I built my 1971 Nova to be the perfect sleeper car. No badging whatsoever, standard hood, bench seat, Muncie 4 speed. LS6-454, no tubs, 215/60/15 tires, exhaust behind the rear wheels, and a beautiful 3 stage red pearl paint job. At first glance, you would think it was a very nice small block Nova. I am glad to read others that like the simple sleeper look.
Yeah. If you think about it, a Chevelle is never a sleeper, no matter what trim package it’s in. A Nova, on the other hand, almost always is…
Sometime I feel Classic Cars are all that matter in my world
You are soo right ! Best cars ever made were the 60's . This one is top ten ! I get it ( emissions )
I LOVE IT that it is painted White. Looks wonderful. I COULD NOT AFFORD to RUN IT. Gasoline is way too expensive.
I had one of these that came with a 396 and put a 427 and an M22 (a real one) in it and a posi. It was candy apple red with a black vinal top and a cowl induction hood and 50 series tires on the back and 70 series bias ply tires on on the front all mounted on Crager mags. It was a fun car. This video brought back some memories. :-)
Love the stock look with the performance to back it up.
What a beautiful and tastefully modified car. Simple, just the way they should be.
Makes my heart skip a beat just looking at it.
finally a interior that isn't black (too hot in summer & shows dust like a fog) on a early muscle car, like this color combo a lot; like that vette style hood too! All it needs now is an Edelbrock intake, headers & it will really rock!
Love them old school hub caps and tires . Really nice
my first car was a 70 Nova with the 307 and powerglide trans, no power steering and 14 inch rally wheels..... I still miss her
I was a kid when GM wedged those Big Blocks in those little cars. My 383 Magnum Roadrunner did NOT want to race these little sleepers. For every "sleeper" there were 10 cars with straight six cylinder engines with Mags and Fat Tires. I have been a "car guy" since my uncle took me to Lion's Drag Strip in southern California in 1968 when I was about 12 years old. The old "Muscle Car" days were fun. A kid like me in the mid-70's could build a FAST car for about $3 Grand. Now you need $50 Grand to buy anything that will get any respect.
Yeah exactly . sure miss the 70s. Cheap cars cheap gas, the street scene was a lot of fun. If young people today could see how we grew up and the free spirit that existed back then... They'd get pretty pissed about how things are today. And we wrenched our own cars also. Every Nut and Bolt we worked on whatever we had to. And worked our asses off to have the money to go out and play with them, or attend the drag strips. Frightening how quickly this country is changing to a very bad path coming.
What's even worse than that is back in the 70's you could buy a house for 30 grand that was brand new. That same house is now 50 years old and worn out but is worth over half a million in states like California.
I desperately want a '67 Chevy II (Nova) outfitted much like this one, maybe even a four door or wagon. I'd probably have to go over to the LS/6-speed dark side on account of weight and wanting the car to handle, but I love the plain-Jane white, no frills build. Awesome. Damn, what a cam for a 'sleeper', though, haha!
I love the sound of a choppy cam! Beautiful machine, long live old school!!
A gift from The gods
Ah, the good old days - I always loved the Nova when I was a teenager back in the 70's. They were a great car,
Phone number
Is that 32,000
A buddy of mine had a new '68 Nova with 396-375 H.P. and M-22 Rock Crusher. He burned the original tires off the first weekend he had the car. His dad bought him some DOT cheater slicks helping him with traction. He loved to try to pick street races which I got into one time. We were even until I hit a dip and rise in the road and went air born. I backed off and he went around me. I did not want to crash my new '69 Corvette. Thanks for the great memories and videos.
wagurleyIII Those 396's were no joke, that's for sure. Glad this one brought back some good memories. Thanks for watching!
+RamblinAround , I'm building a 69 Nova with a 396 small block. The big blocks are good but these small blocks have the torque of the rats but twist up much quicker.
I have had a lot of big blocks and plenty of small blocks. I currently have a 1934 Chevrolet 3 Window Coupe with a 396 SBC. It has aluminum heads and roller set up with a steal crank. The engine makes over 550 hp and torque. I am well pleased with how well it performs in my light car.
My cousins got a 68 nova as well but its got a 383 stroker. I have a few videos of it on my channel if you guys want to check it out. Im thinking of making a similar video to this one so if you like it make sure to subscribe so you get the video when its done. Thanks
wagurleyIII burning tires like that sounds like he needs to work on his setup more to get it to hookup better this day in age we can hookup a 1200 with greater tire componds
Walk softly and carry a big stick ! Understated and very cool, thanks for posting.
