Now here's a fine representative of one its manufacturers' most coveted classic car offerings. This 1972 Chevrolet Nova SS Tribute wears a factory-correct Silver Pewter color that appears so distinctive that you'd likely believe it was custom-created. It features a fresh, vital condition, with tight, consistent gaps surrounding the doors, hood and deck lid. The front and rear bumpers are properly aligned and show no evidence of having run into any immovable objects, and it's badged to give a nod to its model's top-tier Super Sport configuration.
The factory-correct black vinyl interior is in downright impressive shape, with a pair of high-backed front buckets that straddle an aftermarket, drop-in center console and appear to have been installed not all that long ago, judging from their smooth, uncreased surfaces. Glance above you and you'll see a well-fitted headliner. Take a look below and you'll likely notice how well-preserved the carpeting is. Floor mounted manual shifters were a hallmark of classic Novas in Super Sport configuration, and the example here sits within easy reach of the driver, ready to take the transmission through its gears. The air conditioning system on this vintage Chevy blows strong and cold, but may need a little attention to get it back to top form and an AM/FM/CD stereo with an auxiliary port pairs with rear-deck mounted speakers to fill the cabin with sound.
It's not easy to find a classic from this era that can match this Chevy's rock-solid driving condition. Its 350-cubic-inch V8, equipped with a Quadrajet four-barrel carburetor, is in particularly good form, starting right up and offering smooth acceleration, and the 4-speed manual Saginaw transmission just behind it shifts through its gears while putting full control of the engine's output in the hands of the driver. Point this Nova down the road and it'll track straight ahead, and its feather-light power steering makes navigation a breeze. Power brakes that feature discs up front provide a level of dependable stopping ability that pairs nicely with frequent driving and, with an upgraded master cylinder in place, they're well positioned to perform properly for quite some time. The distributor cap was also recently replaced to allow the ignition system to perform at its best.
