Here is your chance to own a true piece of history:

A 1973 Nova Custom "Sky Roof" Hatchback SS. One of only 3,259 ever produced with this option: RPO CF1 But wait...! This one is even rarer, because it also have the Original V8 option and RPO Z26, which included the Front Disc Brakes and Rally Wheels...! By research, it appears that only 918 cars were built like this one!!!

"Sky Roof" was the way they used to call what we call today "Sun Roof..."

Take a look at the 1973 Nova Production Numbers…. You will find that this car option (RPO CF1) was the rarest, with fewer than any other option produced.

I have to add that... I will love to "finish" this car the way it was intended to be:

1. Add Rear Disc Brakes

2. All New Upholstery... Leather??? WOW!

3. Replace / Rechrome Bumpers

4. Dress up the Engine room...

5. Add Air Conditioning (Gotta have it in Florida...!)

6. Any other "Goods..."

That's what we love to do here at Custom Chevys....!

The car has SS Badges. For 1973 the SS Package was option RPO Z26, which included the following:

According to the Cowl Plate Third Row: 04C (April, Third Week, 1973.

The Car was built in April 1973. That why I went to great extremes to find a 1973 Plate With An April 1973 Sticker!

We did a lot of work in the vehicle, but we still have the original Rally Wheels… Will include them if the Winning Bidder wants them, please see more pictures in the Photo album… I will be adding more pictures later.

Given the original Sky roof Option in this car, it is extremely easy to convert the old 1973 option to a Modern Glass Sunroof, but we decided not to go that far, and leave the car’s body stock.

The condition of the car when I got it makes me strongly believe that the Odometer reading is accurate at 53,900 Miles, but the vehicle is exempt by law, given its age.
