Driveway Dreams, presented by Hagerty, is HOT ROD’s series dedicated to giving stalled project cars a second chance. Each episode follows our crew as they help owners tackle builds that have slowed down, sat too long, or become more than they bargained for. In Episode 3, HOT ROD Editor-in-Chief John McGann and Lucky Costa visit Stan, a longtime enthusiast with a big-block 1972 Chevrolet Nova inherited from a close friend. After years parked on the street, the Nova needs major cleanup and some smart upgrades to get it back on the road. From rewiring the engine bay and adding power steering to replacing the alternator, radiator mounts, and water pump, the crew transforms this rough survivor into a roadworthy street car once again. Projects like this remind us that every car carries a story—of friendship, legacy, and the drive to keep classic machines alive and on the road.
