1964 Custom Built Chevrolet Nova by Barry White’s Speedshop
DESCRIPTION
Barry’s Speedshop custom-built Chevrolet Nova. The exterior is Finished in Custom Mix Orange by PPG with a sumptuous bespoke Black upholstered Interior. This project took 18 months to complete and was carried out to an incredibly high standard of excellence for its restoration and reimagined elements of this build. The specification of parts and components used make this a truly unique vehicle. The appeal of this car is driven by the demands and expectations on classic car styling and the desire for modern performance, this makes it an exceptional marriage of both aspects.
The drive experience is truly awesome, it’s a sit back and cruise for weekends or a daily driver very easily. The proportions of this car make it a very sensible car to own, compare it to many muscle cars out there, that are stunning to look at & listen to, but too impractical to own. This stunning Chevrolet Nova is a great all-round package, also as a crowd pleaser and conversation maker you need look no further.
This was Barry White’s latest personal project. - details above

The car is ideal as its not too big unlike many 60's American classics. So as a regular driver its perfect. Starts first time and sounds incredible.
