This '67 Nova, aptly named Innovator, was built to be an example of where the hot rod and the custom industry could possibly head in the coming years. It's clear when you look at the Innovator it's definitely a "concept rod." Almost every piece of this pristine ride has been handcrafted or purpose made for this vehicle. The results are phenomenal, and we aren't the only ones who think so. The Innovator received the highly sought after Street Machine of... the Year award from Goodguys.That award also means that they didn't skimp on power during the build. Lift the hood and you will find a GM LSX 454 Block built by Mast Motorsports that cranks out an incredible 700HP and 611 lb-ft of torque. Bolted to the block is a Tremec T-56 Magnum transmission that sends the power to a custom 9-inch with a Detroit Trutrac differential that houses 3.90 gears. At the autocross course at the 2011 GoodGuys Nationals in Columbus, before it took home the 2011 Street Machine of the Year crown, the Innovator posted the best time of all the Street Machine finalists.The great handling that was on display at Columbus comes courtesy of a custom Roadster Shop Fast Track frame and suspension. AFCO remote reservoir, adjustable coilovers are found at all 4 corners. Stopping power comes thanks to custom Baer Extreme + 14-inch rotors and six piston calipers.The body also received a tremendous amount of work: The top was chopped ¾ of an inch, the fenders were re-profiled, and the main mid-section body line was completely removed and new accent lines were created over each wheel opening. New bumpers were made along with rocker extensions and front and rear diffusers. Inside, the Innovator continues its theme with a complete custom one-off interior. Throughout the entire car the Innovator lives up to its name. Take a glance inside and under the hood, and you'll be a believer too! Call click or visit for more information on this amazing machine!
