| I have a 1974 Chevy Nova with a newly rebuilt 305 V8 and transmission. It is red with black rally stripes and merely needs interior and minor cosmetics. I am thinking of selling it and need to know what would be a reasonable price range for a classic like this. | |

Replying to: slinger76 (Dec 20, 2007 6:51 am) I don't think the rebuilt 305 is much of a selling point, unfortunately. The 305 didn't come out until 1975, so that's not an engine that was offered in the '74 Nova. IIRC, they came standard with a 250 inline-6. A tiny 262 CID V-8 was available as an option, putting out maybe 110 hp. And several versions of the 350, with hp ranging maybe from 130-180 depending on the carb setup. So I'll go with what Lemmer said, maybe $2-3K...but only if it's a 2-door. If it's the sedan, I'd cut that in half, unless it's REALLY nice. |

Replying to: andre1969 (Dec 20, 2007 7:28 am) My parents bought a '73 Nova new. While the bumpers gummed up the clean '72 styling, it could have been worse. The '74 had an even more ungainly 5 mph rear bumper. Workmanship was the worst of any Chevy we ever owned before or since; that said, for a car whose wheelbase was only one inch shorter than a Chevelle coupe, the car cost hundreds less than a comparably-equipped Chevelle, so we couldn't complain much. It was a six-banger with 3-speed on the floor and no power anything, but it had Rally Wheels, whitewalls, and Exterior Decor Group which included body side moldings and chrome side-window door frame and post moldings. People couldn't believe at the time that the window sticker was actually (yes, this is at the BOTTOM of the sticker), $2,625.00. I was a big fan of the '75 Nova restyle, but I remember looking at new ones and the workmanship was no better. Loved those '75 "LN" models, a one-year only variant. Bill P.

Replying to: bumpy (Feb 27, 2008 12:19 pm) Was that good or bad? That was GOOD! The car had Rally Wheels, whitewalls, the extra exterior moldings which made it look like a much-more expensive Nova, but the six, stick, no power steering or brakes kept the window sticker down. Bill |
