1971 Chevrolet Nova review from North America
"high performance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The interior wasn't too bad to start with.
The car was garaged, and pretty much not driven much.
The only damage to the exterior was hail damage, which the body work on that was not done properly before I bought it.
As of now needs new brakes.
Needs new oil gaskets.
Also needs new alternator.
Lights wiring needs work.
Pretty much a tune up.
General comments?
I have enjoyed my nova throughout the years I've had it.
I love the way it handles, like a speed demon.
It doesn't break down as easily.
Yes, if you keep up with your oil changes, and tune-ups it is a great performance vehicle.
What chevrolet isn't?
