1970 Chevrolet Nova

INTRODUCTION: The sleeper awakes! Numbers match on the engine, transmission, rear end, and more. Amazingly preserved! Meticulous body off frame restoration utilizing many of the original parts. Wonderfully documented with the original broadcast sheet and NCRS shipping report. Now is no time for a nap, the car in your dreams is here! EXTERIOR: Amazing original colors! Factory code 75 Cranberry Red paint. After you're finished gawking at the mirror finish, take a good look at that stance, she sits pretty and perfect. Rolling on body color steel rims with poverty hubcaps wrapped in reproduction Firestone Wide Oval radial tires. Looking down the side of the laser straight body is pure bliss with all its smooth contours and crisp lines. All the body panels have been painstakingly aligned with good gaps that are well above average. It looks like some of the glass was replaced, as were the fuzzy strips and rubber seals too. The chrome hood louvers, fender mounted fish gills and 396 emblems hint that this is not your typical Nova. SS badging proudly adorns the front grill and tail panel. The bumpers have been rechromed and the remaining bright work all has a lustrous shine. INTERIOR: Black and beautiful! This is the way it came from the factory so it's really difficult to tell what's original and what has been refurbished but nonetheless it's an fantastic condition. The dash pad is not cracked, the headliner is tight as a drum, the carpeting was replaced, and the SS steering wheel refurbished. The sun visors and door panels both look to be original as do the climate control and radio. The front bench seat has great vinyl that could very possibly be original but still in excellent condition, and the same goes for the rear seat and seat belts too. And of course the crown jewel is that Hurst 4 speed shifter sitting front and center. The dome light is working. This interior is just as well preserved and restored as the rest of the car. ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The toughest block on the block! The legendary high performance L-78, #'s matching optional 375 horsepower 396 cubic inch engine with 11:1 compression ratio and heavy duty internal components. Original and correct square port heads, carburetor and intake manifold with Winters foundry ''snowflake'' casting. The distributor, brake booster, alternator, water pump, and many other components are also stamped with the correct numbers dating the parts as original. Stock looking cast iron exhaust manifolds flank the sides and also have the correct casting numbers. Power steering and power brakes are much appreciated options. The battery is properly secured plus the squirters and horns are hooked up. Thankfully the original cowl tag is still in place. The underside of the hood is painted satin black and complete with insulation. The fenderwells and firewall are also neatly painted satin black. TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The underside of the trunk lid and inside the jamb are painted Cranberry Red just like the exterior, with a shiny finish. The weather strip was replaced and reproduction jack stickers were added. It is equipped with a full size spare tire and jack assembly. The floor pan is all solid rust free metal with a neatly applied spatter finish paint. UNDERSIDE: Body off frame restored! The steering system has been completely gone through and works fantastic. The front suspension also looks great with new springs and shocks too. Out back is a leaf spring suspension with fresh shocks. It is equipped with front power disc and rear drum brakes plus the emergency brake is hooked up. The exhaust system has been replaced from the manifolds back with new tubes and transverse muffler. All the fuel lines were replaced. Looking up at the original #'s matching engine you will see bright Chevy orange paint. The #'s matching Muncie M20 wide ratio 4 speed manual transmission that was only available with the SS option and appears to have been recently serviced. The drive shaft was rebuilt and transfers powe
