Supercharged Chevy Nova SS Built to Drive | The Perfect Cruising Restomod
Lakeside Speed & Shine builds some of the finest custom cars I've ever seen and this 1966 Chevy Nova SS is a perfect example of their work. Under the hood is a supercharged built LS1 making 550 hp all set onto TCI suspension components. The interior was done by Elegance Auto Interiors and is one of the finest interiors I've ever seen. This car is simple which means far from simple in all respects so sit back and enjoy the ride...

That Nova is absolutely gorgeous
Yes it is. Exceptional interior
....I kinda think I can smell Shawn smokin some ganja from Texas in this video............... allegedly . LMAO ! fkn car ROCKS bruv ! #puffpuffpass
"Stop light to stop light it's still gonna put a smile on your face" 👍👍💪🏽I was sold
Shawn, I know I have said it many times, but I absolutely LOVE your reactions to cars! You are the perfect guy to check out peoples cars! You are truly a cool guy! This Nova is beyond awesome. Like you said, stellar! Keep up the great work dude. I can't wait for your new videos!
100%. His reactions make the videos. Love this guy.
Very nice car with a lot of great details that's not over-done. The hardest part of creating a big budget car is not over-doing it.
That's a BEAUTIFUL Chevy Nova . ❤❤
Jeez what a Beautiful Ride!..I'd name that car "Snow White"
I like that.....Snow white!
I like how they made valve covers that look like BBC covers and also hid the coils, etc. That did a good job of polishing up the ugly of LS engines!
Beautiful Nova. Love it. You know I have a soft spot for white Novas! Oh, and Bro... It's Currie. lol!
Gotta love it bro!
That's a beautiful build all the way around.
Can’t go wrong with a two door deuce whether it be a post or no post there awesome!!!!
On of the Prettiest Beast I’ve seen
Nothing better than a clean Shoe 👌
This car is awesome. It definitely needs way more horsepower.
Man yall always feature the baddest rides. This Nova is ridiculous. My favorite segment is the black C10 with the white cab. Great content guys.
Well…. Pretty much all comments below say what I think also. This channel has had AMAZING builds and INSANE vehicles… but this is the first time I have watched and thought… I WOULD LOVE TO OWN THAT ONE It’s just all correct and finished so perfectly. Big Respect to everyone involved. Genius work
What a beautiful car. I’m so not a red anything guy especially interior, but on that car it just plain works
Beautiful Nova
I really love this car, it's so clean and just comes off as pure.
Keep doing ur thing Shawn am not much a gear head but I just love all the cars he shows love all old school cars keep up the awesome work
Thank you! Lots more to come I promise
One of my favorite cars ever on the channel. Fukkkk that thing is clean. I want it!
Clean is an over used description of a car at shows. This car is the definition of a Clean build. The body work is simple precision. As far as adding or subtracting power, that’s the easy part.
I'd drive it every day! beautiful car! They say "money doesn't buy happiness" i bet the owner of this car is happy and smiling every time he drives it, i would
Clean yet Mean! Perfect combination! I love a white or black color car outside with a red interior…perfect!
I've seen a lot of beautiful interiors over the years but this is by far the most beautiful interior on this planet. The body lines he enhanced did the trick. Bitchin !!!!
If my financial reality matched my dreams… this IS the man I’d want to build my car. Take note up and comers. This is how it’s done. Absolute excellence in execution.
In my opinion, 66 Nova the best looking Chevy ever made.
I gotta say 67.. because I have one in the garage.. lol..
what a rad ride
I think one of the best looking body lines of novas
My gosh that interior is sick haha
stunning and beautiful
Shawn reminded me of when my father in law smokes a joint before we visit in this episode.
that is one sweet Nova
You've showcased some incredible vehicles, and me being a Chevy guy born and raised in West Los Angeles, I've seen in person some incredible builds, but this Nova is one of, if not the most perfect builds I've ever seen.
Totally freaking sweet
I'm not a gearhead. Always loved manual brakes. He explained it perfectly! That plumbing is 👌😘
Beautiful build
That car is a poster in real life. 👌
The intro audio is insanely good 👌 audio...not to mention the top tier edit
Thanks. I love the work our team does. Kyle/SuedeOps is killing it
Beautiful, BEAUTIFUL car, and that interior is gorgeous! I freakin' love it!!! Shawn, I totally agree with you when it comes to horsepower. I often say, "What's the point in building a car with so much power if you're not racing it?" For the very few that actually do race their cars that have a bunch of power, their #1 excuse when they lose is, "I can't get it to hook." 🤣 🤣 🤣
Clean & Beautiful!
It's very difficult to make white cars pop but this builder hit every element of the car out of the park. A first class build.
Your enthusiasm is infectious mate, one of my favourite KZhead channels with top quality vehicles
Thank you! I get excited when cars are done right like this one. That interior knocked me out!!
You're right man, that interior is killer!! 66/67 Nova's are one of my all time favourite vehicles, although here in Australia they aren't easily available.
Thanks to Jim for bringing this piece of art to the channel Shawn! So friggin nice & ditto to all your comments! Amazing
I can usually nitpick about something on a car I dont like, but this car is badass.
