The detail of this one-off Hugger Orange interior is amazing.

He will also be available to discuss the car and answer any questions that a potential buyer may have. There was never an 'Option Code' on Chevrolet's 1971 order sheet for this amazing Nova – it is one-of-a-kind and is going to make its new owner very, very proud. ALL VEHICLES SOLD “AS IS”.
