Merchants Auto Group is pleased to present this 1979 Chevrolet Nova
2dr for your consideration at our Cicero Indiana showroom. From
1975 to 1979 Chevrolet's stalwart compact Nova continued its
assigned task of providing affordable and reliable transportation
for America. Available as a two-door coupe a four-door sedan and a
two-door hatchback the basic "X-body" shape did not change for the
fourth generation's entire five year production run. Even though
the Nova's body was new the new car's mechanicals were well sorted.
In fact the Nova's six-cylinder engine dated from 1962 the V-8s
dated from 1955 and the three-speed automatic transmissions had
been in production since the late 1960s. Also by 1975 GM had
finally sorted out emissions-related problems by adopting catalytic
convertors. The sixes were all 250 cid while the V-8s displaced 350
cid for 1975 and either 305 or 350 cid thereafter. The 1975 Novas
had radial tires front disc brakes and an improved front subframe
and suspension borrowed from the Camaro. Three-speed manual column
shift transmissions were standard and "four on the floor" was
optional on V-8 cars. Automatics were available on any engines with
column or optional floor shift. An luxury-oriented LN trim was on
the order sheet for 1975 adding wide-back reclining split front
seats additional sound insulation a standard electric clock and
other items. This kit was rebranded as the upscale Concours trim
level in 1976 and 1977 to which interior rosewood vinyl trim an
upright hood ornament exterior brightwork and specific full wheel
covers were all added. An SS package was also available in 1975 and
1976 and it included a heavy duty suspension Rally wheels a
four-spoke steering wheel and a unique grille. The package was
rebranded as the Nova Rally from 1977 through 1979. The 1975-79
Chevrolet Nova existed just as Japanese automakers started to
become more competitive. Young and economical buyers flocked to the
fourth generation Nova but the model was retired following the 1979
model year 18 years after it was introduced as Detroit switched its
all-new generation of compacts to a front-wheel drive platform. Not
before more than one million units were sold. To view this 1979
