"1972 Chevrolet Nova 2 Door Sedan
349,733 Nova's were built in 1972 and the majority of those were 2 door versions, making them among the most common commuter cars on the road with millions produced since 1962. These were an American staple with varying options including three engines which included an inline 6 250ci, a 307ci V8, and a 350ci V8. These are well documented cars, many of which were modded over the years, veering from stock configuration. Factory numbers are found at novasource.com
For consignment, a 1972 Chevrolet Nova 2 door sedan showing 4,781 miles, but the true miles are unknown. This Pro Street version has a 421ci stroker exposed to the world and when we asked our consignors if this car has won any awards, his answer was ""a lot"". Never have so few words said so much.
Exterior
Striking Sunset Orange Metallic paint glistens with two stage lucidity. The only call outs you'll find are in the rear panel and grille, where SS emblems reside. Both the grille and rear panel are black, providing some of the only contrast to the orange paint. The window reveals are polished and the car retains its chrome bumpers, but the most striking visual component might be the rear wing, a virtual color matched table top that extends horizontally well past the modest tail lights. Meanwhile, get a look at those 15-inch Billet Specialties wheels wrapped in staggered size tires including meaty 31x18.00R15LT's in the back. The paint and body are in great shape with some imperfections noted as a large scratch on the front fender, minor bubbling and blistering on the doors, and some chipped paint.
Interior
Ostrich serves as the pleated orange inserts on the door panels and is an attractive diversion from the norm and both doors present cleanly with only a small billet handle as the hardware. The color matched roll cage surrounds bucket seats taking on the bird skin inserts and black supports while equipped with racing harnesses. The rear section is also nicely finished in the material including the custom speaker box and sidewalls. Carbon fiber print rims the Billet Specialties steering wheel and fronts a digital dash contained in a very cool bowtie cutout. An AutoMeter tach is in the center with requisite shift light just above the Hurst pistol grip style shifter. Black carpet covers the floor nicely, the headliner is smooth and intact, and the trunk holds a fuel cell and red top battery.
Drivetrain
An engine so massive it could not be contained with a hood and it's a fully show ready engine bay exposed to the air. Here we have a 421ci Dart block based stroker V8 with forged Eagle rotating assembly, Bullet hydraulic roller cam, BDS 671 supercharger, ported Brodix Dragon Slayer head, and dual QuickFuel 4-barrel carburetors. It's mated to a TH400 3-speed automatic transmission routing power to the legendary Ford 9"" rear with 3.90 gears. The car is equipped with headers and power brakes.
Undercarriage
Race and show ready and clean with the shortened rear end and driveshaft loop along with lots of body colored panels. Dual exhaust runs through stainless race mufflers terminating under the car. Wilwood provides the power disc brakes all around and suspension includes coil overs front and back with ladder bars adding to the stability in back.
Drive-Ability
It's beast mode engaged when this one comes to life, and heads pop up from their cubicles here at Classic Auto Mall. It's just impressive in every way, from the sound to the appearance to the obvious power on hand. We note the reverse lights are not working and the blower belt is a bit looser than it should be. Beyond these things, all functions operate as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
In just the few days this car has been with us, (as we write this), the crowds have already started to form around it. With its tall sparkling engine bay and smooth, orange panels, this is one impressive car that can also scoot. The irony of the use of ostrich on the inside is not lost on us; the ostrich is not only an impressive looking beast but also the fastest running bird in the world!
