Frank M’s 1972 Nova

Built From The Ground Up

Frank M’s 1972 Nova

Frank’s four door 1972 Nova is a nice driver restoration that he intends to enjoy.

The restoration and modifications have turned this once mild Nova into something one-of-a-kind in Frank’s eyes. He’s outfitted the Nova with a ’67 396 big block and all the supporting modifications that one would expect.

It is completely balanced with a steel crankshaft and 7/16th inch rod bolts, forged pistons, and a comp cam. Also installed are an Edelbrock intake, Holly 750 CFM carb, MSD ignition, and a Z/28 air cleaner amongst many other goodies.

“I would like to think it’s one of a kind”

Frank

The interior has also received a few upgrades to spruce up the car a bit. The shifter has been replaced with a Lokar unit to integrate with the TH400 transmission that Frank’s paired to the big block 396.

Overall this 1972 Nova sedan is one nice sleeper!
