Classic Car Overview
Up for sale is my beautiful 1972 Chevrolet Nova, powered by a professionally built and balanced 454 Big Block Chevrolet. This is an extremely clean, well-sorted muscle car thats been meticulously maintained, upgraded, and documented. It has a certified professional appraisal with a replacement value of $61,700 completed by Auto Appraisal Network, and it shows throughout.
Finished in stunning Show Quality Yellow with black striping, black vinyl top, and chrome Cragar wheels, this Nova has an incredible stance and commands attention everywhere it goes. The paint has been ceramic coated and presents exceptionally well. The body, chrome, trim, glass, and interior were all rated Excellent in the certified appraisal.
This isnt a thrown-together big block swap. Its a carefully built car with quality components throughout that starts easily, runs cool, drives straight, and delivers the unmistakable torque and sound only a healthy 454 can.
