Selling my 65 Nova clone, car has 140k on shell, though at this point the only things with original miles are a few trim screws. Car was totally restored in 2007, and built to the tune of 700hp. The term "bat **** insane" doesn't really even scratch the surface on this car. It has 2000 miles MAX on the restoration and all mods. Its killing me to sell it, but I just have zero time for it. I bought it on an impulse because I wanted a sick toy. At the time the wife was pregnant, but I said its ok, I'll have time. Yeah, well...not the case. So now its either let it sit, or let it go to a good home. Car is insane but somehow very consistent & reliable. I drove it daily for 2 weeks once...terrible on gas but damn reliable, lol.

It's been to the track once, before I had it, ran 11.3 in the 1/4 on 5psi boost, now it sits at 10psi. I have the slip to prove it and a folder with over $40k in receipts for just about every nut & bolt. It's every bit of a low 10 second car, possible even 9's with the right conditions/driver. Feel free to price out a project like this, you'll hit $50k very quick. I'm asking literally half of whats in it, $22kand I may negotiate somewhat but don't be stupid, I'm not taking $15k, and don't want any trades. Cash or certified bank check, cars not leaving my possession until the money is cleared in my account so no BS. Call or text 732-510-8547
