    I bought a 72 Nova, in 86 that had no problems for 900 dollars. Boy-O-Boy have the times have changed. Have a great day Nick.

    This is a perfect fix while you drive it. It's a shame I sold my engine I've had sitting around because it would go nicely in here. All camaros and novas like this 72 beauty needs a big block lol electrical work isn't an issue. Shes a solid unit that needs the gremlins worked out. Its funny seeing those negative comments. I've been working and building cars for 45years and this one isn't scaring me away one bit.

  • @Vultor
    @Vultor День тому +2

    1972 Nova didn't offer a big block so we know the 427 emblem is just that. So the SS emblems are probably suspect too. Nice looking car. Has potential. Priced about right for what it is and what it needs.

    Sure is a sharp looking car! If someone is willing to do a little work they will have a great car to cruise. I see restored Novas for double that price. Just depends if you have more ability or money.

      @guylandgrebe6030 Depends on how much you can do. To me, body work is a lot. Engine rebuild is expensive. I hate electrical but a good tune up and some work on the wiring and you can drive with pride, and confidence.

    First thing, it was a 4 speed manual transmission! Its a NOVA SS ! This car needs to be restored to original specs. But the $$$$$ its not a cheap undertaking! A classic Chevy nova! Body’s stright! A 400cui sbc, if you have the $$$$! You can make this one an everyday driver? Or a drag car? Looks good!

    • @Vultor

      Probably not a true SS car. 350 with a four speed, 10 bolt rear end.

      We don’t have enough markup to do anything. We keep them cheap for the home garage guys who want to save money and can do all the stuff themselves. If this car didn’t have issues it would be mid 30k here on the lot. Just recently we sold one for 28k that wasn’t even a true SS.

    The body looks pretty good. Its a shame its an electrical nightmare. Im doing a ground up resto on my inherited 1970 Nova SS. Complete rewire was tops on list. Every nut and bolt and bushing and the list is endless. All things considered, your car is still priced ok, by todays market.

    @JCTheLawnCareGuy День тому +2

    Not every classic can be sold as a trailer queen. They give average guys like us the opportunity to own something that drives and something that has further potential. This is a necessary market. If you’re looking for perfection, go somewhere else and expect to go there with a bigger wallet. If you want something you can drive around, tinker with and or potentially make into a show car, then these are your guys!

    Let's see, needs electrical work,nothing on dash works, about a 30 footer as far as paint goes, gas tank leaks, under sized battery in trunk with hookups running thru 4 inch hole s in trunk, windshield leaks [carpet needs replacing,wonder why] ,goofy stitching on bucket seats, 427 badges on a small block car [Badges? We don't need no stupid badges!] .About the only thing going for it is it is an original 4 speed car {No selector knob on the steering column] and chrome looks presentable. Sorry to be so brutal but it is what it is. At $23 k, better figure spending that much again to make it presentable,

    For the price that's not a bad,,,,,ive seen a 1969 nova for $9,000,00 more than your price ans it was silver with black stripes,,,,but much rather have the black nova and build a bug block from the 9 grand in other words much rather have the black 72 instead of the 69 and drop a 632 right down in her or a 540 which is cheaper than the 632 but rhank you again nuck
