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. |

Chevrolet Camaros at SEMA are a mobile accessory catalog
Wed, 06 Nov 2013Chevy's goal at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas this week seems to be to show as much of its Performance and Accessories catalog as possible. That's why it brought three different Camaros - two with V8s and one powered by a V6 - with all of the best goodies from the catalog already fitted.
We gave a more in-depth recap of the Performance Camaro V8 Concept, the Performance Camaro V6 Concept and the Performance Garage Concept already, but we figured you'd like a short recap for each. It should be noted, though, that you can order all of the items you see here for your own Camaro, so be sure to take a long, hard look at our live galleries, just in case you're in the market for some mods.
Essentially, the Performance Garage Concept and the Performance V8 Concept are the same car - the only difference is that the later features a whole host of aesthetic tweaks in addition to its aftermarket, shorty exhaust headers and 2.75-inch exhaust. (The Performance Garage Concept has been usefully placed on its side; the better to see the new parts added to the vehicle.) The Performance V6 Concept is notable because, despite being a V6, there's no shortage of performance goodies fitted. All three of the Performance Camaros benefit from items from the Camaro ZL1, which can also be ordered through the catalog.
GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
Chevy Sonic shreds like a skateboard
Tue, 19 Mar 2013Despite the fact that the 2013 Chevy Sonic is a fun, plucky little thing - especially in ever-so-slightly hotter RS guise - it is not, in fact, a skateboard. But don't tell that to rapper Theophilus London.
In General Motors' latest spot for the Chevrolet compact, London needs to make a quick run to the store for some milk. And even though, once again, the Sonic is not a skateboard, it ollies, pops and gets air because, you know, it's just so much fun to throw around.
If this video looks familiar to you, it's because this is the full ad that we first got a preview of in Chevy's longer, full-line spot, where the brand's "Find New Roads" tagline was introduced. Scroll down to see this dedicated Sonic spot, along with the older ad, and remember, the Sonic is still - still - not a skateboard.
