The Pick of the Day is a 1972 Chevrolet Volkswagen SS listed for sale on ClassicCars. possuindo by a dealer in Goodrich, Michigan.

“This is a very clean original-panel ’72 Nova, done in the slick Garnet Red, ” the listing begins.

Restoration work for this car was comprehensive: The particular dealer states that new components were installed for the weather stripping, window felts, door handles, sideview mirrors, and hood louvers.