That's what caught my eye, I really like the mostly stock appearance. It sure sounds great too. Thanks for having a look my friend.
There is no better sound than a running big block those exhaust notes have that special tune like no other!!!!
I love the clean look, no obnoxious colors,stripes, etc.. If I could do my '70 Monte, this is the look I want- perfectly done!
Wow i saw one exactly like that a week or two ago at a car show. Loved it so much.
What a sharp nova! I really like the production value you put into these videos. Thanks!
Thanks for watching, we appreciate it!
I had a 73 Nova and it was hot.. And SI' VA.. FAST.. had my 73 malibu motor swapped into my nova bored 30 over.. 18 ys old i was and full of lemonade and vinager..😎😇😎
Very nice nova. 454 and a 4-speed, I could get in all sorts of trouble with that.
Yep, this thing would really be a blast. Thanks for watching!
this is a nice sleeper. i love it and remember them as i lived it.
Beautiful Nova 👍👍👍
Thanks for checking it out!
Gotta love that big block sexy sound! I love it!!!! It has a really great rumble.
Now this is a car.
I love it. Really straight body just like factory fresh. And a 454 four speed it don't get any better. It takes me way back in time too. The video was nice because of the neat pan shots close up and moving around or across it makes me like i was there almost. Very clear focus so nice. I guess the camera dolly helps keep the focus so good. Great video.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked the video. I used the dolly my son built to do most of the pan shots. Thanks for watching!
Nice, Bro! Need more of these. I like sleepers!! Someone would think it had an inline six in it!!
Yeah, this one is definitely cool. I'm glad you like it. Thanks for watching!
I absolutely love Novas and love this car! I probably love this body more than the square bodies! It's no big deal but I just wish it didn't have 396 badges if it don't have one in it is all. Beautifully built though!
Don't care for the white, love the sleeper look
White isn't generally my thing either, but it's definitely a nice car. Thanks for taking a look!
PLEASE God let me have this car !!🙏
Thanks for sharing this awesome car with us.. :-) Ceep up posting all this nice cars. I love wathcing them. Greetings from Denmark..
Anders
Thank you for watching, we appreciate it!
Beautiful!
Always loved this car...
Thank you!
LOVE the 4-Speed; LOVE the Bench Seats; LOVE the Wheels; HATE the Tach in front of the Speedometer.
Looks like something Granny would take to the grocery store. Don't mess with her tho, she's gotten her share of speeding tickets! :)
beautiful!!! you get around .500 lift on that cam i love that cammed up sound. and the exhaust coming out and down right behind rear wheels is the right way i hate tail pipes going straight out behind the car it looks amateurish!
Nice Nova!! My first car was a 67 Deuce,or Chevy 2....
Great Nova ! I'd buy it !
What a beautiful car.
Beautiful dreamer, awaken unto me.
Very nice!
Always nice to see these old cars with 4spds in em. it makes a world of difference. those back tires look a little skinny for a BB. that's gotta make things interesting to drive.
Yeah, I'm sure it will roast the hell out of those tires.
Absolutely beautiful 😍 ❤ ♥
That sounded good
That's crazy sleeper stuff there Bud!!☺
I'm not generally a big Nova fan, but I like this one. Definitely a wolf in sheep's clothing. Thanks for checking it out!
I'm not sure that's a 100% Sleeper when it sits with a healthy, "cammed" idle & all. It sounds too eager to "run'ya!"
I’ll take 2, first car was a ‘68 Nova 230 cid. My first love.
I have a 73 nova, body is in good shape, needs a few cosmetics.
Looks like a sleeper, interiors like grandma's. Give away, four speed on floor, Hurst badge on rear deck, & 396 fender badge. I'd make minor changes, change the 396 to a 307 badge, remove the Hurst badge, tint the windows enough not to see the 4 speed, & last, add a pair of headers. Then, the ultimate sleeper.......until, you cranked up that engine.
BAD ASS BEAUTIFUL CAR.......CHEVY... ... ACALA,TX.
That was a great video good job on that I like the camera
Excellent video!!!👌👌
Thanks for watching!
Not a sleeper unless u cant hear it. Thats a classic.
Definition sleeper!. Watch out Hemi' s and Cobra Jets. Though I like silver 396 you did last week better. Thanks for your great vids.
