For Sale: 1974 Chevrolet Nova in Lithia Springs, Georgia

This 1974 Chevrolet Nova has a unique style that makes for a V8-powered classic that will have plenty of stories to tell. So dig into the details, because this is a classic with true personality.

A Nova upgraded to black always commands attention. There's a sleekness here that shows off the iconic body lines, and this was the final year for this very desirable generation. And speaking of the model year, keen eyes will notice this has the cleaner front end of the pre-1973 cars. So this has interesting details where the front chrome bumper hugs the form better, but the rear one is notched for the license plate. And the later-style thicker c-pillar looks more authoritative. Part of that imposing attitude also comes from the larger American Racing icon cross style wheels. The larger rear tires and a hint of the traction bars really make for a sporty stance. So it's a total package that looks distinct without losing that driver-ready look and attitude you love in a Nova.

The black interior is quite inviting. Good carpeting, a smooth dash, clean door panels, newer upholstery, and a taut headliner make for good fundamentals. Even the dome light works. But what's most attractive is its driver-oriented style. You have high-back front bucket seats, a three-spoke sports steering wheel, a Cheetah SCS shifter, and a full Speedhut gauge package with large speedo and tach. Under the hood is a solid small block upgrade. The 350 cubic-inch V8 has all the right performance enhancements. This includes a Holley four-barrel carburetor, a Weiand Team G intake, and an Accel Super Coil. Plus, the headers add even more power as they also contribute to the rumble of the H-pipe dual exhaust. As you look underneath, you'll also spot the right supporting component, like subframe connectors, traction bars, and a Mr. Gasket diff cover. While this has enhanced power and poise, it also was built to be an all-around cruiser. So you have a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, and front discs.

This is one of the most desirable generations to own a Nova, and this example does it uniquely without taking away from the vintage style. So if you love a distinctly upgraded classic that was made to be enjoyed, call today!
