Repro hoods are not that bad. Its a 73/74.

Its hard to fathom that someone installed that hood and displayed it in public.

Something way not right. I believe he must have liked the color combo, and some stuff just didn't matter.

BTW, this Nova SOLD for a record $70,400 for an L48 4 Speed.

A very nice Nova indeed

The Chevelle and Nova seats are the essentially the same as far as fit, but the pattern of the vinyl is different. So the Chevelle covers would work, but wouldn't match the back seat.

The brand covers in the Nova now have been there for 2 years and they are already stretched out and the ribs/line or whatever they're called, never lined up when the covers were made. The upholstery gut who put the covers on 2 years ago said there was no way he could line then up to make them look correct. At the time Legendary wasn't making Nova covers, so I was "stuck" with those covers. I'll call Legendary tomorrow and see if the new Nova covers are in production....

My Buddy was out there and saw this Nova in person. He texted me photos of it. He said it looked really nice in person with the exception of the obvious issues mentioned above. I was really shocked that it did 70.

My buddy just installed a AMD repro hood on his 68 Nova after hitting a deer and the fit was perfect.
