The builder took a 1970 Nova SS and swapped a turbocharged Cummins 4BT diesel outputting over 800 lb-ft of torque and &#8220;one hundred something&#8221; horsepower. The builder continued with a semi truck theme which is why you see the CB radio, eight-lug truck wheels, dually wheels, air horns etc. The Nova is currently for sale at the Racing Junk link below for $75,000 in case anyone is interested in buying one very unique Nova.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2uOu5zI9_lk\" frameborder=\"0\"
