Overview of 1972 Chevrolet Nova For Sale by Owner

This 1972 Chevrolet Nova is tough to beat, with aggressive performance and an interior that not only looks great but is also very comfortable. 1972 was the last year of the pre-facelift third-generation Nova, keeping the regular performance and aggressive style before the federal safety and emissions standards of 1973 came into effect. This makes the Nova easy to upgrade, tune, and squeeze as much power out of as possible. This particular example is a result of a daring speed freak. It comes to our inventory with just 754 miles on its clock thanks to its recent modifications.

Exterior and Interior

The third-generation Chevrolet Nova was based on a longer 111-inch chassis giving it more presence compared to its predecessor. The edgy square-like design further enhances this look and evokes nostalgic feelings of '70s American Muscle culture. The dual exhausts at the back poke out like cannons while subtle things like flush mount door handles make this example special. The car is finished in a glistening blue paint job and it sits on a set of custom 18-inch alloy wheels in black that are wrapped in new Toyo Proxy tires. Behind the alloys are red Willwood brakes with braided lines that connect to customized front and rear suspension configurations. As you step in you are greeted by black leather bucket seats, which are power adjustable. The Hurst gear shifter is a welcome feature for performance aficionados while the custom dash is primed for keeping track of the car's vitals. The interior still holds its classic look while being brought to the 21st century with amenities such as power windows, air conditioning, and a custom stereo and sound system.

Engine

Under the cowl hood on this hot rod is a supercharged 6.2L LS3 V8 engine, which on its own makes north of 400 horsepower. A Whipple supercharger and LS6 Mutha Thumper camshaft ups the horsepower to a whopping 750 horsepower. All this power is transferred to the rear wheels through a 6-speed Tremec manual transmission. All these power train modifications make for a mind-numbingly fast machine that stands out in any crowd.

Current Ask
$42,500

This 1972 Chevrolet Nova is the kind of classic that proves you do not need stripes, spoilers, or a big-block badge to have genuine muscle-era appeal. Showing approximately 53,285 miles, it pairs a 307ci V8 with a 2-barrel carburetor and 2-speed Powerglide automatic, giving it the easygoing, torque-rich feel of a traditional small-block Chevy cruiser. The custom orange finish gives the car plenty of presence, while Rally-style wheels, factory air conditioning, power steering, and power brakes make the package feel especially usable. It is a clean, straightforward Nova built around the formula enthusiasts still appreciate today: V8 power, rear-wheel drive, simple mechanicals, and unmistakable early-1970s Chevrolet styling.

1976 Chevrolet Nova Concours

Current Ask
$25,500

The 1976 Chevrolet Nova Concours Coupe represents the more refined side of Chevrolet’s compact lineup, and this example stands out even further thanks to its rare Concours package and remarkably low 20,299 miles. Finished in Antique White over a Dark Firethorn interior, it pairs a 350ci V8 with a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. The Concours treatment brought a much more upscale character to the Nova, with a Dark Firethorn vinyl roof, woodgrain interior trim, additional brightwork, and a comfort-focused cabin that separated it from more basic examples. The seller also reports that the interior still smells like new, a detail that speaks to just how unusually preserved the cabin feels. With its low mileage, rare Concours specification, V8 power, and distinctively 1970s luxury-oriented presentation, this Nova offers a particularly interesting blend of originality, comfort, and classic Chevrolet character.

1964 Chevrolet El Camino Restomod

Current Ask
$39,700

The El Camino has always lived in its own lane—part muscle car, part pickup, and all attitude—and this 1964 Chevrolet El Camino Restomod leans hard into the performance side of that equation. Showing approximately 538 miles, it wears a custom Burgundy finish over a Black Procar interior and packs a 383ci stroker V8 backed by a TH400 3-speed automatic. This isn’t a lightly updated cruiser; the build reaches into the engine bay, suspension, braking system, cabin, and supporting hardware to give the first-year El Camino a much sharper, more modern personality while keeping the long-roofline-meets-pickup-bed silhouette that made these cars so memorable in the first place.
