The Abandoned $500 Chevy Nova: FIRST WASH in 24 Years – INSANE Transformation + BURNOUTS!


The Abandoned $500 Chevy Nova: FIRST WASH in 24 Years – INSANE Transformation + BURNOUTS!

In the last video we saw Tommy getting this thing running with surprisingly little work. Now it’s running better and better and it gets a bath like none you have ever seen. It is a miracle transformation and one that will have you laughing.

When Tommy goes hunting for hot rod projects, you always know that something cool is going to follow him home. In this case he wasn’t hunting as much as he was taking advantage of a great deal with little information about the car, its history, or anything else. It’s rough. It’s ugly. But is it worth it? Watch.

Video Description:

You won’t believe the satisfying results and insane transformation that takes place with a FULL DAY of cleaning on our $500 Nova project. We got ourselves a HOT ROD with those big and little tires and wheels! This thing has all the attitude with its new tire and wheel setup, and it’s a burnout machine. That 305ci V8 really runs great. I can’t believe we took a 1978 Chevrolet Nova that’s been sitting since 1998 and made it RUN and DRIVE so easily! Carlee and I had a blast emptying out 24 years worth of JUNK in the interior, and found some special surprises along the way. We even found the original build sheet for this thing…not sure how that survived all these years.

For the first wash in 24 years, we used a pressure washer INSIDE and OUT because the car was disgusting. The difference is pretty amazing. I think we probably should’ve worn Biohazard suits, but overall it was a lot of fun to see this neglected and abandoned Nova come back to life. It literally runs better every time I drive it down the road, and we celebrated the insane transformation with a couple of smoky burnouts. Yes, I still have the 5 gallon gas jug in the front floor board. The whole process of bringing this old car back to life has been very satisfying, and the first wash really sealed the deal…we’ve certainly gotten our $500 worth out of this thing already! #firstwash #transformation #cardetail
