Nice cars but I think the property is the real show stopper. I live in the Midwest and have 3 acers of wooded land but nothing that looks like this guys place, Beautiful
I had a 1969 Dodge Dart GTS with a 383, 4bbl, 4-speed and headers. I left it with my Dad when I was stationed in Germany in 1971 & 72, and he went and sold it so he could pay his bills.
Wow you saw , he vacations on the driver window felt with his drink inside the car . Then with his wrist watch he malls the rear fender . Also puts his oily hands and arms wherever he wants being to tired to stand . HIS OLD CAR ?????? he cant find the hood release . lol .
the reminiscing begins,i had a 55 chev,a 72 chevelle 2 door hardtop,2 68 impalas,a camaro berlinneta,a camaro sc,an iron duke camaro,an iroc z and now my trans am is the latest and greatest.
canadian boy I had a built small block in a 67 Chevelle with a high lobe long duration cam and when we first put the motor together it had that same sewing machine sound in the valve train . Turned out our valve springs weren’t stiff enough and had to change lifters for our application. The valves were tapping against the rockers. Stiffer valve springs and different lifters made it run much better and got rid of that sewing machine valve train noise.
Had a 63 2 door coupe with a 327 300 horse 4 speed that would beat up any big block in the 8 th mile and smoke any small block in the quarter mile because of the weight.
1:51 sounds like the valves are slapping or the bottom end is going. Almost like the thing has no oil in it. Guess the guy that built it beat on it at the track. Hence the number 41 on it. Probably didn't break the motor in properly before beating on it.
To the Owner...great Bday present!! Every find what the source of the engine noise was? Gorgeous car its worth spending on you already know that from the looks of that double nickel!
@gordocarbo The noise was & is really attributed to using a cell phone as a recording device. Over the past 5-6 years, the only issue was the alternator. There is an update video about the Nova from up in NY. Thanks for watching... subscribe, and you can keep up with our videos as we get them released.
Back in the 60's, I owned the rare 64 Nova SS. This car is very hard to find. You can find 63 and 65 all day but NOT a 64. Mine was painted Midnight blue with light blue interior. Factory with a 283 and Muncie 4 speed. Great car I would love to have back.
austin teutsch I had one 2 door inline 6 power glide I DAMN sure miss it and lost 1000s if I just kept it these days sold mine at Ft. Eustis Va. 1977 very sad now.
Oh, yes. Fifty four years ago I bought my first new car, a 1964 Chevy II Model 100, 2 door, 194 cu. in. six cylinder engine. I guess was probably my favorite car. I chose the heavy duty suspension option (ha, ha, it cost less than an additional $10.00). At 75 mph, with the rear windows rolled half way down (that was as far as they would lower), the big bore exhaust made a beautiful throaty "BRRRRRRR". Sure, I miss it but you can't live in the past (but you can visit there from time to time).
to all u non car guys nutin sounds same at block /underhood as it does at ass end look at ur girl friend that nova is fucking sweet n runnin like a mofo if u have questions put your money where ur txt r that mother runs g r 8
A roller cam doesn’t make noise, a solid lifter might but not like that. Ticking time bomb in that lil nova. Buddy sold it to her after a few balls out trips down the strip🥴
I have a blue one just like it. It’s a factory SS car 0447 for the first 4 of the vin proving it’s a factory SS. So many are clones now an days I just wonder if that’s a factory SS 283 car like the badges displayed say it is. It’s missing the front chrome across the lip of the hood and missing the chrome strip on the back part of the deck lid but it’s still a clean car. They need to get the lower tension hood springs for the fiberglass hood so it can stay up on it’s own
Very nice B-Day present. Wish someone would do up a 62/63 Nova 2 wagon. My father had one and I use to sit on his lap and he taught me how to shift .. it was a wagon with a 3 speed (maybe a 4 speed). Was light blue. I was like 5 years old .. he sold it to get a 66 impala that was a big block and a very rare car if I had it today .. but he sold that.. then got a 77 Vega that I beat to crap and he had to scrap it. Lol. But that Nova wagon was a cool car.
I agree , I suppose it could be just valve-train noise if it happens to have a solid lifter cam. Ive also known of engines being assembled "loose" , "loose is fast" to the point where you can hear "piston rock" until the engine warms up so I dont know. I guess we can just wait and see lol. If it has oil pressure and is running cool then let it ride. The engine just sounds dry to me though..... absolutely beautiful car though.
He said it's the wrong color. There's nothing wrong with that color. He just needs glasses. That color is perfect. He must like orange or yellow. Oh well to each their own.
Sweet Car, but motor has issues. i always tell people my '64 Falcon Sprint looks Similar to this car. people know Novas, but not many i've known really know Falcons.
