    I bought a 1972 nova right out of boot camp. It was black also, I’m 56 now and would love to get my hands on another one. Good memories.

    Car is a perfect candidate for a full restoration, and deserves it.

    I had this same exact car when I was 18, when I bought it though it had a strait 6 and ended up building a 305 for it out of an 80's Camaro.. Same black paint with rally wheels.. Lot of old memories seeing this video, can't wait to see how it ends up..

    Very cool video !! I Just stumbled across this channel. Im Inheriting a 1970 SS Nova and its a very similar project. It had new .030 350 CI engine put in in 1987 and barely was driven after that.. Ive got so many parts and so much to do.. I want it right and it is my keeper.. Im gonna really look around your channel and take it all in.

    Some Mexicans did NOT like the Chevy Nova, because "No va" in Spanish means "doesn't go." I had a pristine 1972 Chevy Nova back in 1988 that my uncle bought for $300.00 bucks. I traded him a 1976 Honda 650 motorcycle for it that I took in part trade for my 1973 BMW 2002 Balvanera. I also got a 1975 VW Super beetle along with the 650 Honda For the BMW. I got the BMW when I traded a friend for my new $500 TV set and a stereo. I swapped the Nova for a 1983 Pontiac Trans am with a 305 and a 5 speed. Plus the guy gave me $1,700.00 on top of the Trans Am. I then swapped the 5 year old Trans am for a 1975 Chevy corvette that I then sold for $5,650.00 and it all started with the $500 TV and a stereo.

    Hey buddy, there’s a company called Dent Wizard, which can come by and get those small hail dents and any car dings out of the side of the car without painting so if that cars got a good paint job or you don’t want to sell it call the company it’s similar to Dent Wizard Those people are out of Ohio Columbus area so man good luck love the car

    Very solid car looks like, certainly needs attention or sold, too good of a car, too valuable of a car to let go. I've been building a 71 finally have it driving, that's a SS car, must be fixed.
