Default 1972 SS Nova

Not a supercar but a great driver. Guy I bought my Monte from had this and offered it to me. Black/Black /350-4speed ss car with air. Have buildsheet. Was $2400 plus $1600 in options! Pretty nice driver. He put in a ZZ3 motor and rebuilt it to ZZ4 specs. Chambered exhaust. Never seen that on a Nova. Has added vintage heat/air. Nice tight car.

Chambered exhaust is great on the nova. We actually did that back in the very early 70's. Got everything from GM cheap in those days.
That is a nice nova. Worth having and fun I bet!

I will be running conventional dual exhaust with 2 1/2&quot; muffler outlets -- where can I get the tail pipes that dump behind the tire like on this beautiful Nova? Thanks ... TAZ [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif[/img]

I looked at the exhaust when I had it on the rack. Those are actually just chrome extensions held on with the 3 mounting screws, and pipe is angled, not straight cut.

Does the Nova have headers with the chambered exhaust, or manifolds? Dave Belk? Any relation to Dennis Belk of Iowa?
