I Purchased this nova just over 1 week ago. It was restored in England around 4 years ago and has been sold on a couple of times. It has a 350 built John Sleath engine that has been stroked to a 383,it makes 395BHP and 405LBFT. It is running a built TH350 tranny, that shifts unbelievably smooth. The colour is a modern Ford colour called burnished glow. The car is lowered all round with front coil overs, it actually turns in very well with minimum body role. It still has drums all round but stops well.

Incredibly cool! and a great colour for it. Sounds like it has had all of the hard work done, too. Looks lovely.

There is a lot to be said for a car that you can just use that someone else has already sunk the money into. Everyone loves a project but you never get to use them as much as you would like to

A thing of beauty , congrats on the purchase it looks mint . No Nova deserves to have it's rear end lowered and as I can't imagine you'll be thrashing it get it risen up maybe even higher than factory .
