Car is one of the few Novas which were delivered to Switzerland in 1972. Frame off resto 5 years ago. Engine rebuilt w/ stroker kit in 2007, less that 1500 mls. Whole car has about 60k mls (documented) and is laser straight and firm, and has never been abused or been in an accident.

I bought the car with a trailer load full of spare parts, for example I do have a 2nd hood in the original color without the scoop. The black one in the pics has a little underneath rust which will be taken care of soon.

The Nova is not used as, but has the qualities of a daily driver. Oh, and she's fast as hell. A stock Porsche 911 doesn't stand a chance at the light, as long as it's not a turbo... Tried that one out already...! :cool:

Hope you like my car.

Hello Ozzy,
Great looking car. I also have an orange '72 but yours looks much nicer. Is that color code 65 "orange flame"? Mine is, but the '72 paint job is getting pretty tired after 36 years. Someday I will repaint it... I also chose black for my wheels.
Nice job on the interior. It looks like you re-did the back seat to match the front ones. I like the flame floor mats too.
My 250 would never keep up with your 383, but I drive it daily so I have to save a little gas. I guess I won't be outrunning any Porsche 911s. It's good to see the Chevy Nova so well represented in your country:chev:

Welcome to the forum! I love to see the Novas all over the world. Also, I like the black steel wheels with chrome lugs, but I guess I'm just that kind of guy. :D
