[fuzter2007]

Stupid music. It`s a shame so nice video about a car, ruined with this stupid noise in background. (the song is called Save Yourself from Stabbing Westward... in know about music.. but.... everything must be on the correct place: this is a car-video)

remove this noise...

[racerxnova]

@fuzter2007 dont like it? then don't watch it. plenty of other videos on here

[kodiacwolf]

All I can say is I want that Nova!....sold my 68 wish i didnt!!! Nice car man!

[TheLongFang]

@kodiacwolf ah, :(

[mike44089]

[dotiro8]

Nice video. I got a 70 Nova stock suspension w/Caltracs . I'm running a BBC 461. Wut type of shocks do you have?

[racerxnova]

@dotiro8 just some old aluminum carrera circle track shocks on the back, competition engineering on the front. works great though....

[hotrodkimbla]

[angel2rx]

[angel2rx]

[ifab2holeshot]

[klassette2]

That first track looks like shadyside.

[russnord]

[racerxnova]

[racerxnova]

some at shadyside and some at commerce too

[Kaneezy2010]

is that at greer?

[racerxnova]

yes some of it is at greer... this is fairly old though

[racerxnova]

i had a much newer video up but due to the retarded policies youtube has on copyrighted music in videos it was taken down. im surprised it hasnt taken this one down yet. its not like we are making any money off of this video.... just doing it for fun. anyway all of this footage is at least 2 years old.

[Arkbear]

I had a 69 & a 71....both SS.....both wrecked from drinking & driving when I was a teenager.....I hope you are always sober when driving....I am 47 now and sober 7 years.......I would give anything to have that black Betty......can't find any at at a reasonable rice anymore........I guess these videos are the closest I will ever get to having another beauty like yours....*sigh*

[racerxnova]

oh yes always sober. keep looking you get lucky every once in a while.. we are restoring another one we found right now. 69 Black SS with original 300 horse 350 engine block and m21 muncie, has original window sticker, protecto plate, and sales reciept. black buckets with center console with gauges in it, and factory in dash tach. its going to be a fun car when its finished

[Arkbear]

Oh sure....make me drool! :)

Yes, I will have me another.....just a matter of time.....vrrooom!

John -

[christmastreeorange]

72 was the last nice Nova.

[Hawkman440x]

couldn't agree more, im lucky enough to own one too!

[robie6547]

bad ass chevy nova kick ass run.

[KFCHambone]

thats's just a 355? omg! makes me feel confident about the one I just purchased from a machine shop :)

[Hawkman440x]

just a 355? lol throw a badass solid roller cam-good heads/intake+high compression you'll have yourself one BAD ASS motor.

[racerxnova]

yeah its just a 355, un-ported trick flow aluminum heads, ross flat top pistons, victor jr, solid cam, nothing too wild. its been a 6.87 in ideal conditions with no nitrous

[racerxnova]

just to clarify a 6.87 in the 1/8 mile.

[sfoot22]

Wish my 71 was that straight,looks like it hooks great, how much tire & wheel you running? Backspacing? Minitubs? I can only get 8.5s with stock inners, need some more, little scared to hack it up by myself. Nice video, nicer car.

[Hawkman440x]

I Fit 9" Slicks with stock wheel wells in my 1972

-15x8" Wheels with 4.5" Backspacing

-P275/60 r15 Mickey Thompson ET Streets

P275=9" wide

60=28" Tall

r15= 15" wheel

Hope this helps

[sfoot22]

Helps immensely, thanks. Backspacing was exactly what I needed. Thanks again.

[Hawkman440x]

No Problem, any other quesitons just ask-i have done lots to my 1972.

[racerxnova]

sorry i havent been on here in a while. im running hoosier 28X9 slicks. stock width 10 bolt, no mini tubs, mono leafs in stock location. only the shocks have been relocated

[sfoot22]

Thanks for the reply, it was a bracket car when I was in high school with welded spiders, slapper bars & 4:56s. But, when I was in h.s., we just bolted on wider wheels (who cares if they fit in the fenders). Car has been in storage for awhile now & started putting together a list of "want to's". Thanks to all of you who have posted answers for me. Be prepared to answer more queries as I go. Thanks again.

[racerxnova]

i guess hawkman gave already gave you all the info you need. but with 28 X 9 hoosiers mine will scrub just a little on the inside against the inner fender when im turning. we cut as much of the non necessary metal off as possible on the inner fender and massaged on it a little to gain more clearance... trimmed the inside lip of the quarter panel. works great when its going in a straight line.... no rubs

[racerxnova]

i already mentioned this somewhere else i think but we relocated the shocks inward. we fabricated a piece of tubing that would bolt to the inside of each "framerail" on the back to bolt the top of the shocks to. the car has competition engineering slide-a-links on it and we welded a tab to the inside of that for the bottom of the shocks. works great

[acres1972]

I have 28x9 M/T's on my 72 nova. They dont rub at all. Matter of fact I can get put fingers between the slicks and fenders. No cutting of the fenders either

[racerxnova]

mickey 28x9s must be narrower than hoosier 28x9s.... i used to run a mickey 26x10 but the car seems to like the taller narrower hoosier better

[Elitehacker07]

My dad Owns a 1972 Nova SS (The real SuperSport Package) An awesome year for the nova and the last untill they started modernizing them, From 72 to 73+ Is a Huge leap, they even made Hatchback Novas =[

[ginareynolds164]

[ginareynolds164]

Was 18 in '72, and got to drive my Dad's '72 8-cyl Nova to school sometimes - fond memories ;) nice video ....
