1968 Chevy Nova 427 Walkaround and Startup 

Very nice car. Pissed me off seeing the comments picking out flaws; lets see what they're driving. You've certainly put a lot of hard work and time into it. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Small, simple, but with a BIG ASS ENGINE. Truly a Muscle Car! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Awsome car, love Novas but this one is one the best I have seen, congrats.

Uh. One of my very favorite car's of all time. What a total man toy. Love it. I don't think I could ever sell it.

If I had a time-machine I'd travel back to 1972 and pick out one of these, have it shipped to Norway along with some good go-fast-farts and other good stuff and have it all hermetically sealed. And then travel back and get the car going again in this day and age. My dreamcar. Right there. Absolutely love it. If I had one just like this (Or black) I'd just cruise during the summer with my girl and just enjoy a car from what seems to be a simpler (and better??) time.

Really love the color combination. Nice!!

Thats the nicest nova i have ever seen. What a cam too. I could listen to that thing idle all day. Best in show winner all day long.

Unicorn beautiful deuce master skills and it shows winter’s aluminum 427 BBC is so rare and Coveted enjoy it and God bless

Looks like it is a clone, they never had that hood, and the stripes were never like that. A Yenko Deuce ZL1 427 in 1968 ( It is believed that only 15-25 SS 427-powered 1968 Novas were sold by Harrell through a network of Chevrolet dealerships, each of which included a full limited warranty) would not look like this. Baldwin/Motion Performance sidepipe-equipped machines produced by Joel Rosen of Motion Performance in conjunction with Baldwin Chevrolet were nothing short of awesome. For around $3,600, each model had the 396 engine removed and, in its place was stuffed a more potent 450-horse 427 Rat motor. It also was delivered with a Muncie close-ratio four speed, Positraction rear end with re-welded spring perches, wide F-70x14 tires, dual exhaust, SS 427 emblems, chrome valve covers and air cleaner, modified 7500 rpm ignition, heavy-duty radiator, power front disc brakes, full dyno tune and factory warranty. For a mere $1,200 more, there was a healthier version available that featured a 500-horse engine, Super-Bite suspension, a large three-barrel Holley carb and special aluminum intake manifold, modified Mallory ignition system, dual electric fuel pumps, tuned equal-length headers, fiberglass hood scoop, racing clutch and aluminum flywheel encased in a competition-approved scattershield. Needless to say, these cars were the epitome of street performance. Nickey Chevrolet was by far the largest of the auto dealers involved in selling aftermarket performance cars during its heyday. In fact, if you wanted speed parts, you simply walked next door to Nickey's own speed shop. But, as is often the case with larger businesses, exact information is hard to come by regarding Nickey's potent lineup of Novas. It's certain, however, that the dealership produced 427-powered Novas prior to 1970 that were a handful on the street and at the track. ABOUT THIS CAR IN THE VIDEO (link... www.artandspeed.com/vehicles/137/1968-chevrolet-nova-zl1-427 )... The Ultimate Phantom COPO - Nova SS 427 ZL1 With genuine ZL1 1969 Camaros and Yenko Deuce Nova prices hitting the stratosphere, these special cars seem almost unobtainable for most of us. But take a close look at this very special Nova! This Nova SS 427 ZL1 was built as a phantom car, combining the best of both of its ancestors in a car that GM never built, but should have. A very special car indeed. This special Nova is powered by one of GM's limited edition, all aluminum 427 ZL1 crate engines. With only a limited number produced, this engine is almost as rare as the original ZL1s! Backed by a Doug Nash 4-speed transmission, and 12 bolt 3.73 rear, this Nova means serious business. Faithfully restored to represent a big block SS Nova, this car has all the right components including factory bucket seats and console, professionally refurbished factory SS gauges, 200MPH speedometer, factory fast-ratio steering, and more. Beautifully finished in Chevrolet Redline Red with black vinyl roof and black SS stripes (under clear coat), this car is stunning. With all new chrome, factory SS wheels and Goodyear Polyglass raised letter tires, this monster looks like its sitting on the Chevrolet showroom. Find out how to make this one of a kind Nova yours.

