Beautiful newly painted black and blue colorings cover all surfaces. It is restored to better than showroom and is a sight to behold.

#1970 nova cars manual
On the back is a Muncie M20 4-speed manual transmission from 1970, but not original to this car. Like new hoses and bolt ons are throughout and all new wiring is noted. This engine in 307ci V8 configuration, has a 4-barrel carburetor on top, and is painted a beautiful GM red/orange on the block and valve coverings. Even under the hood is like new with bold shiny paint and new insulation. The radio has been removed, but even the pedals show no wear! A tight blue headliner in vinyl is above all this nicety.Ī non-numbers matching engine sits comfortably within the completely restored engine bay, and it is just showroom. A wood rimmed drilled rally style steering wheel is fronting the dash and is also very clean and like new. More perfection for the dash which now has an aftermarket tachometer on the column and a trio of extra blackface gauges hanging below the dash in the center. The back seat is not outdone by the front and is in the same pattern and style only in solid bench form and it appears as though it's never been sat in! Pristine blue carpeting keeps all the seats afloat and on the hump is a recently installed 4-speed Hurst floor shifter. The split back bench in front has shiny smooth blue vinyl bolsters and some smaller tight to the top of chairs headrests. Inside a beautiful broadcloth multi shades of blue pattern covers the seats. Smooth near perfect blue vinyl is adorning the door panels along with some shiny perfect trimmings and a Nova badge. All surfaces are finished to showroom quality and even the under the hood and undercarriage are excellent.Ĭonsigner states all new NOS interior coverings correct for 1970 have the interior covered. A long look at this fine job, and you will begin to see the inherent quality of the restoration, which was painstakingly performed to a high level of fit and finish throughout. All steel is bathed in Mulsanne Blue and it is hard to find a fault in the paint, let alone any rust. This leaves us with a real beauty of a car with excellent chrome and trimmings, laser straight steel, well minded gaps, and snazzy rally wheels. This impressive looking stock configuration car has the benefit of undergoing a rotisserie restoration. Enjoy the 1970 Chevy Nova! Several years went by with this car being restored, starting with the metal in 2010, then finally finishing in 2016 and now sporting a mere 3500 miles since then with the motor having approximately 60K miles on it. However, this does not detract from its charm and important place in Chevrolet history fulfilling a need for the masses. It is so pedestrian you would walk by it and never notice it.

Minimalistic with maximum function, thrift, not revolutionary in concept or execution, a compact grocery getter, pick the kids up kind of car, here in our hallowed halls. However, Nova was chosen as the name for the higher-end, sportier trim option, and did eventually replace Chevy II as the car's official name in 1969. As a model name, Nova was relegated to runner-up name because it didn't start with C. Eager to produce a budget-friendly compact muscle car, Chevy introduced the Chevy II. But it didn't start out as the Chevy Nova…not quite, anyway. While the 1960s and 1970s witnessed a fight between American automotive manufacturers to produce the fastest and most powerful muscle cars, the Chevy Nova was just right when it came to size, speed, and affordability.

The Chevy Nova was a compact competitor in the legendary American pony wars.
