1975 Chevrolet Nova 4 door sedan review from North America
"An inexpensive family style muscle car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The battery and alternator quit at 58,000 miles.
The battery cables had to be replaced at 59,000 miles.
The heater core was rusted out when I bought the car.
The window washer pump never worked until recently.
Rust was starting to appear in some places.
General comments?
This car was surprisingly quick for having a smaller engine, due to the low weight of the car itself.
The car handles excellent, considering its larger size.
The bench seats were very comfortable, except in summer with no air conditioning.
