I'm I missed things -- there's certainly a lot more, but the build thread can provide more details. In case you didn't see it, the car recently won Best Street Machine at a large local indoor car show.

The car runs great. It's easy enough to drive, but honestly, it's quick on the throttle and it definitely gets your attention immediately when on the gas! It will send shivers down your spine...

Here's a video walk around of the car running:

I'm in Saskatchewan, Canada (north of North Dakota/Montana). TFX Transport can pick the car up here, clear customs for you (no duty or taxes) and drop it off at your door. I can help with logistics, but I'm not transporting the car. FYI, TFX is a regular transport company for major US collector car auctions.

If you want an uber-cool, bad to the bone, absolutely Mint Nova, this is it. I have touched pretty much every nut, bolt and washer on this car. If you have any questions or need photos of anything else, feel free to contact me.

Price is $89,500 US dollars (Firm + No Trades). It will cost more than this to duplicate the car. The car is stunning in person and speaks for itself.

After all that hard work, I would have a hard time letting go.

Good Luck.

Thanks man...It is a total rush! Even starting it! Cold start is basically two pumps on the pedal and it fires (maybe more like "explodes to life") immediately.

Thanks Paul. I'm sure it will make someone extremely happy! What's next? There's a super nice car I'm looking at and I think I just might devote some "love" to my '56 Mercury pickup truck project (only in Canada...eh?....L-O-L).
