Vehicle Detail
Completely Unmolested One Owner All Original Almost perfect interior I received this Chevy Nova last December from my Aunt's estate and received clear title recently. This vehicle was purchased new by my Aunt in 1972 from a Miami, FL Chevrolet dealer. She was the sole driver of this car for 40 years and kept it in perfect running order. She kept a box full of receipts of maintenance and repairs that had been done to the car over the years and I will list some of the relevant ones here. 1972 Chevrolet Nova Repairs Mileage Repair 47571 Water pump replaced 58228 A/C evaporator core replaced 68271 Muffler, tail pipe, upper ball joints, tie rod ends replaced 95945 Alternator replaced 99240 Starter replaced 101671 Carburetor replaced 103025 Lower ball joints replaced 104506 Radiator replaced 106019 Pitman arm, Idler arm, 4 shocks, sway bar bushings replaced 110083 A/C compressor, dryer, expansion valve replaced 110123 Brakes relined, 4 wheel cylinders replaced 121615 Battery replaced 121635 Master cylinder replaced 121635 Fuel pump replaced I installed a new battery, changed the oil and filter replaced the master cylinder, and the fuel pump and I have driven the car over 150 miles. The engine runs and sounds very good with no indication of oil usage. The transmission is quiet and the shifts are smooth and positive. I just don't need another car so will put it up for auction with a low starting price of $2000 there is no reserve so bid to own. You will be hard pressed to find another in this condition. The car has always been in Florida and garaged in fact the battery box area is the only location that I could find any rust on the whole car. I removed the seats and the floor mats to confirm the floor pan is in good condition and as you can see from the pictures the trunk area is also rust free. The headliner, door panels, the seats and the dash are in near perfect condition. In her later years my Aunt had some problems getting in and out of her single car garage as the pictures show the resulting scraps and dents. The damage to the right front of the car was caused by a bush and lamp post that refused to yield to her path. She decided to stop driving after this incident at the age of 92. The drivers door arm rest has some tears and the air conditioning center vents are broken. I hooked up an external antenna to the radio and it does work but the original antenna in the windshield does not. The heater core had been disconnected at some time in the past probably because of a leak. The air conditioner does not work as it is not charged. The compressor does run quietly and it does suck a vacuum when I hooked my gauges to it. A recharge will probably be all that is needed there. As far as I know the system has not been changed over to R134. The exterior paint is in poor condition mainly from a very unprofessional paint job that was done years back. Also a power steering hose broke and caused a small fire in the engine compartment at some time and this blistered some of the paint on the hood. I have tried to be as truthful as possible in describing the car but it is being sold "AS IS" I will not ship the car but will assist in loading. A $500 nonrefundable deposit is required within 48 hours of auction ending. (Prefer Pay Pal for deposit) Vehicle must be picked up within 7 days of auction ending or storage fees will apply subject to a previous agreement. Thank you for looking and happy bidding.
