It's not easy to find a classic muscle car that combines sheer curb appeal with such a stellar assembly of top-tier mechanical components like this 1969 Chevrolet Nova 396 Restomod. Dressed in high-impact Black Cherry paint, this is one sharp ride. The paint sports a nice shine, and the accompanying silver stripes are no mere decals but are painted on. In addition to the standout color, the exterior details that make for a properly finished restoration have also been covered, leaving this Chevy with clean and level front and rear bumpers, body trim that looks great, and uniformly even panel gaps from front to back, allowing the doors on both sides to close with a reassuring "thud".
Climb in and you'll see that the interior is looking sharp as well. The front bucket seats provide plenty of support, and they bracket a clean aftermarket center console that features a B&M shifter beckoning you to grab hold and put this Chevy through its paces. Up front, a Grant steering wheel is perched on a tilting column, and the factory gauges just beyond it display their readings through clear, easily readable lenses while being joined by a quartet of aftermarket counterparts at the front of the console, along with a Summit tachometer at the top of a clean, uncracked dash pad. An Audiovox AM/FM/Cassette stereo is also standing by to offer you a selection of period-appropriate audio options.
Plenty of power lurks under the hood in the form of a 396 cubic-inch V8 that's been armed with a bevy of high-quality mechanical upgrades, including Keith Black dome pistons, a high-rise Edelbrock intake manifold, a Comp 280 cam, 427 Corvette heads, and a steel crank. The enhanced engine is fed via MSD electronic fuel injection to give it both increased adjustability and all-weather dependability, and it exhales into a pair of Hooker long tube headers leading out to a pair of MagnaFlow mufflers that supply a nice, deep growl at idle that turns into an outright battle cry when accelerating. An upgraded aluminum radiator with dual electronic fans stands by at the front of the engine compartment to keep temperatures under control. The addition of subframe connectors gives this classic Chevy excellent structural rigidity under pressure.
