THIS IS A STOCK SUSPENSION RADIAL TIRE NOVA. PLEASE READ THIS VERY CAREFULLY AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, YOU CAN CALL ME!! (Steve 215-237-2898).

You are bidding on an amazingly fast (72) Nova with a 434 small block. The car has a unique blow-thru supercharger set-up that uses a custom carb-solutions unlimited CSU carb and a vortech xx trim supercharger that is fed cool air by a precision turbo air-to-water intercooler. The fresh 434 dart little m small block originally had a best et of 8.16 at 169 m.p.h. with a 1.28 60 ft time on 295 Micky Thompson drag radials and that was with a 23 degree head. Since then we added a killer top end using a 15 degree cylinder head with outrageous flow numbers and a custom ground camshaft. The motor was built by Dave Acker of A&W Performance in Levittown, PA. The motor should make every bit of 1400 hp. It could make more but the blower probably won't allow it. This car should easily run in the 7 second zone. It has been said before, but this car drives like it is on a rail - dead straight, smooth as glass. The 25.5 chassis is certified to 750s. The car was built by Ron Rhodes of Rhodes Custom Auto in Deleware. You really have to see this car in person to appreciate it. The car has too many custom items, however here is a small list:

As said before, the motor is a 434 small block - block is a dart little m, has a callies magnum crankshaft, oliver rods, ATI balancer, 15 degree - 12 cylinder heads, 215 intake valves, all jesel rocker shaft system, splayed mains, titan oil pan, titan sportsman oil pump, stahl custom stepped headers, MSD 7535 boost programable ignition, VEGO wide band. Transmission is a trans specialities super glide with dedenbear case/trans break with a custom ptc converter. Fire system. Certified 25.5 funny car cage. Magna-fuel E.F.I. fuel pump. Aerospace 4 wheel disc brakes. Hole shot wheels. Fab-9 rear with custom gear set. Mini dash tubs/CAL/trac bars. TRZ upper and lower control arms. QA1 coil over shocks. 3200 lbs. plus driver. Car is totally streetable, working headlights, turn signals, etc.
