It's hard to think of a compact muscle car without immediately thinking of the legendary Chevrolet Nova, and if there's a single machine that would define the very word of "intimidation", this specific 1971 Chevy Nova would be it. Following a comprehensive rotisserie restoration, this Nova combines menacing black aesthetics with a badass, athletic stance, meaning that this is one of the most aggressive Novas we've had at Coyote Classics in quite some time. Powered by a 5.3-liter LS V8 engine that breathes with the help of fuel injection, this '71 Nova punches out 450 horsepower! Now, that's a staggering number, and it would be hard to believe were it not for this Nova's unbelievable performance to back it up, and there's plenty of performance upgrades underneath the hood. The pushrods in that LS V8 are spun by a high-output Texas Speed camshaft, and all the power is arranged by a Holley Terminator engine management system! Torque is put to the pavement through the use of a GM 4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission, which shifts smoothly and seamlessly with the help of a sporty TCI shifter. The laser-straight bodylines on this Nova are covered beautifully in deep gloss black paint, a stunning job reflecting like a mirror in the sun after being buffed to a brilliant shine. The floors, frame, trunk, and jambs are all also rock-solid and in great shape! Going further, underneath this mean Nova contains a litany of upgrades that need to be mentioned! With TCI tubular front subframes and suspension as well as TC 4-link rear suspension and Ridetech front and rear coilover shocks, this '71 Nova rides like it's on rails. Opening the twin doors reveals a near-perfect black vinyl interior, a truly stunning space complete with gorgeous updated ProCar bucket seats and new Dakota Digital gauges complete with a tachometer so you can keep your revs in check! There's plenty more options on this killer Nova, including power steering, Wilwood 4-wheel disc brakes, Vintage Air A/C, an updated vintage-style AM/FM digital radio, aftermarket speakers, an aftermarket steering wheel, Ring Brothers billet hood hinges, ceramic-coated headers, vent windows, dual chrome mirrors, and an incredibly-aggressive sounding dual exhaust system. The car rides on a mean set of 18" color-matched Weld wheels over sticky Nitto blackwall tires for a perfectly vicious, aggressive look. Turn the key and that LS V8 starts right up, and with rack & pinion steering, this '71 Nova runs and drives down the road both quick and straight. It's sure to turn heads up and down the street, leaving a smile on your face both whenever you look at it AND when you're behind the wheel. There aren't too many cars that have both qualities, so you're not going to want to let this '71 Nova get away!