Beautiful car
That is a beautiful car I had one it was the 68 started out with a straight 6 cylinder anyone to A307 then I went to A350 and then I got A454 block had a bored and stroked 550 horse what a car I had full roll cage the whole 9 yd the cars are no joke I'll take and 68 or 69 Chevy Nova over any car that was Built-in those 2 years those cars are insane what you could do with them
You can add 70 to that list. Bought it new. Mine was a SS 396/375 but in less than a year changed it to a 427 punched out to 440 with ALL of the best add on's. dino'd over 600 hp. Ran 10 sec. qtr's at 135mph. Drove on street. Only draw back was high compression required Sunoco 260 not to knock and got about 4 miles per gallon. But back then gas was cheap. . Wish I still had it.
@@glenrye9091 I had a 1969 Chevy Nova it was my father's and I should have kept it but things had to go my father had too many vehicles people came and looked at purchased cars and cars were Junk also I regret getting rid of this car so much it's it's the car my father drove the most the most and his friend wanted it so my mother let him purchase it at that time I was in a bad place I was a drug user an alcoholic and I really didn't think about what my mother was doing my older brother pushed my mother to sell Everything after I straightened my life out it was too late wait but it was not too late to be the person That my father thought I would've met I've taken care of my mother and now she is no longer with us now is the time I would love to have another 69 Chevy Nova
That car is slick
Very nice
nice Nova but needs headers and bigger tires to handle that engine also needs a air cleaner with the right engine size
Sleeper? Until you start it not a sleeper
sharp for sure!
Thanks for taking a look!
I miss my previous life. 😔
Very cool looking Nova!
Thanks for taking a look my friend!
OMG !!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Yeesssssssss!
Love it
Clean
COOL Sleeper 1968 Chevrolet Nova 454 Big-block V8 Four-speed 3.73 Gears
love it i need one
Thanks for watching....we could all use one of these.
Really neat Nova! Thank you for posting this one. When I was about 17 I purchased a light blue 68 Nova chevy ll. Was just a 250 in line 6 with a manual 3speed trans but was a very good car. Wish I still had it!
Glad it brought back some good memories. Thanks for watching!
so is it a stock standard shift Hurst Nova or no
Hard on....I want that car
Beautiful Nova.....reminds me of my first car.....70 Nova with a strong straight line 230 six-cylinder and power glide tranny.....thanks for profiling his one...5* video.....
Cutter
I'm glad you liked it. It's cool that you had one for your first car. Thanks for taking a look at this one!
RamblinAround
its a beautiful car,just like the way they used to make For Real!
Looks like my dad. But he has a stock 305 motor he build it from ground up :)
COOL!
WORTH EVERY PENNY
It's like that 454, singing.
Good shit
Nice,
That cars sweet! Definitely sounds like a cats meow.
I Like it a nice plain looking Nova with a big block and a 4 speed
I like this one a lot too...very understated. Thanks for having a look at it!
What's the difference in 68 and 69 nova?
Good luck with those tires and 3.73 gears , you will be spinning
Absolutely beautiful. I have to say though, imagine how much better it would look with some nice chrome rims and Goodyear eagle GTs. Then the car would be perfect. IMO. What are the horsepower and torque numbers? And any idea what the 1/4 time it's capable of? Thanks!
That's a bad boy.
Badass! I thought they did away with vent windows in '68 and went to whole door glass? I know Pontiac did...
I think the Nova kept the vent windows through the '72 model year.
Sweet 454 disguised as a 396
By looks of the L Rear tire, my kid has been driving it.
💥 Very Nice ✅ White Great Choice💥
Since its a sleeper I'd put a Tremec 6 speed man in it. So it could cruise all day on freeway.
Yes
Perfect, except it needs a trailer hitch with a 2 inch ball.
seriouse car,, man that's a killer
It's a bad boy
This one would've been worth possibly another $10K if it still had the original 396.
Sir, What type of exhaust does this nova have/
Looks like Flowmaster 40s with 2 & 1/2 inch exhaust tubing I have the same set up on my 1981 El Camino
Still Available ?
BEAUTIFUL!!! :-)
is this car still for sale
Nice 68, not a true SS. 68"s had clear front fender marker lights, lower front fender Super Sport emblems and blacked out front grill, rear SS emblems as well. I own a real one and have only seen five original Super Sports since 1979.
Favorite Year Nova.
It definitely is one of the best years for the Nova. Thanks for checking it out!
