Thought I'd share my latest project.

[USCG CHARGER]

Sticking with the smaller cars I decided on getting a 67 Nova. This will be a pro-touring car unlike my old por street Hemi Dart. however like the dart this will have a modern Driveline.

LS3 Engine, After market valve train and cam
Stainless Headers, custom exhaust
9' rear 4.10 gears detroit locker
T56 tranny, built with monster II clutch and upgraded internals
disk brakes
TCI front clip (R&P steering, coilovers, etc) 4 link in rear.
Frame connectors
Vintage air, stereo, etc
All new wiring
PSI engine harness with PCM

Looking to make 450 at the wheels and drive the crap out of it.

All thats left are a few minor details in the plumbing of radiator, fuel lines, MC, and some more wiring. Of course I'm going to paint it and put 17's on it. Be easy on me! lol

[johnparts]

Been waiting to see pictures. I love that body style nova. Reminds me of a dart.

 

[gdrill]

Looks like a damn nice start! Good lookin' car.

 

[Revhendo]

Put a supercharger on that bad boy and have some real fun. Looks cool. How's the interior?

 

[1970Duster]

66-67 novas are the best! They are kick *** period. You gonna put a supercharger on it? Or a pair of turbos?

 

[Dartnut]

Is that thing a Valiant?
Sorry i had to say it!
A lot of people call our a bodies ''Novas'' lol
I always liked these Novas, they're light and nimble when built right.

 

[abodyjoe]

always liked those novas. those LS motors are the way to go these days.

 

[rapidtransitric]

For a bodies only?

 

[abodyjoe]

Better tell that to all guys who post Trucks, B bodies, Bicycles, Conquests and other things here. At least USCGCHARGER builds quality cars unlike some of the before mentioned posts.

Yeah Jason is a good guy that still hangs out even though he sold his Dart. It's unspoken that it's a gm and we don't care for them But this should still be a sick car when finished.

Cool! I used to be TOTALLY into Novas before.....had 2 '66's and a '67. But everybody loved them and I felt like they just weren't special enough, you know, kinda like '57 Chevys, and I had to get into A-bodys, to get off the beaten path. Plus '66/'67 Novas are usually MEGA overpriced, especially considering they were originally an economy car. But I still love them and yours looks to be a cool giant-killer!

Cheers! Hey, I own classic muscle cars from all of the Big 3!

i was originally looking for a 66-67 Nova, but found my 70 dart, which turned me into a mopar man. the nova's stock suspension is like driving around a wet sponge...


looks pretty straight.

 

[memike]

Great to see another build from you Jason , Yes the 66 Nova is my favorite
Nova, 2+2 Chevy II never tickled my fancy. Very nizzze :glasses7:

I will most likely put a procharger on it this summer.

Yes Ls motor are very efficient, and do I dare say 1/2 the price of the Gen # Hemi..lol

Thanks man.. I love my cars, I have a groups of guys around me that are the ones with the brains! lol

Mopar is still deep in my blood.. I will own more in the future. My DArt attracted a ton of attention.

Dart is long gone.. some jerk in FL! Wish I still had it as he just complains about it having too much HP and it being un-drivable b/c of the HP.. Damn old dude are a trip. :tard:
