Others Survive.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Engine &amp; Drivetrain<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Original 350ci V8 \u2013 According to the owner, the Nova retains its original small-block Chevrolet engine.<\/li>\n<li>Original 3-Speed Manual Transmission \u2013 A seldom-seen combination that gives this SS an especially engaging, period-correct driving experience.<\/li>\n<li>Floor-Mounted Manual Shifter with center console.<\/li>\n<li>Original Positraction Rear Axle \u2013 According to the owner.<\/li>\n<li>Power Brakes \u2013 Visible in the engine compartment and a welcome feature for a classic intended to be driven.<\/li>\n<li>The engine compartment maintains an appropriately original presentation rather than the highly detailed appearance of a restored show car.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Exterior<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Original Burgundy Paint \u2013 The preserved finish is an important part of this Nova\u2019s survivor character.<\/li>\n<li>SS Appearance Package with black side striping.<\/li>\n<li>SS Grille and Exterior Badging \u2013 Including front grille, fender, door, and rear SS identification.<\/li>\n<li>350 Fender Badging<\/li>\n<li>Rally-Style Wheels with trim rings and center caps.<\/li>\n<li>BFGoodrich Radial T\/A Raised White-Letter Tires<\/li>\n<li>Chrome bumpers and exterior brightwork complement the largely original presentation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Interior<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Black Bucket-Seat Interior \u2013 Remarkably well preserved and showing limited wear consistent with the car\u2019s overall presentation.<\/li>\n<li>Center Console<\/li>\n<li>3-Speed Floor Shifter<\/li>\n<li>SS Steering Wheel<\/li>\n<li>Factory-Style Dashboard and Instrumentation<\/li>\n<li>Auxiliary Console Gauges for battery, temperature, fuel, and oil pressure.<\/li>\n<li>Red Carpeting provides a period contrast against the black interior.<\/li>\n<li>Factory-style door panels, controls, and interior trim remain in place.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Documentation &amp; History<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One of the strongest aspects of this Nova is the collection of documentation accompanying it.
