1970 Nova “Notorious” has been selected as the 2008 Goodguys Muscle Machine of the Year presented by Detroit Speed & Engineering. The sinister charcoal and black Nova, built at the Rad Rides by Troy factory has pushed the G machine envelope to the brink. It’s a sinister machine which expertly combines extreme performance with impeccable build quality.
The exterior has been enhanced with one-piece door glass, custom slimmed down bumpers, rocker extensions, a belly pan, custom valences with Camaro driving lights up front, a one off hood, deck lid with integrated spoiler, Camaro taillights and more. All chrome trim has been painted black.
A massive 572-inch big block from GM Performance was mated to an F2 Pro Charger, an MSD “Big Stuff” ignition, custom headers and lots of trick plumbing rumble angrily under the hood. A Bowler Transmission and modified Detroit Speed suspension insure maximum performance. The one-off 18” Billet Specialties wheels are backed by Baer six-piston and fit snugly behind the rear fenders thanks to DSE mini tubs.
The interior is framed by a full roll cage with custom dash, Recaro seats, a Race Pack Instrument panel, one-off billet steering wheel and upholstery by the Recovery Room.
