1977 Chevrolet Nova Concours review from North America

After just a few weeks I had to replace the universal joints in the car. Routine maintenance is a thing everyone has to do with a vehicle they own. This car is a very powerful car and I have had to replace the universal joints at least 4 times in the last 4 years. Two years ago I had to replace the starter. It gave me no warning as to when it was going out and it left me stranded. I also had the carburator replaced after the butterfly choke messed up. I had the timing chain replaced and the cam shaft replaced when it tore up on me once again about a year ago. Other than the normal wear and tear parts such as brakes, wipers, and lights these are the extent of the repairs I have had to make on the vehicle since I purchased it.

All in all I think this car has been one of the best cars I have ever owned. Equipped with the leather interior, chrome package, and the original rims it is still a beautiful GM product. I have had a head on collision in this car. A newer late model full sized Chevrolet truck made a turn in front of me. Needless to say that the truck was a total loss and my Concours was drivable to my home. The repairs were cheap on the car. I found the parts (hood, bumper, grille, finders, and windshield) at a nearby graveyard and done all the repair work myself. The cost of fixing my car after the collision was only about $200.00. This car has given me some trouble but considering when I purchased it everything down to the spark plugs were original. I plan to keep this car for the rest of my life and restore it to the original factory condition. I love this car and if I could ever find another four door Chevrolet Concours out there I will be sure to buy it. It is a fun car and once you get it all mechanically sound then you have a motor vehicle that is dependable and very fun to drive.
