Real Deal 1974 Nova SS! Throughout the 1970s, it was clear that the high-performance age of the '60s was coming to an end. The Chevrolet Nova, on the other hand, dared to be different by continuing to stick to the formula of offering relatively fast, attractive, and inexpensive cars. This 1974 Chevrolet Nova is a wonderful example of that formula, combining classic Nova style with a hot powertrain underneath the hood. Powered by a 350 C.I. Chevrolet V8 breathing through a 4-barrel carburetor, this '74 Nova is deceptively quick. Torque is put to the pavement through the use of a 3-speed automatic transmission, which allows for a smooth ride as it shifts seamlessly. The exterior white paint is a little rough around the edges in some places, but it still looks great laid out over this Nova's straight bodylines. The "NOVA SS" decals presented in two-tone gold and black look absolutely fantastic, and they definitely add to the sporty character of this car! The floors, frame, trunk and jambs are all in good shape, and all present well. Opening the doors reveals a good-looking black vinyl interior, complete with comfy bucket seats that are perfect for those long-distance drives. Options on this sweet Nova include power steering, power brakes, front disc brakes, dual-sport mirrors, the original gauge cluster with clock, center aux. gauges, a remote driver's mirror, an SS steering wheel, tinted windows, SS decals, an aftermarket Jensen AM/FM/Cassette stereo, a heater + defroster, and a mean-sounding Flowmaster dual exhaust system. The car rides on some stock-spec 14" Chevrolet rally wheels over B.F. Goodrich RWL tires for a sweet, period-correct look. This '74 Nova runs and drives wonderfully down the road, and it's ready for summer fun at the turn of a key.
