– Chevrolet introduced the Rally option to its Nova range in 1971, but it only remained on showroom floors for two years. There have been no other changes beyond the price, and I must say a big thank you to Barn Finder Pat L. Considering all it offers, that price is looking more tempting. It is listed here on Craigslist with a further reduction to $17,500. They slashed the price to $19,500 but still had no joy. They initially offered it for $23,500, with no success. They have listed the classic for a third time following a dramatic price drop. It seems the owner of this 1977 Chevrolet Nova Rally has that trait in abundance. The interior is very red, so you’re going to have be OK with seating surfaces, headliner, dash, and door panels all wearing the same shade of crimson.UPDATE – If there’s one attribute I genuinely admire in a person, it is determination. The Nova comes with power steering, power brakes, air conditioning, and a premium radio. Of course, with a preserved example like this, very few details aren’t correct, including the chrome bumpers, sharp paint, clear glass, and landau-style roof that shows no signs of breaking down and falling off in pieces. The Nova has a great stance, with a slightly raked appearance right from the factory. It seems quite likely this example belonged to the proverbial little old lady. The seller doesn’t provide any context for how the mileage has remained so low, or what sort of maintenance it’s received in its years of being a little-used specimen. Still, for this car here, you’d just want to cruise in it anyway and avoid the sorts of hijinks that might cause the Nova to make unwanted contact with another vehicle or a lamp post. Not exactly a world beater, this engine, and while it may provide respectable acceleration, it definitely put high performance on the back burner. The Nova seen here comes equipped with the 305 V8 featuring a two-barrel carburetor.
77 CHEVY NOVA FOR SALE FULL
The Nova seen here left the factory with rosewood vinyl trim, an upright hood ornament, bumpers guards, and full wheel covers, among other high-end touches, all to give the compact Chevy a shot at competing with the likes of other high-zoot models from Chrysler and Ford. The automotive landscape wasn’t exactly rosy at this juncture, as manufacturers pulled back from high performance models in favor of fuel efficiency and a sense of perceived luxury. Of course, the trouble with survivors like this is that while they deserve a fair price for having somehow escaped the fate that befell most vehicles in this price category, there’s a limited pool of buyers who want to pony up to own the best Nova available from 1977. Clearly, someone wanted to protect their investment, and it’s currently bid to $7,800 with the reserve unmet and located in Morgantown, Pennsylvania. This model is the upper-crust Concours edition, which was the fanciest Nova one could buy in 1977.
This 1977 Chevrolet Nova is one such example, as most of them by now have either been scrapped or hot-rodded to death, so finding one with under 30,000 original miles and cleanly presented here on eBay is hard to ignore. While low mileage survivors always get our attention, it tends to get particularly triggered when it’s a car you simply don’t see in showroom condition.
