1972 Chevrolet Nova With A 454 on 2040-cars
Senatobia, Mississippi, United States
|
Up for auction is a Really Nice 1972 Nova w/ 454. I’m listing this 1972 Nova for a friend of mine and it is a clean one. It is a very nice driver (not a trailer queen) and has limited flaws inside and out. I’ll reveal everything I see and will reply to any emails or phone messages as quickly as I can. This Nova is a very reliable & smooth running, I think you’ll be pleased with it and it’s priced very reasonably. Feel free to call 662-560-4609 and leave a message if I don’t pick up or drop me a note through Ebay. The owner has a Clear Title. I will start with the outside. First of all, I don’t see any rust on this car, underneath or on the outside. The car does have a few small paint chips but nothing large, and the owner has a small bottle of touch up paint. The doors close firmly and may be in need of a pin and/or a slight alignment to match up to the quarters (see pic). The rear quarters have been replaced. The paint color code is Radiant Red #756 (feel free to look it up in case the pictures may or may not show up correctly). It has a nice paint job, again not a showroom finish but very clean. The body is in good condition, straight and solid. The front lower valance (just below the grill) has a crack see pic). The glass is also clean (windshield, rear window and sides). The rear windows do roll down partially (the driver side rear window needs assistance on the way up) and the doors are equipped with Power Windows (they work great, the ignition doesn’t need to be on either to power up or down). The headlights are currently not working but will be (a horn was recently installed and I’m thinking they disconnected the headlights somehow), the parking lights, side lights, brake & turn signal lights all work. The reverse lights do not work (these will require a switch connected to the shifter). The wipers do work. The hood is set up with a forward tilt Corvette style mechanism and is easy to mange. The cowl hood is a nice touch, looks really sharp and has the only emblems on the car “454”. The owner does have the original hood, this will go with the car. Trunk pan and floor boards are clean (the trunk has a different style carpet in it, not the factory mat – see pic). I am not certain of the wheel manufacturer, but they 14” rims. The tires are P195/70R14 on the front (new) with a recent alignment, and P205/75R14. Spare tire in the trunk w/ matching rim. Now for the interior: Black interior and shows nicely but needs a little attention, nothing urgent and I’ll note those later. There is after market tach installed in the instrument cluster (right side of the speedometer). The gauges all work and there are 3 extra gauges mounted below (Volt, Oil Pressure and Water Temp). The dash pad is in good shape, a small tear on the driver side, down low. There’s a vent missing on the passenger side. The carpet, back seat, door panels, dash, rear deck sail panel are all in good condition. Headliner is new and the driver side sail panel needs replaced. Panasonic stereo/CD with 6” x 9” speakers. The front seat is in good shape but when you sit down you can see a seam that’s coming apart, may need to be re-sewn or recovered. Drive train consists of a 454 w/ Rocker Rollers and a mild cam. It starts easily and has a very nice thump to it. Very clean under the hood w/ several chrome components. Automatic Turbo 400 transmission & shifts hard. Some recently added items are new valve cover gaskets, alternator, transmission pan gasket & cooling lines to the radiator, B&M floor shifter, new 3.45 ratio rear-end, anti-sway bars (front & rear, all chrome) and modified suspension, new fuel tank, 4 wheel manual disk brakes w/ front hoses from calipers to frame rails. The Nova also has headers w/ dual 2 1/2 inch exhaust with flow masters, all in great condition (the headers could use a new coating). The car really sounds nice. Chrome drive line and lower control arms. Battery is mounted in the trunk and has a quick disconnect lever. This is a very nice Nova and a reliable driver. While there are a few things missing or needing attention, they are small and won’t keep you from getting in it and driving off. I have driven it and it runs strong and drives nicely. The current owner has had this car for over a year, made some nice improvements and is ready to move onto another project. We do not know the specifics on the engine but I can tell you it sounds good and runs well. This is a non-A/C & non-power steering car. Again, give me a call @ 662-560-4609 or send me Ebay emails and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. The owner does have this car for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction if the reserve hasn’t been met. This is priced to sell compared to other Nova’s I’ve seen, so I believe you will be pleased with this one. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding. On May-08-14 at 20:13:01 PDT, seller added the following information: OK, I heard from 3 Nova experts advising that even though this is a 1972 Nova front end, doors, VIN & title, the rear body of the car is a '73 / '74 series. If you compare the rear side windows between the '72 & others, you can see a distinct shape. Apparently this body swap is somewhat common and doesn't take away from the car and that it's a very nice driver. So thanks to the 3 Nova experts, however I wanted to disclose this and not hide anything about the car. My picture of the Nova with the hood up didn't load, so I'll be happy to send via email. Thanks again for looking and call with any questions. |

