Description

FAA WATERCOLOR MARK DOES NOT APPEAR ON FINAL SALES
While attending a local weekly Classic Car Show in Franklin Square, New York, I came across this stunning 1972 Chevy Nova with a fantastic paint job and a great looking fiery paint job merging the yellow and purple colors of the car. The car had a great looking front hood with a raised header coming out from the engine and a very narrow wide horizontal front grill. Nice two door looking Chevy Nova which surely made this car a classic. For more information on this remarkable looking car please read the information listed below;
After 1971, other GM divisions began rebadging the Nova as their new entry-level vehicle, such as the Pontiac Ventura II (once a trim option for full-size Pontiacs to 1970), Oldsmobile Omega and the Buick Apollo. This was considered to build brand loyalty with respective GM divisions although the company later fused their badge engineering with platform sharing to cut expenditures. Interestingly, the initials of the four model names spelled out the acronym NOVA (Nova, Omega, Ventura, Apollo).
The 1972 Nova received only minor trim changes. The Rally Sport option with special suspension returned and was a rather popular choice, with 33,319 sold. Super Sport equipment went on 12,309 coupes, some of which also had the Rally package. Nova production moved to Norwood, Ohio, where it would be assembled alongside the Camaro. At mid-year a sunroof option became available on two-door models. Also, the optional Strato bucket seats available on coupes switched from the previous low-back design with adjustable headrests to the high back units with built-in headrests introduced the previous year on Camaros and Vegas. The Rally Sport option with special suspension returned and was a rather popular choice, with 33,319 sold. Despite the lack of change, Nova had its best sales season in years, with production of the 1972 models reaching 349,733. Of these, 139,769 had the six-cylinder engine.
