As per the reports of Motortrend, it was Steve Strope who helped Rogan build the car of his dreams. When the UFC commentator contacted Strope with this dream in mind, he asked the ex-Fear Factor host to check his newly built Nova Z/28, which he built for a customer. That was the very step first Rogan took to build the 1969 Chevrolet Nova. The 55-year-old helped Strope bring his ideas into reality by boosting him up. Nonetheless, it was not an easy job for either of them.
Steve boarded illustrators Tavis Highlander and Eric Brockmeyer to produce some conceptual drawings. The 55-year-old loved the whole idea, and he so badly wanted to bring each and every idea into reality.
In Steve’s words as given in Motortrend, “He wanted us to build it, like, right now,” said Steve. “He looked me straight in the eye and said, ‘I want to build the coolest [expletive] Nova ever. ‘” It is clear from Strope’s words that when it comes to cars Rogan is always ready to go the extra mile.
A possession worth more than $30,000
Rogan had to spend more than $30,000 to own the 1969 Chevy Nova. The car is nothing but a custom classic that gives the 60s vibe to anyone who chooses to travel in it. It is Rogan’s love for automobiles that makes him go to any extent to customize something new.