Editors' Picks August 2021 | Honda Civic, Mercedes S-Class and more
Thu, Sep 9 2021This month of Editors' Picks saw us award the honor to a couple of redesigned stalwarts like the Honda Civic and Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Plus, a new crossover that splits the difference between the compact and subcompact class takes home the prize. On top of this, we'll introduce you to a new term: midcompact. We'll be using this to describe those in-between crossovers that are a tad too small to be considered compact, but too large to neatly fit into the subcompact class. For a few examples of these "midcompact" cars, we'll point you to the Ford Bronco Sport, Kia Seltos and VW Seltos. In case you missed our previous Editors' Picks posts, here’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get EditorsÂ’ Pick status. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in August that earned an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2021 Genesis G70 2022 Genesis G70 View 26 Photos Quick take: Genesis hits all the right buttons with its G70. It's attractive, fun to drive and can be had for a fair price. Enthusiasts should give it a shot before taking home one of its German competitors. Score: 8 What it competes with: Alfa Romeo Giulia, Lexus IS, Acura TLX, Infiniti Q50, Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Cadillac CT4, Volvo S60 Pros: Sharp handler, stunning exterior looks, strong engines Cons: Average interior, loses manual option, small backseat and trunk From the editors: News Editor Joel Stocksdale — "I was already a big fan of the Genesis G70. It has brilliant handling, and the twin-turbo V6 is a beast. It's even a bargain against the competition. And Genesis just made it look a lot better. I wish they'd done a bit more to update the interior, but it's still not a bad cabin. Besides, you won't think too much about it when you're hustling down a fun back road." Features Editor James Riswick — "Yes, it is small, but in a sport sedan segment where "sport" means increasingly less, the G70 still delivers (in part because of that smallness).
2016 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon recalled for opening console lids
Mon, Dec 28 2015The Basics: General Motors is recalling 9,200 examples of the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado with build dates between August 25, 2015 and September 24, 2015, and the 2016 GMC Canyon manufactured from August 28, 2015 to September 24, 2015. In total, 8,763 of these pickups are in the US, and the rest are in Canada or Mexico. The Problem: The console compartment lid could open in a crash, and the items inside the storage compartment might hit occupants during the accident. This fault puts the pickups out of compliance with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The fix: Dealers will replace the console compartment door latch assembly with an improved part. If you own one: GM has not yet told NHTSA when the repairs for these pickups begin. Related Video: RECALL Subject : Console Door may not Fully Latch/FMVSS 201 Report Receipt Date: DEC 01, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V807000 Component(s): LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES Potential Number of Units Affected: 8,763 All Products Associated with this Recall Vehicle MakeModelModel Year(s) CHEVROLET COLORADO 2016 GMC CANYON 2016 Details Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2016 Chevrolet Colorado trucks manufactured August 25, 2015 to September 24, 2015, and GMC Canyon trucks manufactured August 28, 2015 to September 24, 2015. The affected vehicles have a console compartment lid latch assembly that may fail to keep the compartment door closed in the event of a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 201, "Occupant Protection in Interior Impact." CONSEQUENCE: If the console compartment door does not remain closed in a crash, the contents stored in the console may strike the vehicle occupants, increasing their risk of injury. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the console compartment door latch assembly, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is 16370. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
Was the C7 Corvette cut from Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show?
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Someone was bound to receive a free 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray during the Super Bowl XLVII festivities; it just wasn't who we thought it was going to be. Despite a report back in December that superstar Beyoncé Knowles would be getting an all-new Corvette during her halftime performance, that turned out not to be the case. Joe Flacco, starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, did in fact win a Corvette for his MVP performance.
So what transpired that prevented Beyoncé from rolling on stage in the new Chevrolet? Anyone who knows isn't telling, but according to Yahoo! Autos, General Motors said that for one reason or another a deal "did not work out," and it appears to have been an eleventh-hour change. Regardless of who's to blame or what prevented this from happening, we're sure Chevy has had no problems getting attention for the C7 Corvette since it was introduced last month.
