1970 Chevy Nova 2 door
388cid SBC stroker, BlueRacer cam, Tunnel ram intake, TH350, Flowmaster exhaust(for now), 14" Cragar SS(for now)
Alpine CD head unit, Alpine amp, JL subs.

I want to start with a simple drop and some different wheels. The rear wheels in the pics are gone, but the ones in the rear still stick out too much from the low backspacing to drop the car yet. I'd like to change back to a normal intake and get a low cowl hood, I'd also like to upgrade the heads and cam. The paint is too loud for me, I'm thinking a satin paint to make it easy to care for and easy to paint myself, thinking black, silver or dark gray. I may go with a shiny blue or dark green. I also want to repaint the dash black, not a fan of the custom paint job by the last owner. Long term plans are for a full pro-touring build, but we'll see if I even keep this car that long.

Yeah, I am thinking about selling it and getting an older Nova. I really want a 66-67 Nova, so I'm not sure how much I want to do to this car. Dropping a ton of money in it and then deciding I do want an older Nova is not the best way to go. So most likely this car will stay for sale and I'll make minor changes over time. And my asking price is very negotiable.
