This 1972 Chevrolet Nova has a bright look, proper V8 power, and the bright distinction of the Rally package. The first thing you notice on this coupe is the bright Ascot Blue paint. it looks quite lively thanks to a recent investment in refreshing the factory-correct color. It makes for a nice backdrop for the Rally Nova stripe package. It's a sporty piece that tapers as it runs the full length of the car, until it reaches the front fender in a sharp point. Plus, there are other nice details, like the rear panels decal and Rally Nova hood script. This was only a two-year package for this generation, and it gives the car added distinction beyond just the sporty stripes. This includes the blackout grille, color-matched sport mirrors (including passenger side,) and Rally wheels. Add in bright chrome bumpers, and this one has the proper look of an American muscle classic. The 305 cubic-inch V8 has a nice Edelbrock upgrade package with the bright air topper, four-barrel carburetor, and Performer RPM aluminum intake. The motor fires up nicely and makes a sweet tune from the dual exhaust. The TH350 three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and power brakes with discs up front makes this a fine cruising classic. The bright white exterior stripes go quite nicely with the parchment white interior. Having the seats and door panels looking so bright give this a premium feeling. The same goes for the desirable high-back bucket seats. By the way, this car has the A51 option, which means it was born with bucket seats. Having the carpeting, dash, steering wheel, and headliner looking nice in a contrasting (and practical) black gives this classic a very useful feeling. As you look over everything, there's a nice time capsule quality from the tidy trunk with full-size spare, to the AM radio that's still on display.
