1973 Chevrolet Nova SS 350
Some Muscle Cars Are Restored. Others Survive.
This documented 13,077-mile 1973 Chevrolet Nova SS represents something increasingly difficult to find: an authentic muscle-era Chevrolet that has been preserved rather than restored. Finished in its original Burgundy paint with factory-style SS striping over a black bucket-seat interior, the Nova retains the honest character that can only come with decades of careful ownership.
According to the owner, the car retains its original 350ci V8, original 3-speed manual transmission, and original Positraction rear axle. Having spent much of its life in the dry climate of El Paso, Texas, and benefiting from garage storage, this Nova presents as a remarkably intact survivor with an extensive collection of original documentation supporting its history.
Engine & Drivetrain
- Original 350ci V8 – According to the owner, the Nova retains its original small-block Chevrolet engine.
- Original 3-Speed Manual Transmission – A seldom-seen combination that gives this SS an especially engaging, period-correct driving experience.
- Floor-Mounted Manual Shifter with center console.
- Original Positraction Rear Axle – According to the owner.
- Power Brakes – Visible in the engine compartment and a welcome feature for a classic intended to be driven.
- The engine compartment maintains an appropriately original presentation rather than the highly detailed appearance of a restored show car.
Exterior
- Original Burgundy Paint – The preserved finish is an important part of this Nova’s survivor character.
- SS Appearance Package with black side striping.
- SS Grille and Exterior Badging – Including front grille, fender, door, and rear SS identification.
- 350 Fender Badging
- Rally-Style Wheels with trim rings and center caps.
- BFGoodrich Radial T/A Raised White-Letter Tires
- Chrome bumpers and exterior brightwork complement the largely original presentation.
Interior
- Black Bucket-Seat Interior – Remarkably well preserved and showing limited wear consistent with the car’s overall presentation.
- Center Console
- 3-Speed Floor Shifter
- SS Steering Wheel
- Factory-Style Dashboard and Instrumentation
- Auxiliary Console Gauges for battery, temperature, fuel, and oil pressure.
- Red Carpeting provides a period contrast against the black interior.
- Factory-style door panels, controls, and interior trim remain in place.
Documentation & History
One of the strongest aspects of this Nova is the collection of documentation accompanying it. Included with the sale are:
- Original Window Sticker
- Original New Vehicle Warranty pamphlet showing the original owner’s name and purchase date
- Partial Broadcast Sheet
- Original Buyer’s Order
- Dealership Quotation
- Owner’s Manual
- Original Sales Brochure
- Additional factory literature and supporting documentation
- 13,077 Miles
Together, these materials provide a valuable historical record and help tell the story of the Nova from its early ownership forward.
Why This Car Matters
Restored Novas can be found. Well-preserved survivors with original paint, drivetrain components, low reported mileage, and substantial documentation are another matter entirely.
This 1973 Nova SS offers collectors something restoration cannot reproduce: history that is still attached to the car. Its imperfections, preserved finishes, original components, and extensive paperwork are all part of that story.
It’s only original once—and more than five decades later, this Nova still has its story to tell.
