Nova SS, LS3 engine with air gap manifold. Body is super straight in tuxedo black. New red and black interior. Runs on redline tires. Chassis has been heavily massaged as well, including a Heidts front suspension set-up with tubular A-arms, coil-over shocks, power 4-wheel disc brakes, and a power rack-and-pinion steering system. Out back there's more performance goodies like a 4-link and coil overs, while a throaty dual exhaust system with Flowmaster mufflers sounds absolutely amazing, both at idle and full song. The Tremec 5-speed manual transmission features a pretty deep overdrive gear, so it doesn't mind the relatively short gears in the Ford 9-inch rear end (3:73), which also has disc brakes on both ends. The suspension has been devilishly lowered, so it hunkers down just right over those beautiful polished Billet Specialties wheels which wear staggered 225/45/17 front and 275/40/18 rear performance redline radials.
The interior is new. Upgrades like the polished chrome tilt steering column with 3-spoke steering wheel, Stewart Warner gauges inside a machined bezel, and chrome and billet knobs and handles give it a modern flair that's the essence of the resto mod movement. A cleverly engineered A/C system integrates neatly into the original dashboard without significant modifications, as does the retro-style AM/FM/Cassette stereo just above it.
