Vehicle Description
1969 Chevrolet Nova
The X frame based Chevy II started in 1962 and spanned 4
generations until it was discontinued in 1979 before a brief return
with the 5th gen cars from 85-88. Nova was a top model for the line
until it became its own nameplate as Chevy II was dropped in 69. Of
these cars the late 60s tends to be the most sought after. Muscle
cars were in their prime and the 69 Nova was all muscle car. The
very nice Nova you see here is in good condition and has basically
undergone a body on restoration a little at a time spanning the
last 20 or so years. The body may not have been pulled but every
component has been gradually gone through and redone as the current
owner has had the car. It is done as an SS tribute so it has all of
the Super Sport badges as well as the SS hood. It was painted
Lemans Blue, its original color, in 2003. The paint is in good
shape but does has a few nicks from being driven. To be honest, the
paint is really the only reason we have it priced as reasonably as
we do. Had it been a fresh paint job the car could easily be listed
for more $. All of the chrome and stainless is in good condition
and nicely installed. It does come with a set of new stainless for
the front windshield as it has faded slightly. The car has all new
floors throughout and is solid with no rust issues. The weather
stripping has been redone and everything seals nicely. The lights
are all working properly and the taillights have been changed out
for LEDs. The Cragar SS wheels look perfect on a muscle car like
this and are in good condition.
Turning those wheels is a fully rebuilt 350 V8 motor. It has been
upgraded with an RV cam, Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, Edelbrock
600 cfm 4 barrel carburetor, electronic ignition and SS valve
covers. It has a nice clean look under the hood so in addition to
driving well you can pop it open and show it off. Backing up the
motor is a Muncie 4 speed transmission that has been rebuilt. It
had an automatic previously and the conversion was done the correct
way. Looking at it you would have no clue that it wasn't always a
Manual. Just swapping transmissions is one thing but it has had the
factory tachometer components added to the dash which requires
changing out the whole gauge cluster, etc. The suspension has been
entirely rebuilt and front/rear sway bars added. The dual exhaust
sounds great and it has Turbo II mufflers. It has power steering
making it a nice easy driver. The car was really built to be driven
and has taken a few long trips throughout its life. One was the
power tour and the car performed well.
The interior of the car is finished out in Black and has all been
redone. The headliner, carpet and door panels are all new. The
bucket seats look great and have custom embroidered 1969 Novas on
the headrests. Between the seats is a factory manual center console
with the gauge package and Hurst shifter. Everything is working
except for the new clock which was never connected. Other features
include the back up camera and AM/FM/Cassette player. The trunk of
the car is nicely finished out as well and has a custom box for the
relocated battery. This gives you easy access to the battery and
really cleans up the look of the engine compartment.
This cool classic has been the pride and joy of the current owner
for many years. It was well built and extremely well cared for
along the way.
This nice Nova could be yours for only $25,750.00!
