1973 Chevy Nova Custom Hatchback 383 Stroker Gorgeous Car Please Look on 2040-cars
Plymouth, Connecticut, United States
Hello! I would love to talk to you before you click the
Buy-it-Now so please message me with a
phone number first. I want to be sure you know what you are getting and are
serious about your offer. You should want to talk to me or any other seller
before bidding and making offers. Lowball offers will automatically be rejected
so please don't waste your time. The price is my bottom dollar and represents a
large loss to me. This car is listed locally and could sell at any minute and
the auction will be removed so please let me know if you have interest. Up for sale today is my beautiful and rare 1973 Chevrolet
Nova Custom Hatchback. The Custom package was an expensive option which
outfitted the car with lots of extra chrome and stainless trim which really
sets it apart from other Novas. This trim package has been combined with the
deluxe window trim package on this car making it pretty rare! Notice in the
brochure photos for the Nova Custom that neither car has the deluxe window
trim. The hatchback allows you to fold the back seat down and carry the
surfboard you love or surf your lover when you get stiff as a board! A full six
feet of length back there! The hatchback is also the STRONGEST Nova body ever
made and is often selected for a drag car because it can handle huge power
without twisting. This is a beautiful rust free car that runs and drives very
well and is ready to enjoy today. I was told that the car had only 22,000
original miles on it and I laughed – until I took a long hard look at the car
and it actually seems believable. I know
a lot of guys aren't confident enough in their manhood to drive a purple car but
as the owner of a purple pro street pickup I can tell you that a lot of people
love purple. Especially the ladies! So you should consider taking a walk on
this wild side..... Before I further describe the car, I want to be clear about
a few things: THIS IS NOT A DISTRESS SALE. I can afford to keep this car
indefinitely. I have run out of room so I have to let some cars go. I have no emotional attachment to this one so it is one of the first I will try to sell and it will not break my heart if I keep it. I may be
willing to let someone pay me over a short period of time (3 months MAX), no
interest, but I own 100% of the car and paperwork until it is 100% paid for.
And you will have to convince me you aren’t going to be a problem before I will
do this. I find that about 80% of sellers of vintage cars on eBay are
re-sellers. Ask yourself, is someone who needs to make money on a car to feed
their family going to disclose everything about the cars they sell? And if you
find a seller who "needs money" is he or she going to be completely
honest? Be very, very careful of those vehicles with short descriptions and/or a few bad pictures.....
Which is most of them. People lie.... And sell here because they hope to snag a
buyer who can't see the car in person.... I am going to fully disclose what I
know about this car, even if it is at my own peril. I am not interested in ANY trades of ANY kind. Sorry, my
garage is overflowing already. Anyone who tries to scam me or hurt me will find
out what their genitals taste like. Be decent to me and we will get along fine.
I am not a kid and I am not an old geezer. I have a family and a full time job
so please be respectful that my time is limited. This car was bought new by an older woman (Doris) in 1973.
