move those gauges to the right on top of the hood scoop, and put a 45degree bend in the shifter and then plumb it back up off your leg, awesome ride !! didnt catch the engine? 454? for sale ,lol.

[@RonSmith472]

Dude do not mess with that stance she's gorgeous as is!

[@jjrobinson7680]

Dam , I had a 72 black on black , weld wheels , but no big block, takes me back seeing this one

[@gordocarbo]

Baddest caxr in HS (mid 80s) was a guys 72 nova. All black same wheels solid lifter 350 4.56 big converter. Still remember how it sounded car was wicked fast!

[@richardmorris7063]

My dad's last car was a 70 Nova, didn't look like this one. The hood is a pinch too tall for me but I wouldn't kick it out of my garage either.. Merry Christmas boys!!

[@gordocarbo]

Agree...stock height cowl hood is just right A nice stinger hood would look killer, too .

[@pedrogomez1984]

Huge Nova fan and this one is a class act

[@BAD4U22]

Great choices on cars guys! I'm impressed

[@timatkinson9291]

Nice machine guys. Thanks for showing.

[@skylershank9309]

Good to see a company that spends the time to fix and upgrade vehicles before selling.

[@gordocarbo]

Agree. Dealer in Tenn on YT fixes nothing...some cars are downright unsafe and need to be towed away.

[@BuiltDifferent13]

Old man had a 71.... Small block out of one of the pro stock cars built by Glen personally the crews mechanic.... They would take the cranks out of the 400 small blocks from the school buses they were stronger.... All hand built and ported ol skool 383!! In a 71 Nova on the street thing was a machine. . Unfortunately I only really remember looking out the little back window Ripping insideways through intersections... And The two-door Caprice that was bone stock but it was one of my favorites. I remember playing with the hood ornament

[@gordocarbo]

No idea who Gen is but yeah only the guys who knew their stuff back then would turn down 400 cranks. Believe it was Joe Sherman who really made them popular Best upgrade possible for a 350 chevy. Some have even snuck 3.875" cranks in to get 396-409 cubes. Big torque

[@bubbafringman1864]

You guys have had some nice cars lately.

[@richardmorris7063]

Quality stuff too. It's hard to find fault.

[@raymondbogert7880]

WOW BEAUTIFUL NOVA WHAT A BEAST YOU DONT SEE THESE BEAUTIFUL CARS NO MORE CLASS BEATY AND STYLE 👍

[@knightingalesaid]

I had a 69 Nova. I love the cars.

[@MH_Bikes]

Built a 1970 Chev Nova, 327, 4 speed for a friend in 1976. Easily got the front wheels off the ground. Simple car.

[@tomgrzybowski4384]

Beautiful car. I would like to see it in black cherry. Great vedio.

[@rar7631]

Amazing for a “compact” car they could still easily accommodate a big block under the hood 😮.

[@richardmorris7063]

Best of all, you don't see a lot of em @ car shows. I like Camaros, Stang's & Cudas but they're everywhere.

[@craigdoriety9798]

There was BB 396 option in Nova SS. Basically same room under hood as Camaros of that vintage and those could also be had in BB version.

[@joebacarella2829]

Menacing sure fits this beast, this car is all about that motor, I don`t like the hood, but everything else works for me. I like the traction bars yellow, that`s a beautiful idle, thanks guys.

[@gordocarbo]

Agree...only gripe are the rubber band thin rear tires. Needs more sidewall

[@lessharratt8719]

One bad ass hot rod is an understatement. Gives me wood.

[@funguy7979]

How much for this beauty?

[@erwinmonti5066]

This little car was one incredible car if you had any where with all back in the day and you could build this motor a little bit it was virtually unbeatable we raced 442 and I had a hemikuta but I'm not sure if the hemikuta could have beat this car we had up in Erie PA back in the day it was running about 560 horsepower and it was just brutal but it's got to be 1 of the greatest little cars ever built Good luck with it..

[@cecilpotter1229]

Outstanding look

[@raymondlanier1112]

I have never liked the looks of a nova but this one rocks

[@gordocarbo]

Grandma interior turned me off but carefully done they could make great sleepers

[@gtrjoe68]

This is my Dream car.

[@gordocarbo]

Very nice driver! Got sick of the aftermarket floor shifters by the 90s. Id hook the column shift back up esp with a bench seat its out of the way. Touch more sidewall on the rears, and put a zillion miles on it.

[@rhettdrake5725]

What size is the big block.

[@rustytime]

Those traction bars look good yellow but... that's just an opinion. I'm sure black will look just fine. 🤔First thing I noticed though. ✓ Had on '74 Z28 I used to have back when... (They help).

[@gordocarbo]

Like them visible like that. Looks tuff from side...and rear view .

[@jeffersonsmith1877]

Insane! Way cool!

[@epictravelviews]

That is super clean 👍

[@fernandobriceno6089]

What a beauty..

[@josephnewcomb5670]

Reminds me of my 69 Chevy Nova I had :)

[@RUBICON-zu6wl]

40k!! There goes my retirement

[@henryjohnson4061]

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!! Had one when I was 20 yrs old. It was bad A$$

[@stephenjenkins7347]

Cool nova

[@gabereal19]

Was the nova sold?

[@richardzapalajr.4412]

Torque thrust ll , change the exhaust, I did it column, Vette wheel, slide a link,leave it low.

[@kendallowens2760]

Do you guys still have the Nova???

