With a deadline of just 18 months, then Chevy designer Clare MacKichan and his team had no time for trial and error. The goal was to build a compact, affordable, high-selling car. MacKichan hit the nail on the head with the introduction of the Chevrolet Nova in 1962, making it one of the fastest-produced vehicles in GM's history. Of course, like all vehicles, the Nova evolved with each generation, making itself a real competitor in the muscle car segment with the third generation as featured here. The third-gen Nova is a favorite among those who like the adrenaline rush of the drag strip, and if you are one of them, you might already notice that this is exactly what said vehicle has been built for.
The third-generation Chevy Nova had a distinctive exterior design that was more aerodynamic and sportier than its predecessors. The car featured a long hood, short deck, and a fastback-style roofline that sloped down to a short rear deck, the tell-tale features of a muscle car at the time. This specific 1972 Chevrolet Nova can instantly be identified as a track-focused car, if not by the 671-blower peeking out of the hood, then by the reportedly new disproportionate tire setup and rear spoiler. The car is also reportedly equipped with disk brakes upfront while maintaining drums for the rear. Looking into the interior, it becomes very much more apparent that the previous owner of this Nova wasn't too keen on preserving its originality. Rather, what he saw fit was a racing roll cage protecting a set of bucket seats and a dash full of gauges to constantly keep feeding you information because that's what really matters when you're trying to complete a quarter mile unreasonably fast.
Not too much about the engine of this 1973 Chevrolet Nova has been revealed other than the fact that it is a 454 Big Block V8 engine with a new 671 blower and blower gasket that is mated to a three-speed standard manual transmission to produce 800hp.
