1973 Chevrolet Nova

Description

There's something special about the third-generation Chevrolet Nova. It just seemed to hit the sweet spot of power, affordability, and style that made them an icon. And this example with its performance crate V8, A/C interior, and recent quality investments represents it all so well.

There was over $2k recently invested in the paintwork. It brings a whole new degree of shine to the factory-correct Midnight Blue Metallic. And this added luster does a great job of highlighting the third-gen Nova's more athletic sheetmetal. The crisp lines, flared fenders, and a hint of a flying buttress in the rear makes this both sleek and muscular. But a true American needs brightwork, too. And against the dark paint pieces like the wraparound chrome bumpers and updated style Rally wheels really look distinctive.

Inside, the all-black presentation will remind you of the best muscle cars. But this one is also a fine cruiser. Two rows of bench seats give you plenty of room for family and friends. Plus, the factory-correct black cloth is a nice comfort feature. The same goes for the upgrades like the cold-blowing air conditioning and AM/FM/CD stereo with USB input. But more than a coddler, this Nova is a driver's machine. That's why you have the grippy Grant sports steering wheel. Beyond that, the long factory speedometer is supplemented by nicely integrated auxiliary gauges and a large column-mounted tach with shift light.

The dark engine bay funnels all your attention to the motor with it's bold block, shinning air topper, and matching cast valve covers. This looks like it's radiating power and for a very good reason. It's a 350 cubic-inch crate V8 that has been further enhanced with a mild cam, four-barrel carburetor, and Edelbrock intake. Plus, the Hedman headers add even more power as they also contribute to the rumble of the dual exhaust. The TH350 three-speed automatic transmission is stout enough to get the power to the ground, and it's also a nice choice for easy cruising. Plus, with power steering and front disc brakes, this is a fine all-around driver.

The sale comes with plenty of paperwork, including the original window sticker, warranty card, owner's manual, title documentation, build receipts, and maintenance records. So you can see how this car started life and document its transformation into a true street machine. Between the original spirit and cool upgrades, this Nova is one fresh and irresistible package.