It was originally red. She took excellent care of it and drove it less than
10,000 miles! (I do not have proof) It has always been garaged and seldom
driven. She sold it to an older man (Elvin) in 1988 who also cherished and
preserved the car. In 2010 it was bought by the third owner (John) and he spent
$5000 on very high quality custom paint (color, color sand, clear, sand, buff)
and nearly $8000 on the engine and the transmission. (he pulled the wheezing
original 307 out of the car -who could blame him) Plus he spent another $3K on
the interior. Plus new 1972 bumpers to get rid of the "bumper car"
look of the originals. It gives the car a very nice, subtle custom touch. He
did very well at local car shows with this car. I do not consider the body and
paint to be true "show quality" as those paintjobs cost two to three
times as much but this car is good enough to show at any local or regional
show. The car then ended up getting traded in on a min van (holy
cow!) in late 2013 at a dealer lot and got bounced to another dealer and became
filthy and forlorn over the course of 2 months. I was traveling for business,
saw it, and took pity on it and brought it home. I became the 4th true owner
when I picked it up in December 2013. I love this little car but I cannot keep
it because I am out of room. This is a beautiful rust free car with a rebuilt performance
383 stroker 4-bolt main engine and a NEW Turbo 350 transmission (still has the
tag with the bar code – see photo). The engine has new aluminum Edelbrock tall
valve covers, performer intake, and a very big Edelbrock carburetor with a
massive aluminum Edelbrock air cleaner that rises into the functional cowl
induction hood. The transmission has a shift kit and shifts nice and firm. The
black interior is nearly perfect – unbelievable condition and miles and miles
above your average Nova (the pictures do not do it justice). Even the dash pad is gorgeous! The original carpet is
excellent and is protected by thick carpeted mats front and rear. There is a
custom console on the floor with gages that all work and cup holders and a
place for the underlighting controller and stereo remote. ALL of these gages
work, great oil pressure, it never gets hot, and great voltage from the
charging system. The best part of all about this car is it has lovely Bones. This car has all original floors, rockers, and body panels and is 100% rust free. There are NO patches or repairs and it isn’t all covered up with undercoating so nothing is hidden. This really sets this car apart from the rest. I haven’t seen a ’73 Nova this solid since the late 1970’s. Everyone wants a California car – I’ve seen many Novas from CA and the rest of the west not as solid as this car. Even the “smugglers” compartment under the hatchback floor is rock solid and still has the original “space saver” spare tire but no air canister to pump it up. This is an extraordinary car. It was in Pennsylvania since new, what does that tell you? It should tell you that it was pampered. I just put BRAND NEW lightweight polished aluminum American
Torq Thrust wheels and brand new performance tires ($1500) on this car because
I had planned to keep it. It has air shocks in the rear so you can adjust the
ride height to your liking. It has a nice Sony tuner with a CD and MP3 player
input and a remote control with speakers added to the doors – it sounds nice
but is a low-end system. The paint is very high quality (color, color sand, clear, color sand, buff) with a few small chips
and scratches touched up that you would have to go looking for to find. Close
to $20,000 was spent restoring and hot-rodding this one. The car also has a
nice functional STEEL 2” cowl induction hood. All of the glass is excellent except for a few gouges in the
rear window – it actually looks more like some kind of glue on top of the glass
but I could not remove it. All of the trim is in very good to near mint
condition which is honestly just amazing to me. The engine runs beautifully and
has the best sound of any muscle car I have owned and I have owned at least 50
of them. This is thanks to headers and full Flowmaster exhaust with big shotgun
chrome tips so it is not loud in the car. I tell you, if you hear it you might
cream your jeans if you are a car guy (or girl!).... The car is wonderful to drive, very fast, smooth, and tight. I
would not hesitate to get in it and drive to California tomorrow. The most
amazing thing about this Nova is EVERYTHING WORKS. Here is a list of WHAT WORKS
on this car. I challenge you to compare this list to ANY OTHER vintage car you
are considering: Headlights - high and low beam; ALL parking lights including
the side markers; brake lights; turn signals; 4 way flashers; back up lights
(Yes, Really); interior light; all dash lights; all idiot lights; all gages;
tachometer; horn; wipers, heater; stereo; emergency or parking brake; seat belt
light; glovebox light; fuel gage; and the original keys open and lock
everything. The hood and hatch both close with a gentle click. Amazing
stuff if you have been around other 40+ year old cars. It also has purple LED
underlighting which works perfectly but can easily be removed or just not
turned on if that is not your style. You can’t see the light tubes unless you
crawl under the car. The car is registered in CT in my name so no inspections of
any kind are required to register it in CT. Just take the registration stub to
DMV and walk out with plates. I also have the PA title signed over to me if you
need this for outside of CT. The state of CT does not issue titles for vehicles
made prior to 1981 so I do not have one in my name from CT. ALL STATES are
required BY FEDERAL LAW to allow registration of a vehicle without a title from
a non-title state provided there is a registration from that state. Anyone who
tells you differently is WRONG. This is a promise. I will gladly fill out any
paperwork that your state requires. I do not have time
for tire kickers, chat pals or lookey-loos but I will gladly show anyone the
car BEFORE they click buy-it-now. I would prefer it if at all possible. Any
inspection BEFORE an offer is welcome. This car is well
worth what I am asking – I have priced it to sell quickly and at a loss to me. This
is a car for a person who wants to drive something different and be surrounded
by admirers at every stop. Classic car ownership is very cheap. Here in Connecticut,
fixed costs per year are $40 for early American plates; around $20 for taxes
($500 tax assessment is MANDATORY); and Hagerty Classic Auto Insurance is
around $120 a year for FULL coverage. So for about $200 (about $0.60 a day!)
