1977 NOVA STOCK CRACKED

Plastic on the pillars and door tops is cracked and will need replaced. A shiny lacquered faux wood grain dash houses the square and rectangle design dash. Slightly dirty high back buckets are in front in white vinyl and a bench in the back which shows some cracking of the vinyl on the top of the bench, and one can see the inner padding. Minor soiling is on the white, but if a thorough detailing is performed it would improve greatly. The door panels use molded white plastic screwed on to the bottom of the doors and are showing slight waves to them. In true mid 1970's form a white vinyl interior and square and rectangle design abounds inside. Dual chrome tipped exhaust pipes peek out from underneath and 14-inch rally wheels are on all 4 corners. A quasi fastback rear deck is within this 1977 design rolls over gently to the rear taillight panel with the shiny and pristine rear bumper below.

All remaining trimmings are shiny with some rust showing up on the passenger mirror. Some rust invasion can be noted on the various seams of the body panels, as well as some dings that have pierced through the paint, and areas of crazing can be seen. All the remainder of this car is bathed in a dark blue metallic respray. Turning the corner to the front quarter and aligning up with the level of the front bumper is a snazzy triple wide pinstripe which melts together over the wheel wells as 1 stripe then spreads out with the original 3 stripes just above the rockers and on to the back of the rear quarter panels. The exterior still looks like a muscle car with a somewhat mild-mannered powertrain keeping operating and insurance costs lower.įor 1977, a now chromed egg crate grille with a shiny bumper framing it below leads the way. This one with a 305ci V8 inserted, a 2-barrel carburetor and a 3-speed automatic. It included different stripes, the grille was now chrome instead of black and the F40 suspension was no longer part of the Z26 option (however it could be ordered separately).įor consignment, a 1977 Chevrolet Nova Rally. The option was basically just a name change as it was mostly the same as the 1976 Super Sport option. The second time around the Rally option replaced the Super Sport option dropped after 1976 and it even carried the same code: Z26. You could also now order a non-SS Nova with the top L48 engine.

The Rally option ended after 1972 because beginning in 1973, you could order the Super Sport with any engine (250, 307, L65 350 2-bbl and the L48 350 4-bbl). The SS was more expensive to insure because of the top engine. The other reason was because of the surcharges applied to owners of 'real' muscle cars. This was done for 2 reasons, people who wanted the muscle car look could have it without paying for the more expensive Super Sport option. You could get a 250, a 307 or the L65 350 2-bbl. It had the look of a muscle car with stripes and rally wheels but it could not be ordered with the SS-only L48 350 4-bbl engine. The first time around, the Rally option was a pseudo muscle car. In 1977 thru 1979 the Nova was offered with the RPO-Z26 Nova Rally option.

The Nova was offered in 19 with the RPO-YF1 Rally Nova option. 14-inch Rally Wheels/Original 305ci V8/3-Speed Automatic
