Good luck finding another vehicle that will give you V8 powerand#44; rear-wheel driveand#44; documentationand#44; low milesand#44; and a ton of originality for less than this 1976 Chevy Nova Concours. Seriouslyand#44; if you want a nice entry-level hobby carand#44; this relatively rare Nova offers a ton of appeal and lots of potential. When was the last time you saw one of these? 1979? The concours was the Nova SSs cushy luxury-oriented brother and gets a few upscale touches like the padded roof and some extra chrome. It sure looks like its lived its life someplace warm because the bodywork is straight and its quite clean underneathand#44; and just about everything you can touch was installed back in 1976. Its not a big dollar carand#44; but someone has given it excellent care over the past four decadesand#44; and it really shows. Fit is quite goodand#44; with long doors that show even gaps and a trunk that latches with a gentle touchand#44; and you know that with original paint there are no scary secrets hiding underneath. Is it perfect? Noand#44; but its far better than most of its siblings at this pointand#44; and itll show up at events and everyone will reminisce about the one they used to own. In typical Chevy fashionand#44; this Concours received an ornate chrome grille and the requisite script badges and all the chrome is surprisingly well-preserved. The tan vinyl interior appears to be entirely original as welland#44; a further testament to how well-preserved and cared for this vehcile is. The front bench will look familiar to any GM fan of the periodand#44; and the Nova Concours borrowed its steering wheel from the more upscale Oldsmobile line to help with the luxurious look. The instrument panel is standard Novaand#44; which means a wide rectangular speedo and a fuel gaugeand#44; all wrapped in some faux woodgrainand#44; but theres also factory A/Cand#44; which is rather rareand#44; as well as an ancient AM/8-track radio that was cutting-edge tech in 1976. The back seat looks virtually untouched since 1976 and the carpets are in excellent shape with only very minor fading thats mostly covered by a set of rubber mats The trunk is sizable and solidand#44; still carrying what may very well be the original spare tire The original window sticker specifies a 305 cubic inch V8 under the hoodand#44; and thats whats there today. With good torque and a vast array of upgrade optionsand#44; theres just nothing like a small block Chevy in your mid-sized Nova. Its totally stock and very nicely detailedand#44; looking almost showroom fresh with bright Chevy Orange paint on the engine itself. The factory air cleaner inhales through a correct hoseand#44; a part thats always degradedand#44; and youll note that all the original A/C equipment is intact and fully functional thanks to an R134a refrigerant upgrade. A TH350 3-speed automatic links to a 2.73 gear set out backand#44; so it cruises easily on the highway and sounds suitably hushed through what might be the original exhaust system. Factory-issue wheels are a sporty take on the Rally and wear 205/75/14 whitewall radials. Documented with its original window stickerand#44; Protect-O-Plateand#44; owners manualand#44; registrationsand#44; and maintenance recordsand#44; this is a fantastic survivor that will wow crowds for not a lot of cash. As suchand#44; its worthy of respect. Give us a call today! |
