And yes, it was on the cover of Car Craft Magazine August 2006 http://www.carcraft.com/featuredvehicles/ccrp_0608_1963_chevy_nova/ There have been several modifications since the article. Mainly the engine is newer, faster and more durable than the one in the article. (new motor put in at 12,000 miles, I bought the car from Mary Bourdy with 17,500 miles on it. Car has a total of 18,900 miles on it since. 5 times down the track…nitrous never used…just drive the car back & forth to my parents’ house). I don’t have the time to use the car for what it was built for. Car is for sale locally & I reserve the right to end the auction early. The car is awesome. Every time I fire it up I don't want to sell it. But I am making room for a new purchase & she has to go. Give me your best offer..you may be surprised! Brand new extra set of 135/60-15 MT ET Street Radials in rear. Heater blower included. All documentation I received from Mary Bourdy included + magazine.
