1972 Chevy Nova Review & Test- Drive

What we've got here sure is one sweet looking Chevy. This 1972 Chevrolet Nova is tough to beat, with aggressive performance and an interior that not only looks great but is very comfortable. The aggressive stance on this Nova is owed to some larger but matching BF Goodrich rear tires, allowing for optimal grip to put power to the pavement. 1972 was the last year of the pre-facelift 3rd-generation Nova, keeping the regular performance and aggressive style before the federal safety and emissions standards of 1973 came into effect. As such, this Nova sports a proper 350 C.I. V8 engine paired to an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor for the optimal performance it was meant for. Power gets to the rear end through this Nova's 3-speed automatic transmission, delivering reliable, smooth and optimal torque to the rear axle. The paint on this Nova is really striking, in a dark maroon hue that not only shines brilliantly but is laid out over a body that is largely blemish-free. That presentation extends to the interior, where the black vinyl deluxe bucket seats await a driver for one hell of a comfortable cruising experience. Options fitted to this '72 Nova include power steering, power brakes, front disc brakes, an aftermarket steering wheel, an updated Pioneer AM/FM/CD stereo system, vent windows, an aluminum radiator, and a great-sounding dual exhaust system. The car rides on some gleaming chrome American Racing wheels on top of some BF Goodrich "Advantage" T/A tires. This Nova runs and drives even better than it looks, which is really saying something considering this Chevy's attractive paint and stance. Trust us, this thing can't wait to get back onto the road to burn some rubber. All it is looking for is the right owner to give it an excuse to do so.
