1972 Chevrolet Nova Rally review from North America
"A true american classic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Nova is and was the car you purchased if you could not afford any other vehicle in 72, and it was still built to be durable. The tranny was done in 95 and other than anal retentive maintenance, nothing major is even on the way out. I rerouted the cooling lines at the block and that's about it.
General comments?
I love my Nova. To sit in it is like experiencing a simpler time and technology. Simple is better. The great thing about this car is that it will probably outlive me. 200 horsepower right out of the factory for a fairly light car like the Nova these days would cost $50ooo.
I LOVE MY NOVA.
