Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is excited to present this 1972 Chevrolet Nova, finished in a bold red exterior over a black leather interior. This Nova combines the unmistakable styling of Chevrolet's early-1970s compact with an extensive collection of modern performance, suspension, electrical, and interior upgrades.
Under the hood is a Summit Racing 5.3-liter V8 equipped with a Stage 2 camshaft, 243 cylinder heads, shorty headers, and a full exhaust system with X-pipe and Speedy mufflers. Supporting equipment includes a Holley EFI fuel tank and an upgraded radiator with triple electric fans. Approximately 700 miles have been driven since the build.
Power is sent through a 4L60 automatic transmission with a performance-oriented drivetrain. Power steering makes the Nova easier to maneuver, while the suspension has been upgraded with tubular front control arms along with front and rear sway bars. New front disc brakes and rotors are joined by new rear wheel cylinders, and the car rides on new tires all around.
The electrical system has also received significant attention, including an American Autowire wiring harness, LED lighting throughout, and a battery relocated to the trunk. A Dakota Digital instrument cluster gives the driver updated instrumentation while maintaining a clean appearance inside the cabin.
The black interior has been completely redone while retaining the rear bench seat. Modern conveniences include Apple CarPlay, an eight-speaker audio system with a subwoofer, LED interior lighting, and air conditioning.
With its 5.3-liter V8, Stage 2 cam, 4L60 automatic transmission, upgraded suspension and brakes, Dakota Digital instrumentation, modern wiring, Apple CarPlay, and air conditioning, this 1972 Chevrolet Nova brings together classic styling and a substantial list of modern upgrades.