[@drh-ov7eq]

Badass!!

[@robertclymer6948]

I thought I had this car pegged for a 396/375 car until I saw it was an automatic car with steering column select shift. Now thinking it was a small block car.

[@gordocarbo]

could be a powerglide 6 banger or 307? At least its upgraded!

[@Frank-w7d]

Very nice Nova 👍👍👍 how much

[@derrickbrantley8263]

She’s the TRUTH!!!

[@DarkhorseMuscle]

This one is perfect

[@edwinrivera7105]

I'm in Love 😍👍🏼

[@rushgush]

would love to see one with all new tech, dual clutch tranny, back up camera etcc, 😎 and with a n/a engine that makes 800hp

[@drdickqueso]

I don’t know about that. You gonna lose control easy. This car is meant for 500-600 tops. Unless your drag racing

[@gordocarbo]

Dont understand guys wanting a back up camera in these? Plenty of visibility and turning ones head shows more than the camera would

[@gordocarbo]

@@drdickqueso Agree. Younger crowd has no idea you cant use that kind of power .Dyno sheets dont mean a lot

[@frankcardillo7440]

Any Mopars?

[@ronhanish]

move those gauges to the right on top of the hood scoop, and put a 45degree bend in the shifter and then plumb it back up off your leg, awesome ride !! didnt catch the engine? 454? for sale ,lol.

[@gordocarbo]

id put the column shifter back on those ratchet shifters are kinda outdated and just get in the way on a bench seat car. Plus your woman can ride next to ya

[@trouble603]

It’s hard to pass as a sleeper with that hood scoop

[@BuiltDifferent13]

700r4?? Or 200??

[@msk3905]

You are not supposed to have regrets in life but why did i sell my 68 Nova years ago and more importantly why did i watch this video to make me miss it even more 😢

[@55555711]

awesome car

[@Thepulsewidth]

Love this car man what a beauty! No discs on the front though?

[@njblbbrs5]

C normale dans c'est année la c était 4 tambours

[@gordocarbo]

St driving, occasional track run drums are just fine. St racers used them as they are lighter than discs and have more brake pad material

[@darrrenmays9512]

Is there any room to negotiate on price?

[@darrrenmays9512]

Provide more details on the motor please? Size? Cam? Hp? Ect… to support $40k price….

[@darrrenmays9512]

How many miles on motor since built? Who built it? How about sharing the build sheet that way I have all the answers I need to make a sound decision????

[@gordocarbo]

@@darrrenmays9512 If youre serious you should just call.

[@twinarrowssurvival.2.065]

Dream car

[@daveanddanniejacobs9432]

Absolutely love the rubber mat floor board. If your date spills her beer or she ralf's in it. Would be an easy clean up. Lmao. Love the car.

[@GGscrafts]

Sharp as a tack !

[@ironhorse127]

Nice Nova, but discs up front are pretty important to have. Manual drums are ancient

[@gordocarbo]

Hardly any difference for st driving. Lots of high speed braking, road courses , sure discs are better

[@eugenebaker6607]

How much

[@ralphbennett6637]

Price

[@gdbd6181]

very nice

[@michaelcarmean4906]

I like 68 with rubber mats they were standard

[@rondleswango5479]

Looks good from this angle but you would have to test drive it 🤣🤣🤠

[@musclebone7875]

Cool! Let's 🏁

[@vanessatorre2888]

🖤

[@RUBICON-zu6wl]

Nice car but black shows all the scratches

[@raymondutter2616]

Big block and no cubic inches? No price = no idea of worth.

[@gerhelwinters1967]

My latter bar's were always yellow, thay come from the manufacturer that way!

[@gordocarbo]

Agree. Seen them in chrome, and white back then also

[@BAD4U22]

Yes

[@dalepritchard3335]

Woo hoo!

[@kennethd7048]

Yeah Iowa.. I like the flag flying in the back ground.. A.. marican.. traction bars needs some paint.. keep 'em yellow guys.. nice car

[@robby_itlo_amer2248]

Does anyone know why,. The 3 BIG Auto makers Design & build HI Performance cars? 1960's &1970's. To attract young buyers. 68 Nova. Straight 6 Cilinder. V8 motor 305 c.i. NO pollution Controls. Of any kind. This BIG BLOCK NOVA SS Maybe Valued @. $75k to $100.

[@clutch8249]

Wrong

[@gordocarbo]

@@clutch8249 agree. Novas arent gonna bring 6 figures would have to be a perfect copo , motion or Yenko car.

[@MRSTEEL15]

Please change that Grandpa steering wheel 😆

[@gordocarbo]

Its needed when you have no power steering

[@supersport6503]

tiny rear tires

[@gordocarbo]

Hate that rubber band look! Reminds me of a ghetto hopper

[@carllavell8673]

👍🔥😝🔥👍

[@kermitfrog1650]

👍👍👍✌🏁❗

[@njblbbrs5]

454 ou 396 réel ss

[@sportsmansparadice42]

I don't like the cowl. Way too tall.

[@troylayton8572]

Lower the front. Don't lift the rear.

[@scotsmandan]

Lol yellow traction bars seriously?

[@gordocarbo]

Yeah thats how they came out of the box . Sometimes youd see chrome or painted other colors . Was a st race thing

[@daveyhofer7926]

I wouldn't take it fir nothing.

[@gordocarbo]

Why whats wrong with it?
