ResurreXion ’72 Nova
Speedtech 1972 Nova: The ResurreXion of a Race-Car-Combo Cruiser
The Speedtech 1972 Nova, nicknamed ResurreXion, started life as a Super Chevy Magazine project car. Speedtech originally donated the front suspension components for the article, but when the magazine bailed on the project, Blake Foster at Speedtech purchased the car to give it a second life.
From there, the plan was set: build a dual-purpose machine — a car that could compete like a race car but drive like a daily cruiser. The result is a Nova that blurs the lines between Pro Touring performance and street-friendly comfort.
