The exterior showcases a recently finished Laguna Grey and Matte Black paint scheme, with Rhino liner applied to the underside for added durability. Noteworthy features include a striking 2-inch cowl induction hood and multispoke Budnik Spyder wheels with titanium centers, wrapped in performance-oriented Goodrich Z Pro tires. Inside, the meticulous attention to detail continues with new leather and Alcantara bucket seats, complemented by a Momo Prototipo Black Edition steering wheel and a powder-coated Flaming River steering column. The cabin boasts numerous billet aluminum accents and an aftermarket emergency brake. Dakota Digital gauges, finished in carbon fiber and illuminated in red, keep track of vital engine statistics. While performance is undoubtedly a highlight, everyday comfort is not compromised. An Alpine audio system with Bluetooth connectivity, paired with new speakers and a Subwoofer, ensures an enjoyable drive. Additionally, a vintage A/C system maintains cabin coolness on warmer days.
At the heart of this 1962 Chevrolet Nova Sport Coupe lies the impressive 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine, boasting a mere 12,500 miles of use. Enhancing its performance capabilities are new Sanderson full-length ceramic headers, mated to a fresh 3-inch Flowmaster exhaust system. Taking it a step further, the LS3 engine has been upgraded with a Stage 3 Brian Tooley racing cam for added power. Ensuring optimal engine function is a new Speartech wiring harness, while cooling duties are handled by a black powder-coated Matson dual-fan radiator. Power is efficiently transferred to the rear wheels through a new TKO Tremec 5-speed transmission. The upgrades extend beyond the engine, with significant enhancements to the suspension and brakes. Wilwood brake calipers peek behind the alloy wheels, supported by a Heidts Mustang II front clip with 2" drop spindles and Heidts 4-link subframe connectors. The Nova also boasts new coilovers at all four corners. Rounding out the build are a new 12-gallon trunk-located fuel cell, a fresh power steering unit, and a recently installed starter motor, completing this comprehensive restoration.

The Chevrolet Nova was initially known as a compact economy car. But thanks to its light weight and impressive performance (when spec’d with a V8), the Nova soon became notorious in the hot-rodding community. Today, the Chevy II/Nova has become an icon in the tuning fraternity thanks to an abundance of aftermarket parts and a wealth of knowledge. It seems the sky is the limit for some of these impressive builds, and the car featured here is no exception. This 1969 Chevrolet Nova features an impressive spec list that includes a bored-out V8 engine with high-compression pistons, a swapped manual transmission, and a rather eye-catching exterior, complete with unique graphics.
The Chevrolet Nova, or Chevy II as it was also known, was the Bowtie's small car offering. Yes, amidst all the land yachts and pumped-up muscle cars, there existed buyers who still wanted something more compact. That didn't mean that buyers had to give up on large engines, though. On the contrary, the Nova, which ran between 1962 and 1979, with a brief re-appearance from 1985 to 1988, was offered with V8 power if buyers desired such. This particular 1971 Chevrolet Nova has received a comprehensive restoration, plus a new heart that's traveled less than 5,000 miles. Hence, it's a turn-key classic car that can burn rubber at your command. Will you add it to your garage, drive it, enjoy it, and cherish it for future generations? If you're willing to do all these things, give us a call.
The Chevrolet Corvette has always been an iconic sports car. While the fourth generation may have looked like an evolution of its predecessor, under the skin, things were completely redesigned. The C4 features a revised five-link suspension set up for the rear, which greatly improved handling. The fiberglass panels were upgraded to plastic, and the radiator was angled at 15 degrees so that police radar would have a harder time locking on to the front end. All in all, the C4 generation of Chevrolet Corvette marked a massive shift for the model — and it’s no wonder that interest and prices are on the rise. Our featured car is a 1989 Chevrolet Corvette with 43,000 miles on the clock. It could be the perfect companion for your next classic adventure.
The Camaro platform was introduced in 1966 as a pony car to compete with Ford's wildly successful Mustang. It quickly rose to fame and became very desirable among both muscle car and sports car enthusiasts. The third-generation Camaro was introduced in 1982, and it modernized the platform heavily with innovations in all departments. The IROC-Z was a performance option that was exclusively available on the Z28 Camaro. It was born out of a racing series, making it a unique Camaro trim level with Corvette DNA. This is a well-preserved example of a 1986 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z Coupe with just 4,820 miles.

Italy has a rich and vibrant history of producing sports cars of all shapes and sizes. While you may more commonly think of a roaring Ferrari V12 or a Lamborghini V10, the country also gave birth to some truly amazing, affordable sports cars. Take the Fiat X1/9, for example. Despite featuring a relatively small 1,290cc engine, the little Fiat is a true sportscar focused on offering the best driver experience. It’s a strict two-seater with a mid-engine layout and a design that predated the Toyota MR-2 by several years. Today, the Fiat X1/9 has a cult following around the world, with fans smitten by the car’s baby-Ferrari style and experience. Our featured car is reportedly all-original and comes with original mileage of just 49,300 on the odometer — exceptional for a car of this vintage.

Even though pickup trucks were far more utilitarian back in the ’50s, they still had a popular following. While they may not have offered the same blend of off-road ability and on-road comfort as today’s options, trucks like the 1959 Chevrolet Apache Pickup were known for their reliability and ruggedness. Originally known as the Chevrolet Task Force series of trucks, in 1958 the company changed the names of their lineup. The light-duty series, as is featured here, adopted the “Apache” moniker, along with a redesign of the front end. Our featured truck appears to be in excellent condition for a workhorse of its age. It has a 235ci I6 engine under the hood and a manual transmission.
