Shawn W’s 1971 Nova

Built From The Ground Up

Shawn W’s 1971 Nova

Shawn W bought this 1971 Nova back in 2012 under the assumption that it was a good car that he could enjoy. It turns out that would not be the case.

The condition was so bad that it necessitated a total restoration, but that turned into a positive situation as now Shawn could do what he wanted to the Nova, modifying it as he saw fit.

“Knowing it’s been done right on the restoration. The engine is my favorite part. I have all done the way I wanted.” 

-Shawn

The end result is a refreshed 1971 Nova that is now powered by a 6.0L Chevy LS with a TH700R4 transmission.

"You had all the parts I need from body to suspension"

-Shawn
