1978 Chevrolet Nova Reviews

i like the fact that is an old car and it runs good.  when i got it it needed very little work and its almost ready to run.  im stuck between the decision of fully restoring it or fully customizing it to make it my own,20in rims,custom paint job,454....etc.

the interior in the back(seats and floor) are almost perfect. the front seat need a little work, and the carpet totaly needs replacing,def will b using floor mats until that job gets done

it has a 250cu/in inline 6 engine and is very good on gas...it has a 21 gallon gas tank that takes less than $50 to fill...this is known as chevy's best engine..next is the 502 crate,which im working on getting as soon as i find a 2 door nova

The first car I bought when I got my license. I purchased it from my grandmother with 150K miles. It was a basic car, with only two options. A rear window defogger and a 305 V8 small block. From the factory the car had a 2 barrel carb, which I changed to a 4 barrel quadrajet. This car had rear leaf springs, and didn't handle very well however it was durable. When I sold the car it has 250K miles on it. Because of my driving habits it drank fuel. We all have fond memories of our first car, I loved this one.

Car is great. Right now its running on 7 cylinders instead on 8 because its got a busted cam but its still got a lot of balls since its a small block 305. Me and my old man are hoping to upgrade it to a 350 or a 454 in the near future and maybe even taking it to some drags after that. Always get "positive" comments about it.

Chevy 350 small block engine with Comp racing camshaft, headers and exhaust, air intake,
Hollay 4-barrel carb, racing slicks on the rear wheels, Hurst 4-speed transmission with
racing shifter, new master brake cylinder, sway bars (1.5 inch front, .75 inch rear), steering
stabilizer, and new shocks and bushings.

I Liked it because It was fast and a good overall driving experience!!!
