Hello and good morning,

My buddy purchased a 1972 Nova at Barrett last week and it needs some TLC so I offered to buy in as the mechanic. I need a lesson on Nova VIN numbers and breaking down the cowl tag. Would someone be able to assist me please?

COWL TAG...

ST-72 A51 L 25334

Hello Tom -

So, for some really good Nova Info (for all years = & tag info) look over here :

you're looking at the far left column - and then select your "info" , you wish to look at :

NovaResource

This site will tell you a lot of stuff ; VIN number break - down ; cowl tags ; where & how too find your "rear axle codes" (unless , it's been changed - - then, you need to pull the rear cover,
too comfirm) .

I still use Novaresource , because I still learn things everyday , on there.

Oh - yes + Welcome to SNS , and very glad to have you posting here .

so, my question too you is : where you live (in general area) - - Why ? ; because we have many SNS members , all around (there could be several , living close to you .


Have fun . .

"stayed at a Motel 6 , before" .

Hahaha! Jim, the only reason Tom Bodette says "We'll leave the lights on for ya" is so the cockroaches don't come out! I've stayed in a few shady spots in my day... And made more mistakes than I care to recall... Humans.. lol, fallable creatures we are! But damn, Love our cars!!!!

Hello Tom and welcome to the site.

Welcome to the site! Got any pictures?

Welcome to the site @Tom Farnlof..! The Novasourse website has a lot of factory Nova/ChevyII production related information available for us but the site takes a little bit of figuring out how to navigate.. I figured out that it usually works best for me to go the “Site Map” link button which brings down a menu to all of the material on the site..

LOL, Looks familiar!

 

[Nova Thug]

It should..😁
That Site Map button is an important key to finding the information. It took me a while to figure out how to get back to information that I knew I had seen on the Novasourse site.. It’s a quirky little site..
