Vehicle Description
It's not just that this 1976 Chevy Nova Concours has its
numbers-matching V8, exceptional preservation, and excellent
documentation. It's that this true classic has also been given
solid investment to keep it a strong and attractive cruiser. Best
of all, you can get all of these desirable features for an
exceptionally affordable price.
When was the last time you saw a fourth-gen Nova? So this one is
not only a time capsule, but it's also likely the only one showing
up to cars & coffee. And this is the kind of car that deserves to
be both showcased and driven. For example, the factory-correct
Cream paint was given a good respray and a recent detail to give it
a nice shine. But the overall presentation will not make you
nervous about hitting the road. In fact, once you look at the
investments, you'll see this one classic was made to be a better
driver. It has an upscale cruiser appearance with a premium
half-vinyl roof and bright trim bordering it. The big chrome
bumpers, bright headlight bezels, special badging, and optional
color-matched Rally wheels are all part of a premium and preserved
presentation. And we particularly like the addition of the red
pinstripe. It looks bold against the earth-tone paint, and it
coordinates nicely with a new set of redline tires. It all makes
for the kind of impression of a car with good care. That's because
the low odometer is suspected of representing the full mileage, and
that would mean averaging less than 800 miles annually.
The tan vinyl interior appears to be highly original, and the level
of quality and preservation is another reason for suspecting the
low mileage. Good carpeting, color-keyed floor mats, smooth
wood-like trim, and textured door panels are all part of this
detailed premium style. The front bench has a supple feel, and
there's even a fold-down armrest for more individual-style comfort.
In fact, this really feels centered around you with a tilt steering
column and the essential features within easy reach. There are some
well-integrated updates to keep this a good cruiser, like a new
headliner with working dome light, and there are provisions for
R134a air conditioning (it will need servicing to blow cold again.)
And the overall impression is certainly about a true vintage
machine. That's why the factory Delco AM radio with 8-track is
there for display in this time capsule.
Under the hood is a bright orange 305 cubic inch V8, and it not
only has the look of originality, but it's also the confirmed
numbers-matching block. It's exceptionally stock and very nicely
detailed, right down to the AC decal on the air cleaner. Plus, we
were told there have been recent investments like newer belts, an
updated exhaust with Flowmaster muffler, and the carb was
cleaned/serviced. So the way this V8 fires up and runs reaffirms a
life of care so far. The TH350 three-speed automatic transmission
shifts smoothly, and it connects to a rear end with good cruising
highway gears. There are also new front ball joints and front
bushings for a more confident ride. Add in power steering, power
brakes, and front discs, and you can see how this Chevy is a solid
classic cruiser.
The sale comes complete with exceptional documentation, including
the original window sticker, bill of sale, and owner's manual. This
is your rare opportunity at an affordable classic that has both
prestige and distinction. Call today!!!
