1978 Chevrolet Nova Base Coupe 2-Door Description

I purchased this car in the spring of 2012, from a decorated war veteran. This Nova was the very first car for my 17 year old son, who drove it locally to high school. He was the third owner of the car. After moving away to college, I had hoped to restore it for him, but I have too many other cars and projects, so have decided to let this one go.

She sports a 305 cu.in. engine with a Holley intake and 4 bbl carburetor, automatic transmission, black interior and Keystone wheels. A good driver, this Nova is mechanically sound and runs great, but needs restoration, mostly body work. The expensive parts have already been purchased and are included with the car. (see "PARTS" list). I have done a lot of work on this car in the last several years (see "WORK" list), now it basically needs to be finished. This would make a great father-son project.
