This is a 1972 Chevy Nova with 39,700 miles. It was originally a 250ci inline 6 cylinder, ut has been replaced with a new, rate 350 engine less than 1,000 miles ago. It retains it's original powerglide transmission, ut with the addition of a TransGo shift improver kit. This car isn't hacked up and gets a lot of attention from anyone who sees or hears it, s it's kind of a "sleeper". Replace the wheels and you'll have a strong running SS clone.
The body isn't perfect, ut the general appearance is very good. To make it perfect, t needs a drivers side front fender and both rear quarters (you could use partial patch panels on both sides, lthough I think full quarters make for a better end-result). The floor-pans (original) are very solid and the trunk pan only has a small (3/4" x 1") hole that could be replaced easily.
The engine is completely new (not rebuilt). It's an L31-R Chevrolet Performance 350 that has 9.5:1 compression with Vortec cylinder heads (upgraded to screw-in rocker studs and beehive valve springs), ydraulic roller cam (Comp Cams .495/.502 lift), delbrock RPM intake, SD HEI ignition, delbrock 650 AVS carburetor, nd Hooker Headers. It's a really nice street combination that starts easily and idles great. I've also upgraded the original 10 bolt differential with 30-spline Moser axles and Eaton TrueTrac posi unit. The front suspension is entirely new using Energy Suspension polyurethane bushings and MOOG ball joints. The mono-leaf suspension has been swapped for a set of USA made multi-leafs.
The interior is entirely original, nd is in great shape! The only flaw is the drivers seat which has a couple small tears in the bottom cushion (you can see this in the pictures).
This is a pretty neat car and there are too many things to list (I have all the receipts), o feel free to contact Cory with any questions. I'm also limited to 12 pictures on this site, o please ask if you'd like more detailed photos.
Thanks for looking.
