LSX Powered ‘72 Nova
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Our friend Memo brought over the first of a few of his cars we’re going to be shooting. His LSX powered ‘72 Nova which falls into the higher end “working mans build” category. The styling is unique to Memo and this thing makes great power and has an incredibly cool look to it.
Sit back and enjoy the ride...

This has to be the top three best Nova I’ve ever seen. I love the style.

Damn... It was funny him looking at the driver like you can't drive but never said anything except smiled hahaha
That car is done just right, not too loud, but just loud enough. & Memo seems like a nice guy, humble but at the same time, he knows what he has!
I’m back to leave another comment a year later. This thing is just so right. He just gets it. So sharp.

I'm back for a rewatch too. That black front clip and tail is bold but works real well. Especially going with the gloss black instead of matte.
I love it I had a stock 71 Nova SS 350 automatic in the mid 70's. This one is hot as Hell from the bad ass paint to the power and sound it is a great build. Be proud of that one for sure Memo.
Gotta admit never been a fan of that Nova body style, but this guy made me change my mind. That car is sweet and sounds even better.

66 or 67 are the ones for me, I don't like the rear ends on the 70s but all are still bad ass
Awesome build. The contrast of black and white and how he used it is truly top notch. Looks like a great build
Very tasteful. I love it. I can see this continuing to be a trend.
I love the throaty gutheral growl.... Awesome sound...
Memoe great ride! Great choices on upgrades for your ride! Autotopia is the best!!!
Very cool 😎 I like how the folks in the cts wagon enjoyed the nova also. You know you have something when other car guys want to look at it.
Exhaust sounds super unique! I really like it. Nice build
Definitely one of my favorite channels

Cool car for sure !! Nicely done with black and white.
Love me some Nova! Killer car, love the black front and back looks cool coming at ya and leaving u in its dust. 68-72 Nova is on my bucket list of cars.
Man, that Nova is sweet. And the look is so unique
Love the car and the fact that he drive his cars hard. That's how it should be. I just hope the 70 nova that I am building will turn out that bad ass. As all ways thanks for showing off these bad ass rides.

Me too, except mine is a 72 like his and is a rally Nova. Good luck on your build.
My favorite detail, which has a lot of potential how he blacked out the gaps.. imma give the internet this idea because I'm not a builder yet ,but that's a perfect way to accent the car
Got a ticket in Quebec in a 72 Chevy Nova. Cop said I was doin 165 MPH. I new it was fast , But holy crap, 165 . 1 proud nova owner. Get caught doin that today? Car impounded You ARRESTED MAJOR FINE. Back then 300. Dollar fine Live those Novas
Love it!!! Torque looks like it’s gon break the seats!!!! Lol! Sweeeet build, love a well-built nova!

What can I say Shawn other than perfect. I love as you say a clean and simple build,and the white body with the contrasting black end caps is priceless. From me to you're friend a beautiful build. Simple and no added fat. Hey how can I not mention that WTF sound.... Wow music that an electric vehicle will never naturally make. Cheers Shawn.
Nice attention to detail and a real driver car!!
Good to see you buddy thanks for sharing maybe we'll see you sometime

man that is one cool car and agree it's the subtle touches and not so with the boot and engine bay especially as the black makes the engine a feature but when down as you say get the black lines in the body. Looking forward to the other cars which he has
Wow amazing
That black face paint job is niiiiice
Damn that’s a Clean ass Nova brotha!
Very nice car.
That's Dope!! Pro Touringesque; but I'm guessing no mini tubs. That's a Fly joint right there!! 👌

My grandma owned this exact car except that it looked the same as it did when she drove it off the lot new in 71. When we went up to move her into assisted living, I was tasked with driving the car about 80 miles back to our house. My dad was in the business ad knew a mechanic that wanted it. So I get in this thing and she was a smoker so it had a film of nicotine brown everywhere, burn holes here and there in the seats. Now before I get in I did a walk around for basic safety as the car had been sitting for months by then. No cover, and in the California sun. I didn't think it would have enough battery juice to start up. So while walking around it and checking the trunk.. on the outside the metal was rusted and showing thru in spots. In the trunk I could see the bottom was rusted out to where I could see large parts of the road beneath it. When I got inside I was fully expecting to have to call a wrecker out. But then I turned the key, and this behemoth of an engine roared immediately to life. I remember it was an automatic on the steering column. So I backed out, put it in drive and touched the gas pedal. Vooom and instant power came alive by the time I hit the freeway a few miles away, I was fully aware of what I was driving. A clear onramp of about 100 yards lay before me and when straightened out I pushed the gas to the floor. After leaving part of the tire tread on the pavement a good ways behind me.. I was at 80 when I cleared the ramp and roared into sparse Sunday morning traffic. For California, sparse and traffic don't usually go in the same sentence. However, the automobile God's shown down upon me that day. I was like a little kid again. I had never driven a car with so much instant torque and top end speed. I could never test the full speed of the car seeing that it would be stupid to drive an unknown car at top speeds on a road with others on it. However, a couple newer mustangs later left in my rearview, I pulled into the driveway after doing 80 miles in record time. When I got out I tapped the old girl lightly and whispered "good girl, thank you" and walked into the hose with a smile plastered on my face and a rapid pulse to match. That mechanic was there with cash an hour later. I didn't blame him. If that car hadn't been promised to him beforehand or he hadn't shown up.. it would be in my driveway today. FAST car. Fun car. Missed car.
Murder nova needs to add this as his next car beast

I’m a Chevy and, over the years, I have really been trying to like the 3rd gen Nova. It just hasn’t grown on me. Until this video. I love this car. Very detail oriented car that has everything it needed, and nothing that it doesn’t. Just an awesome job from the lsx/tremec driveline to the stance to the interior. Nice attention to detail. Great job!
A very classy cruiser!!!!! Perfect for daily use, and autocross. Thanks for sharing.
