The Last Detail

Formerly owned by famed Baseball player and well known collector Reggie Jackson, this Novas history is nothing short of a Cinderella story. After being parked for good just down the block from the Reggies practice facility in California, Jackson passed it every day for years. Once he inquired and discovered the rare options package this car had, he purchased it and restored it to its current glory. Presented in Regal Red with contrasting black interior, this Nova is in like new condition in and out. The exterior is immaculate, including all britework, lenses, and window glass. Inward the interior keeps with the same theme and is in excellent condition including the bucket seats, door panels, dash, gauges, and carpet. Features on this Nova include bucket seats, SS console with the floor shift, and an AM/FM radio with a rear mounted antenna.

Power comes from an L79 327 V8 which produces 350 horsepower and 360 pounds of torque. The 327 is backed by a factory ordered M20 4 Speed transmission and a 12 bolt rear with posi-traction and 3.73 gears. Being the little sibling in the big body family of Chevys, this little Nova was born to run, and that it does! This Nova starts easily and settles into an ominous rumble, hinting at the trouble in store for the guy in the next lane. Shifts are tight and crisp and throttle response is quick, it is an absolute gas to drive!

Distinctly finished in Rose Mist with White trim, this Fiesta is simply striking. Having been thoroughly restored, this Oldsmobile is in excellent condition throughout. The paint is nearly flawless and blends nicely against the immense brightwork across the car. Inward the seats and door panels are covered in a two tone rose and white cloth, while the dash and some trim are painted to match the exterior, all are in near new condition. The trunk retains its full sized spare & jack and can easily accommodate a few sets of golf clubs/bags for Sunday mornings. Features like AM radio, power windows, and air conditioning all keep passengers comfortable at all times.

Highly optioned, this J-2 Fiesta is powered by the 371 Golden Rocket which added three, two barrel carburetors for a total of 312 horsepower and 415 pounds of torque! The tri-power V8 is backed by a Hydra-Matic 3 speed automatic transmission which shifts smoothly as it runs through all gears. At the time of restoration, all suspension, brakes, and driveline components were also restored so this Fiesta simply glides down the road.

This spectacular Nassau Blue Stingray has only 85k original documented miles, is equipped with the 427/425 horse motor, and backed by the 4 speed transmission. The Last Detail recently acquired this 66 Coupe from a prominent collector who recently passed away. His specialty was authentic unrestored original cars. With exception of a tired exterior lacquer re-spray and a recent complete engine re-build, this car appeared to be 100% original! After evaluating the cars authenticity, documentation and extensive service history, The Last Detail determined that a proper exterior re-spray would be in the cars best interest. In doing so, we took a very nice original car and raised the bar to a much higher level, making this Vette one youd be proud to own and show at any Concours event! The deep mirror finish is flawless from every angle and is a wonderful example that will make any Stingray enthusiast proud!

The original stainless and chrome is exceptional with a mirror shine. The original black seats are virtually unblemished, showing only the slightest patina and is absolutely gorgeous! The carpets, interior panels, headliner and center console are all in excellent condition. The original gauges, AM/FM radio and factory optioned teak steering wheel are completely pristine as well!  The cars undercarriage is completely original, solid, straight and sound!

Corvettes in this condition and with this amount of originality are extremely rare and highly prized in todays collector market. Finding honest and correct examples like this one is becoming harder and harder. If youve been looking for the perfect driver that can be taken to local events or just enjoyed privately, this car checks off all the important boxes: numbers matching, mechanically strong, cosmetically correct and gorgeous with a solid undercarriage.
