1971 CHEVROLET NOVA

OVERVIEW

This 1971 Chevrolet Nova two-door coupe has been driven fewer than 7,000 miles since a cosmetic and mechanical restoration. It is powered by a rebuilt, reportedly numbers-matching 307ci Turbo-Fire V8 mated to a period-correct four-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes Rally wheels, refinished brightwork, auxiliary gauges, and a dual exhaust system. Finished in LeMans Blue over a black vinyl interior, this third-generation Nova is now offered with service records, an owner’s manual, and a clear Mississippi title.
