1972 Chevrolet Nova

INTRODUCTION: This hot looking Nova has received a body off frame restoration and delivers the complete package- great looks, strong performance, and the comfort and drivability that make it an all around great hobby car. EXTERIOR: Here's an elevated grocery getter! Bright red, cowl hood and Yenko striping- this certainly isn't Grandma's Nova. The body was off the frame during restoration. The panels are straight with no rust or damage, and the bright red paint has been polished smooth and glossy. Proper Yenko-style striping runs across the hood and down the sides, giving it a tough look. The glass is tinted and the windshield was replaced. The stainless moldings and mirrors were replaced, and the grille looks new. The bumpers are in good shape but are not new. Out back it has the SS tail panel, and the weatherstrips were replaced as well. It's rolling on 17 billet SS wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich tires. INTERIOR: Sitting inside this car is pretty darn nice! It has new contoured sport bucket seats with a matching rear seat. The side panels and armrests are new reproductions. Fresh looking carpet is on the floor, while an Alcantara style headliner and visors dress things up overhead. There are three point shoulder belts for the front passengers. The dash pad was reupholstered, the instrument panel replaced and upgraded with VHX analog and digital gauges. A vintage style cushion grip steering wheel is mounted on a tilt column. It also has a Bluetooth stereo with speakers molded into the kick panels and 6x9s in back. Upgraded wiring with a modern fuse panel was installed. Between the buckets is a nice center console with an armrest, cup holder and there's a floor mounted shifter on the floor. ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Under the hood is a very stout 350 putting out an estimated 375+ horsepower. It's equipped with ProMax aluminum heads, an EnduraShine intake and a dual-feed Holley carburetor. A great looking set of cast aluminum valve covers dresses it up, while headers, an aluminum water pump, Tuff Stuff alternator and neatly organized plug wires round out the performance package. It also features power steering, power brakes and air conditioning. An aluminum radiator with dual electric fans keeps it running cool. The engine bay is painted body color red, and everything looks tidy and fresh. TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and the jamb are painted in the same beautiful, glossy red as the body, and a new weatherstrip seals the compartment. Inside, everything has been neatly finished with fitted carpeting, including the floor and side panels. A large amplifier is neatly mounted in the trunk and powers a pair of 6x9 speakers. UNDERSIDE: The underside is pretty impressive too! The car was taken apart with the body off the front subframe and all the components removed for restoration. The floors are rock solid and protected in a durable, color matched red chip guard finish. The front subframe and components were stripped and painted, while the steering and suspension were completely rebuilt with lowering springs and fresh shocks. Subframe connectors tie the front and rear together to reduce body twist and improve handling, and the rear suspension was rebuilt as well. It has a great sounding dual exhaust system. The brake system was gone through with disc brakes up front, drums in back and replaced lines. The fuel system was replaced, including the tank. Looking up at the motor, it's clean and the starter looks fresh. An upgraded 700R4 overdrive automatic has a custom vented pan for additional cooling, and the driveshaft leads back to a 10-bolt rear end with cruising gears.
