1966 Chevrolet Chevy II Nova SS Custom Coupe

This custom 1966 Chevrolet Chevy II Nova SS is powered by a 6.2-liter LS3 engine with custom heads, a Texas Speed camshaft, Comp rockers, head studs, custom headers, an Edelbrock intake and a custom-painted and pinstriped intake cover with red Chevrolet-script valve covers. The engine is paired with a 4L80E four-speed automatic transmission controlled by a standalone Compushift controller. Cooling is handled by an aluminum Matson radiator with dual electric fans, and the car is equipped with a larger Tilton starter. A custom dual exhaust system treated with a heat-reducing coating uses MagnaFlow mufflers. The chassis features an Alston front clip, power rack-and-pinion steering, QA1 adjustable coilovers front and rear, a mini-tubbed rear and four-link rear suspension. Four-wheel Wilwood disc brakes feature a Wilwood master cylinder and Wilwood red six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers. Starting with a clean, virtually rust-free car, the body retains its original sheet metal and was professionally prepared and refinished in a custom BASF gray with four coats of clear. The jambs, undersides of the doors and undercarriage were painted to match. Exterior details include replated chrome, repolished stainless trim, tucked and smoothed bumpers, a hand-painted rear panel, upgraded Eddie Motorsports hood and trunk hinges, new weatherstripping and new lenses. The windshield and rear glass are new, while most of the remaining glass is original. High-intensity LED headlights also incorporate daytime running lights. Custom-painted Budnik wheels with polished outer lips measure 17 inches in front and 18 inches at the rear and are fitted with Toyo front and Falken rear tires. The red interior retains the original SS seat frames with new perforated leather upholstery. The color-matched dashboard houses calibrated and hand-painted gauges, including an upgraded tachometer. A custom steering wheel matching the exterior wheel design is mounted to a painted tilt steering column. Additional interior equipment includes handmade door-panel grab handles, upgraded door handles and window cranks, a stock dashboard radio and an aftermarket stereo in the glove box with remote control, XM radio, CD and iPod capabilities. The car also has a center console, Vintage Air climate control, a red suede headliner, matching rear package tray, front and rear seat belts and Dynamat insulation in the floors, door panels, roof and trunk. Speakers are concealed behind perforated door panels and the rear deck. Other equipment includes an electronic push-button parking brake, seven-speed Detroit Speed under-dash wiper motor and a finished trunk with a concealed driver-side fuel door using a carbon-charcoal filter. The seller has owned the car for 26 years. A hand-painted original Felix Chevrolet license plate frame is included with the sale, along with a build book containing build photos.
