Jesus M’s 1972 Nova

Built From The Ground Up

Jesus M’s 1972 Nova

Jesus has always dreamt of owning a Nova as a kid, so when this 1972 Nova came up he had to have it.

This one wasn’t perfect, essentially a project within his budget. It was not financially viable to buy a fully restored example at the time and restoring it with his children would also serve as a huge inspiration.

“This car is special because I always dream of having one when I was a child and seeing this car come together with the help of my boys I wouldn’t change that for the world”

Jesus

This 1972 Nova currently has a rebuilt 350 small block and TH350 combination with some basic modifications such as a mild cam and a bigger carburetor. Jesus would love to swap in an LS for more power and reliability in the future.
