I wasn't fond of that body style when they came out, but I have to say THAT CAR IS SICK! AWESOME CAR!

[@RoddyDa]

Agreed…this one has been styled perfectly

[@nwee5758]

With the previous models, it's hard to call them novas, but they've grown on me!

[@nlpnt]

That all-black-everything look has the potential to look like absolute crap unless it's done PERFECTLY, and your car is. I'm too in love with the late-70s factory stock colors and fripperies to ever do this to a Nova myself, but yours looks awesome.

[@joejohnson147]

Damn Homie. How did YOU build a car straight outta MY mind ?? Geezus man.!! Typing as I watch video & just getting more amped up

[@billyhollman4673]

That's the cleanest Nova I ever seen.

[@ImpactedWizDom]

Truck ride bro! Had a ‘77 SS, factory buckets, gauges, console and 4-speed. Black on black…it truly was one of a kind. Shoulda never let it go

[@jcmoney4125]

Damn that sounds like a hell of a car, definitely super desirable spec

[@ImpactedWizDom]

@@jcmoney4125 Thanks! The original owner I bought it from in ‘79 was a tech for GM and somehow knew all the different options that were available and ordered it as though it was a COPO car. He ordered it with the SS package but deleted the stripe/decal kit, the front SS grill and and air conditioning! It was almost like most people ordered their late 60’s, early 70’s muscle cars! A super rare find!!

[@jcmoney4125]

@@ImpactedWizDom definitely rare. I found a 77 nova black with gold striping and a factory 4 speed a few years back. Kind of in the middle of the build on this one. It was 10 grand and looked super nice with original paint. I should have bought it. The day I finally talked myself into calling on it, it had just sold.

[@ImpactedWizDom]

The full black out just makes her look insanely aggressive. The engine is a damn work of art. Now you're underneath & she keeps turning up the excitement. My favorite car on Yt right here. Do a ride along PLEASE.

[@jcmoney4125]

Thanks for the comments buddy I really appreciate it. I’ll make more videos of it when I get some time. Been crazy busy lately haven’t even been able to drive it 😫

[@joejohnson147]

I hear ya , worked landscaping before getting into construction. Weather good = Working insane hrs. You should be Proud Bruh. You built a better looking AND MORE importantly Better running Chevrolet Hot Rod than alot of shops. I know you have blood sweat tears & cash into her. The fact that she's been with you so long now only increases the awesomeness. You have a show car that is also a GO car. Personally , I love sleepers Always have. The look on other guys face when he loses to a ' non contender' is Priceless. I love sleepers but this car is challenging that concept Greatly. A little green with envy & that's really not me.

[@joejohnson147]

My younger friends look at me funny when I tell em about the fresh air vents built into kick panels. . Also look at me funny when I describe s neutral Drop to em. Hey it WAS just a 6 , had to burn them tires somehow. Lol.

[@jcmoney4125]

This car has suprised a lot of people who underestimated what they were up against over the years. My last two motors were a 489 bbc with a 250 shot then a 540 with a 250 shot. Basically same motor but I smoked the old block so went with a dart block and a bigger cam. This LS turbo setup is just so smooth and quiet with the full exhaust that’s it’s unassuming but the car looks a lot more sinister since I’ve blacked it all out. It’s such a nice cruiser now and handles like it’s on rails. No shortage of effort went in to this build and I’m glad there’s guys out there that can appreciate it.

[@marcusrhodes5732]

tha body kit is raw asf 💯🔥🔥🔥

Lot of hard work and money put in that deal. Never cared for that style but I found myself looking to buy one all of a sudden

[@jcmoney4125]

It’s definitely a less common style, but that’s what makes it even better! You’ll be hard pressed to see another at a show and most people don’t even know what it is when they see it. They just know they like it! This car gets tons of attention everywhere it goes, so don’t pass up a clean car if you happen to find one 😎

[@rockymountainsunshinepodca4309]

This thing is a beast! Nice job!

[@dereklacey1]

You definitely left stuff out. 1- How much $$$ did the build cost? 2- How long did it take to build? 3- What does it do in the quarter mile? Oh, and, I love this car!!!

[@jcmoney4125]

Yes, watching it back I left a lot out. Like PTC converter, dennys driveshaft, everything you said lol…so I have quite a bit in the car at this point. The short answer is 100k would be a fair number to throw out there on what I’ve got in to it. I must of asked my friend 50 times how much more I needed to finish this and I swear the number kept going up instead of down 😂 It would sit for months when we couldn’t work on it, but when we could due to availability in what we do for work, we could wrench on it every day all day for months on end like it was a full time job. It took 3 years from start to finish. Me and my friend have a few thousand man hours labor in to it. I have not run the car at the track since the last engine. Car ran 9’s at 140 with a 540 pump gas and a little nitrous with too much gear back in 2013, it could have trapped higher for sure. It’s got another 200hp at the wheels now so I would be confident it would still run somewhere in the 9’s without issue and without maxing it out but it should trap a good bit higher than it did last time with the turbo motor and 3.25 gears. My goal was to run at least a high 8 with it but I don’t know if I’ll even take it to the track at this point. I kind of want to build another nova and do a turbo 427LS or maybe a turbo big block but something not so pretty or near and dear to my heart just in case something were to happen. I thought about swapping a bigger motor in it but the car is so perfect, drives so nice , and is tuned with all the bugs worked out….and it’s still fast with around 900 wheel but you know how it is, you always want to get to the next level. I really don’t feel like taking it apart though because it’s like an erector set and you have to be so careful so you don’t so much as scratch something. I pretty much just cruise it, take it to shows, and give people rides they won’t forget anytime soon. However I still check the classifieds every day for a new project car to call my name. Thanks for the comment 👍🏻

[@mitchellmaerz8429]

Radical radical really like that car although I feel I probably wouldn't spend quite that much and modify it that much although if you have the money and it's your passion that is radical to do it to a Nova or concourse I like I really love and like the 77 or 76 model Nova and concourse they are really something else you'd be surprised even ones that are stock and ones that have four speeds in them or ones that just have the 354 barrel or the 305 and four barrel are really pleasant cars they're comfortable in the amount of headroom legroom even in the back seat you can sit comfortably do you have a lot of trunk space so you can actually put like a suitcase in the back or even a keg of beer the underneath the hood there are lots of areas to put room in there for either a rat motor a big block or you could have a small block you can put almost any type of motor in there and believe it or not when you lift the hood or take off the wheels and tires or to change the brakes it's practical and somewhat much easier to do than a Pontiac trans am or a Camaro or maybe even something like a modern mustang or other cars that they're coming up with these cars are really much more pleasant to own and drive as daily drivers the only thing that I noticed about your two videos is you show really a remarkable photography of the car good music and good photography although I think that everyone would probably enjoy and like and you would probably like the memory of maybe seeing the car in action like on the quarter mile or something in a competition to see time and speed I'm sure it's a fast car I'm sure it's remarkable and affordable practical and comfortable that is radical I don't feel I would put that much of resources into anova or concourse although if I had an incredible amount of money I'm sure I'd probably do the same thing that you would do congratulations that is totally awesome
