Vehicle Description
What we've got here sure is one sweet looking Chevy. This 1972
Chevrolet Nova is tough to beat, with aggressive performance and an
interior that not only looks great but is very comfortable. The
aggressive stance on this Nova is owed to some larger but matching
BF Goodrich rear tires, allowing for optimal grip to put power to
the pavement. 1972 was the last year of the pre-facelift
3rd-generation Nova, keeping the regular performance and aggressive
style before the federal safety and emissions standards of 1973
came into effect. As such, this Nova sports a proper 350 C.I. V8
engine paired to an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor for the optimal
performance it was meant for. Power gets to the rear end through
this Nova's 3-speed automatic transmission, delivering reliable,
smooth and optimal torque to the rear axle. The paint on this Nova
is really striking, in a dark maroon hue that not only shines
brilliantly but is laid out over a body that is largely
blemish-free. That presentation extends to the interior, where the
black vinyl deluxe bucket seats await a driver for one hell of a
comfortable cruising experience. Options fitted to this '72 Nova
include power steering, power brakes, front disc brakes, an
aftermarket steering wheel, an updated Pioneer AM/FM/CD stereo
system, vent windows, an aluminum radiator, and a great-sounding
dual exhaust system. The car rides on some gleaming chrome American
Racing wheels on top of some BF Goodrich "Advantage" T/A tires.
This Nova runs and drives even better than it looks, which is
really saying something considering this Chevy's attractive paint
and stance. Trust us, this thing can't wait to get back onto the
road to burn some rubber. All it is looking for is the right owner
to give it an excuse to do so.
