No major damage, just a ding here, a scrape there. Within a week of owning it, it was hit twice. What are your thoughts on this 1979 Chevrolet Nova? Any speculation about where we could see the bidding ending up? It also comes with a clean Pennsylvania title. It is a no-reserve auction, so the high bid takes the car home. How well it runs or how long it’s been since it ran is not stated.Įven though we are not told a lot about the car, at least the seller has posted quite a few pictures, so it’s pretty easy to get an idea of what you are getting here. This Nova is part of the estate of a deceased mechanic, with the only thing being said about the car from his son (who is also a mechanic) is that, “it runs!!!”. The only thing that the seller says about the engine is that it is a 250, which equates to a 4.1-liter straight-six. Also, while there is some minor surface rust visible underneath the car, I believe it would probably have a lot more if it had traveled an additional 100k miles, considering where the car is located. The dashboard and door panels are in nice shape, but what happened to that steering wheel is anybody’s guess. The carpet doesn’t look great, but Hazlewood, PA is not far from Pittsburgh and those winters are hard on a car, both inside and out. While far from perfect, I wouldn’t expect the seats to look as good as they do if the odometer had flipped over. However, the interior kind of makes me second guess myself. I guess anything can happen at any time to car, but the dings are spaced out enough that they look like they may have happened over a prolonged period of driving. If you do the math, that’s about 863 miles a year, and although the car doesn’t look too bad to be 41 years old the body does show quite a few battle scars to have only traveled said miles. The ad states mileage as 35,393, and there is a clear photo of the odometer showing the same number. The more I look at this Nova, the more I keep going back and forth wondering if this is actually a 35,000-mile car.
It is located in Hazleton, Pennsylvania, and can be found here on eBay with a current bid of $2,900 and about 8 days left as of the time of this writing. If you’re in the market for an affordable Nova that is said to be a survivor, this 1979 Chevrolet Nova may be a good car for you to consider.

Even though it was the last year for its generation, Chevy made a few cosmetic modifications from the previous year’s model, including replacing the round headlights with square units and updating the grille, plus a few additional pieces of chrome trim were also added.
1979 marked the end of the line for the fifth-generation Chevrolet Nova, and it was also the final year that the Nova was produced as a rear-wheel-drive automobile.
