1974 Chevy Nova SS. 425 hp/350 V8.
Pure Detroit Muscle.
This is a before picture. Come this spring, it'll look like a different car.
LOOK! It even has my initials on it!
If you lined up 400 horses, and had them try to pull my car...I'd pull them instead. How? With THIS!

And, if I can locate a bikini car wash, pics of hot chicks waxing my hood.

Congratulations, SS! That is a bad ass car.
Have you listened to "Midnight Rambler" in it yet? |

No battery in it. See engine shot.
It had Antique plates on it. In my state, if you have Antique plates on yer car, you don't have to have state inspection on it. That would be great, except that if you have an Antique plate then you can't drive at night. So that's right out.
This car is...uhhhhh....not really street legal yet. I gotta put a new enviormental emissions thingy in the exhaust system. But I'll offset that with upgrading to 2.5 " exhaust pipes and Flowmaster 40 Series mufflers. That will more than make up for any loss of hp due to emissions control devices. There's some other things that are not quite street legal about it, but I should be able to hide those. I hope to have it inspected and on the road next week. Weather permitting.
However, Midnight Rambler will be the first thing that comes out of my speakers after I get it inspected.
Gyps...if you were anywhere near me, I'd pick you up...and we'd have us some fun. |

Mean looking, big car. Love it. Don't know the English equivalent for a nice-going, good-luck car, so, "kaloriziko"!  Have fun driving it.
P.S. Love the glimpse of the neigborhood too. |

You, sir, have fine tastes!! What's the engine in that car? I owned a 1974 Nova myself, from 1981 to 1989, an 8 cylinder model. The thing ran like a toilet at low speeds but really hit another level over 75 mph. It was also a gas/oil guzzler. I've been all Toyota since....

Nice ride!
However, saving for any future Stones shows is out of the question now...

SS, have you gotten your knob gobbled in that super fine "get plenty of ass" machine? |

My granddad sold Chevys at a dealership in Nebraska for years. I think he got started in ‘51. He'd drive the demonstrators over to the house all the time, the Nomads, the SS’s, Vettes, all that shit, everything, brand new. I remember some of the Vettes were stripped down to be race cars straight from the factory, no heater, no radio. Made to burn! |

That is a beautiful car!! My friend's mom had a Nova, it was gold in color.
The guys in her neighborhood were constantly asking her to sell it. She drove
like a bat out of Hell when she got behind the wheel. Those Nova's are worth
some $$$$$$ I can tell you that!! Once you fix that car up right, you are
going to be riding on some dough and makin' it go!! I see people in my
town with old cars all the time, fixed up like brand new and more. Sixties
Mustangs are really popular. Anyone have a 1966 GTO?
Beautiful car SirStonesalot!! Please post pics when it is finished. |

You and your new ride put me in mind of that old Sonics tune - "Boss Hoss". Enjoy! |

OK, to answer some questions.
The engine is a 350 V8. It dyno's at 425 hp. It has a Muncie 350 turbo automatic transmission, with a shift kit installed. 650 Holley double pumper carb(it's getting a fresh rebuild on it). The rear end is 4:11 posi. A new 2.5" exhaust with Flowmaster 40 series mufflers is going on within a week.
Once the weather gets a little better, I'm guessing late March/early April, it will be getting fresh paint and new shoes. No sense doing that until the roads get all that salt/calcium/cinders crap offa it. I'm leaning towards Metallic Red Wine. I will also get black Chevy "SS" stripes on the hood and deck lid. The white stripe that is along the bottom will be replaced by a matching black accent stripe. I will be getting new Keystone Klassic chrome racing wheels. They have some black accents in the inserts, so that will go nicely. The metallic paint really akes all that chrome pop off the car.
>Please Xzibit pimp my ride!<
If that fucker comes within 50 feet of my car, I will shoot his ass dead.
There will be no "pimpin". No stupid hood scoops or spoilers. No big fat mag tires on the back. No jackin' the air shocks up. Aside from the custom paint, this will be a very stock looking SS Nova. It isn't stock, of course, but it will look that way.
This will be a car that has a classic look, but also makes it known that it has evil on it's mind. Ginda...Boss Hoss will be song #2 on the playlist...good call.
I will post before and after pics later this spring.
Thanks for all the well wishes and nice words. I'm stoked about having a hot rod, and it was nice to share my excitement with you all.

Damn nice ride Essy!! I can hear that thing all the way down the Jersey Shore! I think your paint selection sounds like a perfect match. I agree that if that Pimp My Ride show got within' fifty miles of that ride I'd tell 'em to FO. Now,Chip Foose on the other hand.....Well just think what he would do to that car?! Sounds like you have got yourself a fun little side project in the coming weeks and months. Enjoy bro! Congrats!

keep it garaged between Oct. and March if possible, unless you have more warm Falls like last year! |

LOL!
The wife is not happy about giving up the garage. I had to promise to have one of those keyless remote starters installed on her SUV. That way she'll have a warm car to get in when she goes to work in the AM. That's a fair compromise, yeah?
I'm keeping my crappy Ford Probe to drive on shitty weather days. |

A fair and smart trade off, a win-win... I'll be back east this summer, probably August, you need to bring that thing down to the shore, we can put on some wife beaters and cruise Wildwood making fun of the big haired girls and Shidoobees'... |
