    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.

    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!

    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!

People sell their cars at different stages, and depending on their budget, they take long to complete. And let’s be honest, cars like these are never really “finished.” Always an upgrade around the corner.

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.