Awesome Nova

That’s a beauty!

a classy masterpiece 😍

Great machine.... I had the oportunity to see a Chevy Nova in Houston, take a look of my video. ;)

Tribute car? nicely done.

to bad it is not breathing out of that hood scoop,, this is a dream car,, daily driver :)

427/4speed.. wow! 200mph speedo! How about the rectangle tach? The console looks Z28.. really nice

Nice 68, Missing some emblems to be a real SS but still a nice car

I loved it the only problems I Noticed, the passenger side door needs to be aligned and the exhaust tips should. Clear the bumped to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.

B E A U T I F U L. ! !

needs headers ,but otherwise perfect nova and all aluminum engine !!good job

Very nice car

its missing the tips on the end of the exhaust pipes. extend out just past the rear bumper. this will keep those black soot stains from the bumper. prob sound better too! liked & subscribed

Very nice!

Beautiful nova I have 72 nova in sequoia green / black vinyl roof all original accepted engine and did same setup as yours but it sbc427 With some rare stuff add to it Rare Nickey traction bars Gabriel pro shocks 3 ways adjustment 3.90 posi 10 bolts rear Stage 2 auto street/strip

Very clean😎😍

Beautiful nova ...👍❤

Where is the chevyII insignia on the truck and the Nova insignias’s on the rear quarters?

Idle it up a little 😁

your going to lie to the public . thats is a 1968 Nova. check it frist i can recall is a CHEVY 2 Nova . its the frist big body . im a nut comes to the novas from 1962-76 novas .from Gordon in Flint Michigan .

Let's see the cowl tag......

Man that’s a big cam,your eyes must burn from the Vox.

This is the best I've seen

Speedometer iz km/h? That's rare for Chevy vehicle(s).

Love it

ps the back tires could be a little taller/wider ect thinkin cragars on all fours

beautiful car like new

It’s a baby chevelle. Nice

It is a real Z71 427, and is available for purchase again!

Steering wheel is a nice touch but I don't care for the hood emblem

200 mph Speedo...where did you get that?????

hell yeah sexy lil 68 love the novas my dad has a big tire 68 would'nt change a thing

I'd like to see the suspension, if it's been 'beefed up' any, I had a nova but it wasn't one of these, I put a sb 400 w/turbo 400 w/ shift kit, shoved the rear shocks up through the rear wheelhouse.

You need to talk and tell us about the car. Nice Nova.

Nice job! A lot of hard work.👍👍 ( It seems there is always going to be at least 1 moron who picks out flaws in the comments. POS💩)

Rare bird!

why is the passenger door kicked out on the bottom? And yes it is fully shut.

Solid lifters!?,thumpercam s

A 1968 Nova with 1968 miles on the odometer ? what are the odds on that ? It's out of gas, no A/C, and the rims look like they came off a Firebird. It says it has a 427 in too many spots. Get add on A/C, put rally rims on it, put the original hood back on, and fill up the tank. Other than that, nice ride.

Is that a real ZL1 427? If not still 1 very clean sweet looking nova! From maniacal s10 RU-vid.

Sounds sooo strong...

Ohh Charlie . . .

Looking at those gauges, it looks like it'll pass everything but the gas station and do so at incredible speed. Especially since its a nova. I love novas, don't get me wrong, but 200 mph? That's gotta be Canadian or custom. Everyone already mentioned the door, and the exhaust tips, so how about that selling price? 40 grand sound like a good start?

I can feel the cam in my stomach

How did you get those rear quarter windows down all the way?! My 71 only go down about half way. Which is factory.

What a Nice duece

Wow, lotta jealous nit pickers commenting here, as usual.

alunimen radiatoro in 68 ??

I think I would like to handle that 4spd...about the time that 427 starts to wake up...I rememberrrrrrrrrr

Those lifters are hydraulics...& a tad noisy...need to be seein' to that..

It must have a Kph speedometer.

ie grumpy bill

Where did you get that dash old with tac and 200 mph

Ahhh poor cam begging for oil😩😩

Too bad the Don yanko nova was the only nova to have the 427 this was never built by or produced by Chevrolet it's a fake and there are only 8 yanko novas known to exist 😊

I would hope the rear brakes are upgraded to disc......

Hmm... It looks like Camaro SS to me with the oldest model

Looks like it needs gas or a fixed gauge

You better get some gas.

Sounds like it's under water.

Nice Nova, if the passenger door was adjusted

Great cheap muscle 15k

Odometer shows 1968 miles. Coincidence? Or fraud.

runnin like shit

Sounds like shit tbh!!!

Loose fuel line

Nice car but bad idle !

Give you 10 grand for ‘this bono buggy

Very nice car.
