestar 18″ wheels, and mini-tubbed rear wheel wells. Acquired by the seller in 2017, this modified Nova coupe is now offered with build literature and photos and a Washington title in the seller’s name.
