1972 Chevrolet Nova

Let me start by saying that I . like many of you. have several of projects that are in different stages of completion. This is one of them.  

 This 72 Nova is an original California Car. It has spent all its life in California. It was born in sunny Van Nuys. California.  This is car # 15. 29 Nova that GM put out of the Van Nuys plant. The vehicle made its way to Modesto. Ca. when it fell into my hands in early 2000.  

With that said. This is one bad mama Jama!!! .  

 It originally came with a 6 Cylinder that was very cool. for my Grandma. But not for me lol 

 So. I went and found a V8 GM 305 from an old Camaro. I rebuilt it about ten years ago. I got a 5 speed Transmission and rebuilt that 10 years ago. I threw out the bench seat and from that same Camaro I took the bucket seats.

 I made all the usual adjustments. The engine mounts. transmission mounts drive line. Since the car was already a stick shift. There was very little adjustment to the transmission linkage. I painted the car black and let it sit at my mom's house while I started my new career.  I almost forgot. I paid Modesto electric like 1. 00 dollars to put in new wiring too.  

Well!! 15 years later BAM!! I get the car back from my mom's house. she pretty much told me to get the car out. LOL .  

I took the engine out along with the transmission. I went through the engine with a fine comb. I bought a new Holley carb and blew out the lines. I also went through the transmission and serviced it inside and out. I also replaced the U-joints and the water pump. alternator. and fuel pump. The belts were also replaced.  I also replaced the clutch. pressure plate and throw-out bearing.  I serviced the rear end and serviced all the brake system. I only adjusted the brakes they work fine. I found hooker headers and painted those with some POR-15. Although I don't think that paint held up. It also has an electronic ignition.  

I got some seats from a newer Camaro SS leather and power. I adapted them to the car and I think they look freaking awesome. I took the interior apart so I can redo it. But most of it is there. I placed a cheesy carpet and everything else is pretty much stock inside. I peeled the back seats to get new ones.  

The exterior of the car.  I worked the whole car out the little rust that it had. I had Motown Brothers from Modesto. Ca. work on the body. I used a silver Shop line and I used an Old House of Color Kandy clear that I had laying around. in other words. One of the best clears in the market. I also shaved the parking lights. I think it looks better.  The top was not painted to prep for the vinyl top.  

 OK. so now why I want to sell it.

At this point I'm where someone can put their own twist to the car. I was going to go with the vinyl top SS trim and SS interior. I was going to black out the windows and black out the Iroc rims and bumpers. Then I thought. I have 5 other projects. I think my kid's college is coming soon and I have all this money just sitting here.

 I guess I don't have to sell it. I can finish it and sell it then for much more. I think this is would be a perfect father son project. I have decided to sell it as is and if it doesn't sale for what I want I'll just keep working on it until I'm finished. It needs the windshields and the back glass too.  

 I have the bumpers and tail lights with some SS stuff. I also have the door handles and the key holes for the doors and trunk. The car comes with a clean tittle. If I can find it. The car is registered and current. I can and will include a bill of ale.   I can assist with the scheduling the shipping.

 I just need 500 Dollars deposit within 48 hours and the rest in cashiers check or money order or cash.  Thanks. if you have any questions let me know.  I also have the car for sale locally.  

Oh yeah. no scammers please. I'm way to busy to entertain you.