Shawn this car looks fine waiting to hear her
LOVE These! I want One
Man that brings back some memories. My first car was a white '67 Nova. Unfortunately, it had two too many doors. Still had a great time in it and loved it.
When I was a kid my friends and I used to call that model Nova a "Box" Nova. We used to call them out when we saw them on the street. It was like spotting a unicorn for us.
Watching this one Shawn, is like going down a rabbit hole of OCD care of custom details to the N'th degree man...wow! 🤯
Lakeside Speed & Shine you F nailed it, Respect for all your hard work. 🔥🔥🔥
Amazing work and that Camaro we just put up of theirs is even better…great builders
Love the show please ignore the haters! Each episode the interviews are great and the questions are awesome!
Love that Nova! 👍🏾
My personal favorite car in my 60 yrs of my life, A OK 4 me 😊 WOW...
Perfect, perfect work.
Dope dope dope! Clean as hell. Perfect balance.
Don’t waste your time on the haters. You do a great job letting the experts talk and being articulate. That is one sharp car with every detail knocked out of the park.
Maybe this was before the drift C10 video but clearly you don't "need" 1000 HP to drift. Also this Nova is just stunning.
That has got to be the best nova to date. So clean and looks very well built. Stance… can’t get any better ! Too rad
Awesome ride, greetings from Perú
Such a beautiful cool ride
This video has a lot of value in the information given. Super great build too! If super great is a thing 😅
Stunning
excellent color, 1967 Chevy nova, in the GT sport game, has tuning characteristics of 1004 horsepower and accelerates to 420 km/h in the slip stream
This build is perfection in and out. Nicest Nova I’ve ever seen
This guy knows what his doing and we should all sit listen…….
Outstanding
A beautiful car that's beautifully built.
Outstanding little Nova, BUT that interior takes it to another level! WOW!!!
I think the key subjects are attention to detail and practically. I love when professionals tell people how absurd it is to have excessive HP on daily drivers. Anything over 600 just isn't reasonable for daily. Enjoying the ride is more important than being able to show off. I'll take a build like this any day of the week
Another beaut that is spot on .well done that man .keep well guys .
I like the stance. Tucked wheels back and front. Butter. Sweet ride Yo.
Back in 1992 I bought a 1/25 scale AMT model of a '67 Nova SS along with some aftermarket big wheels and rubber to create Pro Touring look seen on this car. I was way ahead of the concept by +30 years, I just did on a budget.
The car is cleeeeeeeean. Love it 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
The underside! 5:40 Holy crap!
Beautiful car
Definitely a beauty
Absolutely beautiful 66 Nova fit and finishes flawless 👍👍
Clean and simple goes a long way. Beautiful Nova.
That is a sweet build. HDM Bluetooth paddle shifters, cool beans.
The details! 😍
So many!!
That's how I would do it other than the color choice . Sea foam blue is one of the stock colors in that year and that would make it perfect . Well Done
I got my Journeyman's in Upholster decades ago, have done diamond pleats, tufts, etc, but these guys are on a whole other level. The metal fabrication and sharpening of lines is ridiculously meticulous!
its pretty smart to use a body like that as a base with a lot of fresh metal to work with vs trying to do that DIY with body/bondo on a car etc. This level of work is definitely worth it for the $ any day. Just so much more clean metal than filler On top of meticulous body work/gap care. Even the undercarriage shot was too clean. A proper presentation of "factory modern" for sure one of my favorites as a Chevy II/Nova fan
my favorite nova . one mean shoe box
So yeah that is one badass car... but so is that Jag in the background!
Nicely detailed and finished. Lots of thought went into this build yet a simple and straightforward car.
This nova is super clean and super neat. It has been tastefully done.
This car is phenomenal, absolutely perfect...🖤😎
@4:00 Truth. This car reminds me a lot of the CHC (Chris Holstrom Concepts) '67 Nova. Very sweet ride!
what a beautiful car.
solid clean nova! checked all boxes! the interior is so tastefully done as well with all the power features.
Dam fine car.
This is one sweet ride! Love that is has paddle shift.👍👍
It's a kit car assembled perfectly.
Nice machine!!!!
Out of all the car videos you’ve posted this car topped them all for me. Super super clean build the under carriage, engine bay and interior are so fucking immaculate.
Beautiful Nova deck out to the tens plus tens 66 Nova, a stunning thing! Congratulations! A true Hot Wheels car in real life miles of FUN!🤩 !!!
True beauty
Wow that’s one amazing ride!
Sure is
You show so many cool rides… ❤
I agree about horsepower on vehicles that are just street driven. In the right car even 300HP on the street will be plenty fun to drive.
HOLY SH$T Shawn, everything about this Nova is absolutely perfect. Stunning car! Killa build & like always, Killa episode. Cheers AutotopiaLA 💪🏻
66 is my favorite year nova and this one is perfect ... and I don't even like red interiors. When a car works in white it rocks.
The interior... yeah buddy. Gave me the warm n fuzzies. That's so proper. Like.. this car would steal an entire streets attention in Monaco...
