1964 Chevrolet Nova Wagon Restomod

Description

This 1964 Chevrolet Chevy II Nova wagon is the perfect candidate for restomod customization. With flame-kissed paint, a powerful V8, and an updated interior, this one has left its family hauler days in the rear-view mirror.

Turning grocery-getters into go-fact machines is an art. The best way erase the suburban blues is by investing in a bold red. But more than just color, the canvas has to be at its best, so there's been time spent making the sheetmetal look great. Arguably the Nova's angular style offers the best-looking wagon of the mid-60s, and it has a stance that's perfect for an aggressive update. Only adding to the mystique are the mirror-like chrome bumpers, clean grille design, and a set of racing-style 15-inch alloys. Plus, you're going to love all the details, like how the tinted windows and painted pillars have a cool blackout effect, and the wood paneling on the tailgate is a little reminder of the family hauler days. But the best upgrade is the hood. The tall custom cowl induction setup draws even more attention thanks to the flames running up the power bulge.

All the red, black, and wood appearance of the exterior returns on the interior for a great uniform presentation. Up front is a custom set of two-tone cloth bucket seats with an arm rest center console for long haul usability. These also match nicely with the rear seats and custom door panels. And the cargo section is nicely finished in wood paneling, which will look great when you're tailgating at the car shows. But more than just attract admirers, this Nova was built to drive. It has great upgrades like an AM/FM/CD stereo and R134a air conditioning. Plus, large AutoMeter tach w/shift light, the three-spoke chrome steering wheel, integrated auxiliary gauge package, and B&M Quicksilver shifter will all give you that tingle of performance even before you twist the key and hear this one roar.

You're going to love lifting the hood at car shows, because this one shines so bright. We love all the polished components like the valve covers, air topper, alternator, compressor, master cylinder, and much more. But more than just look great, there's plenty of substance behind the flash. This is a 383 cubic-inch stroker V8 that's been upgraded with a four-barrel carburetor and performance intake. And while the dual exhaust already sounds amazing, push a button on the center console, and the electronic cutouts engage to give this wagon a thunderous presence. But there is more going on there than just brute power. It has thoughtful touches like an aluminum radiator with electric fan to keep everything running cool, front disc brakes, and a four-speed automatic transmission w/highway-friendly overdrive.

Complete with build receipts and maintenance records, you'll love convincing everyone that you bought a versatile family vehicle with plenty of cargo space. But really it's the enhanced small block power that sold you. Don't let this distinct classic slip away, call today!
