To the folks that think this is not a ‘74.. Look at the actual body of the the car (the quarter windows). Those are 73-74 specific. Fenders, hood, doors, etc are all interchangeable between 68-74 even though they may not be “correct”, I think it looks awesome!

It depends where the temp. sensor is located as to how quickly it responds.

The '74 Nova was totally redesign, it had the bumpers front and rear with the shock absorbed & was a hatch back.

Lmao nice

[@neolithicnobody8184]

I'm trying to understand WHY someone would ruin a car like this. The parts and panels are just as accessible as the rest, why go through all the trouble? 73 and 74 were unique from the 68-72 models in that exact fashion and they stole that away from it. Despite looking like a 70, this actually IS a 74. The dead giveaway is the backseat side windows. The top edge of the glass is longer on the 73 and 74.

[@Tartan1206]

Because they probably didn't like the look of the 73/74. 68-72 are more desirable based on looks

[@neolithicnobody8184]

@@Tartan1206 68-72 is more readily available. They're everywhere!! Doing this to a 74 is the same as taking a 63 Corvette and turning it into a 64 or 65 by removing the Split Window.

[@gregbell3559]

Perhaps it got rear ended and front end damage in accident. No parts for a 74 avail but the 71 was ....

Put a 12 bolt posi rear and you are good to go!!!

Yup 12 bolt locker

No need for a 12-bolt. The 8.5" 10-bolt is plenty strong for this obviously mild big block and relatively light car.
