1972 Chevrolet Nova Coupe

Being offered for sale is this very nicely appointed 1972 Chevrolet Nova Coupe. It is probably one of the nicest Third Generation dry California examples we ve seen. This Nova was previously restored as original except for the high-performance Chevy ZZ4 crate engine and TH350 transmission. Painted in its original color of Gulf Green this is one solid Nova with no evidence of rust or accident damage easily bringing the car to its current status on the widely recognized Vehicle Condition Scale of a strong No. 3 - Very Good (a show quality driver showing very little wear driven sparingly and used primarily as a weekend driver during the summer months for shows and simply pleasure). Known History Exterior A complete re-paint was performed by a southern California Chevrolet dealership. Prior to application of the 2-stage with clear coat finish all stainless body trim and chrome pieces were removed. The results are remarkable and showroom fresh. Interior The factory bench seat interior dash pad door panels scuff plates kick panels rear side panels armrest pads dome light and base and headliner are free of any rips tears scratches or other blemishes often found in cars of this era with original interior. Like the exterior the interior is close to factory original with the exception of a steering column mounted Sun super tach II and below dash oil amp and temp gauge set 2-speed electric wipers and CD player. An Owner s manual is included. As expected all instrumentation lamps and other electrical components are in their proper operating condition.