you can enjoy making the coolest sound ever made by a vehicle while taking your
girl (or guy!) out for ice cream all summer long. And get more smiles per mile
than a new Corvette. I don’t understand why everyone doesn’t own a classic car
– I own a bunch and if my garage were bigger I’d keep this one! Classic cars are a great investment. According to Knight Frank's Wealth Report, collectible cars were the top-performing collectible asset with prices surging 23-percent in the 12-months ending in the third quarter of 2012, and posting gains of 395-percent over 10-years. FOR INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: The car is located about 100 miles from New York and New Jersey shipping ports. I would estimate it would cost around $500 to get the car down there. You will have to handle the broker and pay for everything of course. View my feedback and buy with confidence. Send me your phone number and I will gladly ask any questions that you may have. I sincerely want the buyer to be happy with this car. If you plan to ship the car I will do my best to hand the car off to the shipper and take condition pictures as it goes on the truck in case something happens. Thank you for your time. |

2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray order guide hits the web
Mon, 15 Apr 2013The official debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is only part of the excitement for fans of Chevy's virtuoso sportscar. Although we got to see the car and some of its preliminary specs in Detroit and Geneva, there is still no word on pricing and some of the juicier data points we've been waiting for - such as confirmed power output, EPA estimated mileage figures and performance numbers. Until then, CorvetteBlogger has gotten its hands on the order guide for the coupe version of the car - in both base and Z51 iterations - revealing tidbits like standard and optional features and available color combinations.
Some other new details made it onto the order guide, such as our first interior specs for the coupe including slightly less hip room and headroom, more shoulder room and the same amount of legroom. To see the full order guide, head on over to CorvetteBlogger. From what we can gather, it sounds like more information will be revealed on April 25 during a party at the Corvette Museum, and for those sun worshipers patiently waiting for a convertible, it would appear you've got another model year to wait through.
GM takes heat for aborted Silverado riff on 'Boston Strong' at World Series
Thu, 31 Oct 2013During game five of the World Series, Chevrolet was set to do a spot of marketing for the 2014 Silverado - fans at Busch Stadium in St. Louis would hold up placards that spelled out the words "Silverado Strong," a theme that Chevy has been promoting since the Silverado's launch with the song "Strong," by Will Hoge. The St. Louis promo was ultimately called off, though, over concerns that it'd be insensitive to the visiting Boston Red Sox. (You can see the image of what the stunt would have looked like above, courtesy of one timely Reddit user.)
Now, the Busch Stadium stunt might not have been a big deal, had the St. Louis Cardinals not been playing the Boston Red Sox. Following the tragic events in Boston during the marathon back in April, the phrase "Boston Strong" gained traction among the city's citizens, especially at sporting events. So, you can imagine that Chevy's appropriation of the phrase might not sit well with some fans.
The stunt was ultimately shelved after images of the signs went viral before the game, leading to a bit of a public backlash. Chevy spokesperson Michael Albano said of the promo that it was meant to show the brand's "commitment to baseball and its fans." But after the images went viral, the company "realized there was the possibility that we may offend some of the very fans we were trying to honor," Albano told Automotive News via email.
