eBay Find: An Exceptionally Awesome Sleeper Nova


eBay Find: An Exceptionally Awesome Sleeper Nova

We love finding cool sleepers either for sale, or just looking good on the streets, waiting to swallow an unsuspecting victim. The granny blue 1969 Nova we found on eBay looks like something an elderly woman idled to church each week, but it actually sports a 540ci Dart big block Chevy, dressed with factory valve covers no less, that makes 725 pump gas horses. 

The car has only lived with two owners and the first on had it repainted in 1984. From the photos we see on the ad, the paint has held up great over the last 26 years!

The interior is another place where the sleeper sales job is taken to perfection. Looking 100% stock, aside from some additional gauges hanging under the dash, this monster even sports the column shifter, which must make operating the full-manual valve bodied Turbo 400 fun. 

This car was built by a professional shop and the quality of their work shows through and through. From the stealthy widened rear wheel wells, to the unassuming stance (aside from those pesky Cal Tracs poking out) the shop nailed it and we want to feel what 725hp feels like shoving us into that bench seat!

Even if you are a Ford guy, respect for this Nova is mandatory!
