In 1972, around 350,000 Novas left the Chevrolet factory. Only 12,000 of them had the famous Super Sport option. This amazing 1972 Chevrolet Nova SS is 1 of those 12,000. This particular Nova was found in a barn where it was left for 49 years. The car is all original and has only 8,000 miles on the clock.
Most of the cars that we feature on this site come with a story. Some of the stories are interesting and some aren’t. This particular car carries a story that is very sad. The original owner of this car bought the car back in late 1971. Not long after the purchase, the person who bought the car passed away in a motorcycle accident. The family didn’t know what to do with the car so they left it in a barn where it was stored until now. If you look at this car, you probably wouldn’t think that this car was abandoned for 49 years. Under the hood, this car has the famous L48 350 V8 engine which produced around 200 horsepower back in 1972. Except for a new master cylinder, new fuel pump, new exhaust system, and new belts and hoses, everything that this car features is original. The original Placer Gold paint cleaned up very nicely, and the car still shines as it did back in 1972. The car also features bucket seats, power steering, power brakes, and 4-speed manual transmission. There is also a lot of documentation with the car such as the 1972 owner’s manual, original sales invoice and financing agreement, dealer brochure, and the GM Protect-O-Plate.
Decent condition Novas can reach up to six figures these days and I think this Nova is one of those cars. From the condition to the mileage, this Nova is truly an amazing car.
So, do you think that this Nova is a six-figure car?
