It's hard to think of a compact muscle car without immediately
thinking of the legendary Chevrolet Nova, and if there's a single
machine that would define the very word of "intimidation", this
specific 1972 Chevy Nova would be it. Combining menacing black
aesthetics with a badass, athletic stance, this here is one of the
most aggressive Novas we've had at Coyote Classics in quite some
time. Powered by a built-behemoth 496 (that's right, 496) C.I. V8
breathing through a 4-barrel carburetor, this '72 Nova is lean,
mean, and ready to rock & roll! What's more, the built 496 that
lies under the hood features aluminum heads and is told to be
making in excess of 700hp. Now, that's a staggering number, and it
would be hard to believe were it not for this Nova's unbelievable
performance to back it up. Torque is plowed into the pavement
through a smooth-shifting 3-speed automatic transmission, sure to
put a smile on your face with its superb throttle response and ease
of use! Additionally, this Nova shows only 52,602 believed-to-be
original miles on the odometer, which isn't surprising given the
fantastic condition that the body and interior are in! The
laser-straight bodylines on this Nova are covered beautifully in
deep gloss black paint, a show-winning job reflecting like a mirror
in the sun after being buffed to a brilliant shine. The floors,
frame, trunk, and jambs are all also rock-solid and in great shape!
Opening the twin doors reveals a near-perfect black vinyl interior,
a truly stunning space complete with gorgeous comfy split-bench
seats, factory gauges, and a vintage-style tachometer so you can
keep your revs in check! Options on this killer '72 Nova are
spartan but functional, including power steering, front disc
brakes, aluminum heads, aftermarket headers, a functional cowl
hood, an aftermarket shifter, a vintage-style tachometer, a
show-stopping interior and exterior paint scheme, a laser-straight
body, factory gauges, vent windows, and a beastly-sounding cut off
dual exhaust system. The car rides on a classic set of 15" black
painted wheels with chrome "Dog Dish" hubcaps over blackwall tires
for a perfectly vicious, aggressive look. Turn the key and the 496
roars to life, running and driving like it can't wait to get back
out onto the strip. It's sure to turn heads up and down the street,
leaving a smile on your face both whenever you look at it AND when
you're behind the wheel. There aren't too many cars that have both
qualities, so you're not going to want to let this '72 Nova get
away!
