Buying a classic Chevy off the Internet can be a bit tricky. Often, the pictures don’t tell the full story, and there might be a few problems lurking just out of frame. However, that doesn’t seem to be the case with this particular 1973 Chevrolet Nova. Listed for sale on Craigslist out of Ashtabula, Ohio, this two-door coupe is little more than an engine, a body, and some seats, and all of it looks like it’s in pretty pristine condition.
As well it should be, with just 15,000 miles on the clock. What’s more, this 1973 Chevrolet Nova is considered a “stripper” – that is, a car with only the barebones essentials and no extras. That means no power accessories whatsoever, plus a factory radio delete. And that means less stuff to break.
It might not be a bells-and-whistles kind of machine, but the green interior still looks to be in superb condition. Just check out those door panels and the bench seat! Talk about clean. There’s hardly any wear at all.
Moving under the hood will reveal a six-cylinder engine that sends power to the rear wheels through a Power Glide automatic transmission. So we suppose there’s at least one option equipped on this Chevy.
Outside, the 1973 Chevrolet Nova, rocks a very sleek green paint job, complemented by equally fresh chrome trim that goes hand-in-hand with the viridescent body panels.
We could see this example as a good candidate for a V8 engine swap, considering how pristine the body and interior are. Or perhaps the new owner will simply enjoy it as a well-kept, low-mile example of the Nova fitted with a back-to-basics kind of attitude and six-cylinder powerplant.
Either way, it’s a clean find, and we hope it finds a good home. As of this writing, it is listed on Craigslist for $12,500.

Wow. Takes me back to mid 70s. Had a used 1970 Nova same color with 250cu in six. No a/c. Great reliable car. Had rubber floor mat. No rugs. Had to buy it after my 55 was stolen.
Nice. Back to memories of a standard car with no frills. As much as I know it wouldn’t sell in any numbers worth having, it would be nice to be able to get a real basic small/mid-sized car yet today for a very attractive price.
If this car is a numbers matching car, I would never recommend swapping the 6 pot for a V8.
I love it,my wife would go crazy if she had it. The only thing I would add is a radio. I had a ’55 Chevy strip model like this one and I put a radio under the driver’s seat to keep it looking original. To this day my new trucks I buy come with basic interior,rubber floor mat,s and no power windows/locks.
It is a nice nova,very clean but for 12,500 I think that’s a little high for no V-8,not many options and a color that isn’t very popular either. If it had a V-8 maybe
Something for a potential buyer of any 40+ year-old car to consider—especially one that’s been very rarely driven—is the condition of the fuel tank/lines/carb(s), the entire brake system, and the cooling system. If all these components have not seen regular scheduled maintenance and use, the new owner is going to have a lot of work and expense on his hands to bring all systems back up to driveable condition.
Super-low-mileage cars are sometimes not what they at first seem to be; this is especially true of cars sold at auction, even the highly publicized, high-dollar auctions. As always, Caveat Emptor.
Would love to know where this car is. Would buy it in a heartbeat!
