You are bidding on a 72 Chevy Nova with 78,000 original miles. A little back history on this car. My father owned a auto body shop years ago and ordered his chevy parts from Strohl Chevrolet in Fogelsville PA. The guy that would run parts out to the body shop bought brand new off the lot this 72 Nova. It was always garage kept. He then sold it to a relative who removed the original 307 and power glide transmission. That guy tore the front end off and installed a 350 with a turbo 350. He never completed this project and in turn sold it to the guy whom I bought it from. The guy I got it from bought all kinds of parts to finish it and never got the chance. It had been sitting in his yard for the past 12 years up on jack stands with covers over it.
I recently purchased this car and put the front end back on and made it drivable. The transmission was rebuild and had zero miles on it. I drove the car less than one mile since it has been running. It had B&M trick shift fluid in it that looked like the day it was put in. The transmission is shifted on the column. It tends to bind going through the gears. The linkage might need a little tweeking. The motor is a 350. I was told it is a 4 bolt main block out of a 71 Nova SS. Has steel heads with an edlebrock intake and a 700 Holley carb. Does have a cam in it. Sounds very healthy.
The car is solid. The only issues with rust are around the passenger wheel well in that back. This can be seen in the pictures. There is a little rust on the driver side wheel well behind the mud flap. A tree branch fell on the top of the drive side 1/4 and let a nice dent. This can also be seen in the picture, as well as the dent on the door. I was told the second owner was backing up into his garage prior to removing the original motor and trans and caught something with the door. There was body work done to the driver side fender which now has primer on it. The trunk floor is solid. It is so original that there is still a factory window clip under the original mat.
The interior is in very great shape. There is a rip on the passenger side seat bottom. Someone did cut up the dash where the radio goes. They also put speakers in the kick panels. Other than those few things very original as far as interior goes.
I am selling this until the end of the month. If the car does not sell I am keeping it and giving it the proper restoration it deserves. I do have a clean and clear PA title that verifies and states that mileage of 79,001. The car will need to be picked up from my residence. Also included is a 12 bolt rear that I was told came from the same 71 SS Nova that the motor came from. Along with the 12 bolt the car had a disk brake upgrade from the 71 SS as well. It will need an alignment. There is also a set of tires and wheels that come with it. The 2 corvette style rally's come with it, but they do not clear the front brakes.
If there are any questions please ask and I will do my best to have them answered before the auction ends. Please understand I do NOT live on the computer and might not be able to respond in a few days.

Chevy Corvette gets Valet Mode with Performance Data Recorder [w/video]
Mon, 18 Aug 2014For the 2015-model-year, Chevrolet introduces Valet Mode for the Corvette, an enhancement to the Performance Data Recorder (PDR) already available and to your peace of mind. The PDR already captures 720p HD video with a windshield-mounted camera, records interior audio with a cabin microphone and gathers telemetry data using GPS, saving the data to an SD card in the glovebox. You can then watch your track-day antics with various information overlays on the center console screen.
Valet Mode will let you hit 'Replay' when your car gets pulled up front smelling vaguely of fricasseed clutch. Turned on by entering a four-digit code, it also locks the interior storage spaces and turns off the infotainment system. It can't be turned off until the code is re-entered. There's a press release below with more information as well as a video that explains how it works, with the obligatory dig at the 'Vette's biggest foe.
Helicopter crashes on Top Gear Korea set while chasing Corvette ZR1
Mon, 11 Feb 2013The formula of Top Gear Korea is seemingly about the same as it is everywhere else in the world, including the flagship British original: involve interesting cars in fantastical situations with charismatic hosts. That prescription has proved to be pretty reliable over the years, and has lead to some truly memorable and exciting pieces of television.
Something like that was undoubtedly what the Korean producers were after when they lined up this segment - a drag race between a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and an AH1 Cobra military helicopter. The planners almost certainly did not expect the filming of the segment to go quite as wrong as it actually did, with the helicopter actually crashing into the dirt after the "drag race" had been completed. Thankfully, we're told that no one was seriously injured in the crash, but the footage, in the video below, is pretty damn chilling to watch, nevertheless.
Chevrolet Camaros at SEMA are a mobile accessory catalog
Wed, 06 Nov 2013Chevy's goal at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas this week seems to be to show as much of its Performance and Accessories catalog as possible. That's why it brought three different Camaros - two with V8s and one powered by a V6 - with all of the best goodies from the catalog already fitted.
We gave a more in-depth recap of the Performance Camaro V8 Concept, the Performance Camaro V6 Concept and the Performance Garage Concept already, but we figured you'd like a short recap for each. It should be noted, though, that you can order all of the items you see here for your own Camaro, so be sure to take a long, hard look at our live galleries, just in case you're in the market for some mods.
Essentially, the Performance Garage Concept and the Performance V8 Concept are the same car - the only difference is that the later features a whole host of aesthetic tweaks in addition to its aftermarket, shorty exhaust headers and 2.75-inch exhaust. (The Performance Garage Concept has been usefully placed on its side; the better to see the new parts added to the vehicle.) The Performance V6 Concept is notable because, despite being a V6, there's no shortage of performance goodies fitted. All three of the Performance Camaros benefit from items from the Camaro ZL1, which can also be ordered through the catalog.
