1972 Nova

[Warren D]

A model of my first car from the AMT COPO kit.  Made a few mods to get it looking like a 72.

Nice, clean build! I believe the kit's Revell, though.

I too had a yellow Nova for a while--a '69. It was the pale yellow, though, not the bright yellow.

Mine was Cream Yellow, the photo is a little darker than the model.

Very nice Nova. My first car was a blue 68 Nova, sure wish I still had it.

Thanks all.  It was a good car, probably the cheapest I'll ever own.  Bought it with 46K and sold it 5 years later with 150K.  Had a 307 with a mild cam and factory 3 speed on the floor.  It moved ok for it's time....

Awesome build! Love this color, would like to paint my 70 SS Monte Carlo this color. What is the name/brand?? Looks close to Safari Yellow? I bought this same kit 2 weekends ago at AC Moore using a 55% off coupon, lol. Plan on painting my Copo this Green Mist Metallic.

The official name was Cream Yellow.  The other yellow that year was called Sunfower but it was darker and had a touch of brown.  That was for 1972.  Back then GM changed the name of the color often but kept the same color and the color code for several years.

Very nice build Warren. Saw a lot of Novas like that back in the day. I like it.
