Can You Handle This 1964 Chevrolet Nova Street Racer? We open it up. How Much Do You Want One?

In this video, the Garagefathers barrow one of our good friends 1964 Chevrolet Chevy II Nova. This car is a beast, sporting 430 Horsepower, a 5 speed, and 4:11 rear gears. If you are within a few blocks of this little Nova, you will know it is coming. This car attracts the attention of everyone near it. The majority love it, and a few have fearful disdain. Either way it makes it's own entrance to be sure. This 64 Chevy is a handful, and will keep you on your toes. As long as you are accelerating, the lack of seat belts is no problem. When you push the peddle, you must be holding on to something. We hope you enjoy this video

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Back in my heyday , late sixties ; most guys wanted mid fifties chevys ; they were out there , and I never saw one that was not worked into a hotrod.......I found my first car in 1969 , a 55 Belair sedan........As time progressed , everyone agreed that to go fast we needed a lighter body ; so the little chevy II's became the choice car........I knew a guy that was sellin a granny car with the original six cylinder ; it was a good car to build because it had a clutch ; it also needed a passenger side door , so for 75 dollars the 65 sedan was mine.......I drove the oil burning six everywhere ; then I finally pulled the 327 with the scattershield and muncie out of my 55 chevy ; into the nova also went hooker fenderwell headers......I had the 2 door sedan with the fat wrap around roofline ; I also hated the ugly headlights and grill that came on the 1965 models ; so I found a complete 1964 setup and made the car mine........Back then the cars were death traps because very few knew how to upgrade the six cylinder brake system.........................Got a few cars today ; but I'd love to have a 1964 nova post car , and put a 6.2 LS into it.........I'm lucky to have three pictures of my first nova , the second was a 1969 ; also a granny six cyl. car..................

Mr. Tommy, how fast can you go through a carburetor??? 4:25. lol, up for a challenge? I have some skills with Eddys

[@thegaragefathers496]

I'm Pretty fast... and heck yeah, I'm always down for a challenge! I still just think it's cool you've seen our show. Where in the country are you? Let's do an Edelbrock build-off. We can make that happen on this channel if you like, in person, or virtual. Whaddya think?

[@rileysrebuilds435]

@@thegaragefathers496 We found your channel because my dad and I are looking for cool daddy daughter project builds to put on our Facebook page each week. in our search your channel came up. We dig your stuff. I live in Florida but I see that you’re in California. We’re coming out there in October I’d love to come by and see the shop. And yes if you have a couple of Edelbrock‘s lying around I will take on anyone for a build off!!! “Flex” 😂
