Up for auction is this Amazing 1972 Chevrolet Nova Pro Street Built 402. Second Owner Nova purchased from a little old lady in 1988 and started the build in 1989. The elder lady could not drive anymore and her son's sold the Nova to a professional Jet pilot / A&P (Airframe and Powerplant) certified mechanic. Ongoing build for 25 years. Some of the features that set this Nova aside from the other Novas out there are that this build began with World renowned Tim Richards, Head Crew Chief of Joe Amato available for advice and ideas. The car started out as a cream puff driving donor. Absolutely no rust or rust repair. Never wrecked. Most Pro-Street builds do not start with such a nice example. The pilot had access to purchase lots of amazing NEW old school Made In America parts. In a nut shell this Nova is done correct, and professionally executed and this has been done by a true professional and done to a very nice car. This Nova Pro-Street is the nicest example that I have ever seen and is ready for a lucky person to take it to the next level and enjoy!
