Fully Restored Nova 454, 45k Spent! Dream Ride! Just Finished

1972 Chevrolet Nova Description

Here is a special car up for sale. This 72 Nova was fully restored, frame off restoration just finished 2019 by a good friend of mine who I am selling the car for. Money spent on the car was well over 45k and I have most of the receipts. One look and you can clearly see no expense was cut! Most of the parts on this car were purchased brand new from Classic Industries or Summit Racing or if mechanical were fully rebuilt by local machine shops or mechanics. As you can see photos documenting the restoration were taken. The car has been driven only 1200 miles since rebuilt. Well, my friend had his thrill with the car but tends to move on to the next one quickly! Always been that way, so this is a great opportunity if you want to own a classic muscle car in tip top shape.
