Vehicle Description
A single-year bold factory style, rumbling V8 power, and the right
Super Sport upgrades make this 1972 Chevrolet Nova SS Tribute the
classic that knows how to get the right kind of attention just by
arriving on the scene.
The trim tag tells us the Orange Flame is the factory-correct
color, and that's quite important to Chevy fans. It was only
offered in 1972, and it means this SS tribute was born to be bold.
There was even a quality respray later in life so that this one
radiates with a modern clearcoat shine. The sunlight loves to show
off the straight panels and good gaps seen throughout this coupe.
Adding to the shine is the solid investment in newer brightwork you
see everywhere from the wraparound chrome bumpers to the window
trim. Plus, as a proper SS tribute, they made sure to give you all
the best pieces. The blackout grille, blackout rear panel, vent
trim hood, ribbed rockers, and full SS badging get this one instant
respect. And the 15-inch rally wheels help unite classic shine and
sporty style in this vintage Nova.
Just like the exterior, the interior has the factory-correct color
and it's attractive because of an investment in quality. Nice
carpeting, detailed door panels, a smooth dash, and upgraded
upholstery with velour-like inserts make the full package quite
inviting. So you'll happily bring along family and friends. There's
even a retro-style AM/FM stereo with Bluetooth and modern speakers
to keep everyone entertained. But no matter how many people come
along for the ride, the driver is always king. You have later high
back bucket seats in front, a three-spoke sports steering wheel, a
B&M floor shifter, and an AutoMeter gauge package neatly
mounted under the dash.
Under the hood is a 350 cubic-inch V8. It has a little extra flair
from the valve covers and air grabber. The V8 has been upgraded
with a Holley four-barrel carburetor, aluminum intake, HEI
ignition, and long tube headers feeding the dual exhaust. Plus
there are plenty of newer maintenance items like hoses, wires,
plugs, and brake booster. So you can start to see how this bold
Nova was built to be a soil runner. You'll even spot newer front
end components and bushings in the undercarriage photos. The TH400
three-speed automatic transmission is the kind of stout unit that
was built for big block duty, so it can handle this enhanced motor
and more. Plus power steering, power brakes with discs up front,
and wide BF Goodrich Radial T/A make for a solid all-around
driver.
This Nova takes a rare and bold color and upgrades it to Super
Sport status with a well-done small block. That's a receipt for a
great memorable classic, and that's why you don't want to miss this
Chevy. Call today!!!
