Robin S’ 1972 Nova

Built From The Ground Up

Robin S’ 1972 Nova

Robin and her husband were at a car show with their old truck (1954 Chevy) and a lady started talking to her asking her what car she would want if she could have any car. She said a 1972 Nova because that’s what we had when we started dating back in the early 70’s.

That lady talked for a while and then said I might be able to help you out. She said we have one in our barn that we might sell! They went to look at the Nova that night after the show and bought it! The lady was the second owner and she had owned it for 30 years. It’s now Robin’s show ride and she loves to drive it.

It has a 350 built to LT-1 specs, a Turbo350 trans and a 3:73 rear. The Nova has a nice rumble with the cam and Flowmaster mufflers. The color is Golden Brown Poly, which is pretty rare. The paint is 30 years old but doesn’t look it! Lady owned now for over 35+ years between the second owner and Robin!

Robin would like like to do a few more things. Like QA-1’s coilovers, and they might tone the cam and carburetion down a little make it a little more road friendly. Oh, and some Vintage Air to make it a little more comfortable, that would be nice! 

"It's been great shopping with SS396!"
