Sleeper Awakes �€" Period Chevy Nova SS magazine advertisement
headline The Nova SS advertising copy hailed: Up and at 'em! ... a
throbbing engine note... this one's no imitation... a standard
300-hp V8... special suspension... an extra tough clutch... 7 wide
wheels... power disc brakes... Chevy Nova SS... the car that woke
up swinging. Clearly, the folks at Chevrolet were celebrating the
way folks had been making their more basic Novas into performance
sleepers with this new SS that came from the factory ready to
perform from day one. Offered here is a 1970 Chevy Nova SS in red
over black with a black vinyl top. Showing 59,792 miles currently,
the car has traveled just 1,150 miles per-year on average since
new. A true factory Super Sport that's been professionally restored
to a very high standard, including rebuilding its numbers-matching
V8 and maintaining its numbers-matching Muncie® 4-speed, the well
documented Nova SS is a near-perfect representative of Seventies
performance, properly maintained and ready for show... and go. The
professional quality of the red exterior paint application is
evident in the even and complete application (including door sills,
door frames, and underside of the hood and trunk), virtually
perfect gloss, and deeply reflective color. The way the twin chrome
hood louvers stand out against the smooth red paint is particularly
satisfying. In addition, the sleeper character of the Nova's
largely unadorned body panels and 2-door non-hardtop styling is
nicely brought to life by the bright red paint. (To best assess the
quality of the paint and trim finishes, be sure to view the
close-up photographs of the car in the accompanying gallery.)
Chrome trim surrounding the SS blackout grille and the chrome front
bumper are in excellent condition. Indeed, all body chrome
trim--the hood louvers, bowtie-embossed side mirrors, cabin-glass
surrounds, vinyl-top trim, SS rear-valance blackout panel and
taillight surround, and rear bumper--shows excellent shine free of
all but minimal patina from age. Stock, perfectly finished,
red-painted, 14-inch steel wheels (with chrome trim rings and
chrome bowtie-embossed hubcaps) are mounted with Hankook® Optimo
H724 blackwall tires to complete the period-correct, properly
sleeper look. Inside, the black textured-vinyl upholstery on the
foldable front bucket seats and rear bench employs an attractive
staggered-width, vertical pleated design. Black door trim is
enhanced with woodgrain, also used on the rear-cabin side walls.
Black cabin carpeting is protected by GM-branded rubber floor mats
in all four seating positions. An SS-branded, 2-spoke steering
wheel frames the horizontal 120-mph speedometer, with a smaller
5,000-rpm-redline tachometer and a clock incorporated in the
cluster. Four additional engine-monitoring square gauges are
incorporated forward on the center console similar to the Camaro
layout. The factory Delco® AM push-button radio and vertical
slide-lever controls for heat and ventilation are located to the
right of the steering wheel. A sole Nova emblem faces the front
passenger on the otherwise unadorned black dash. The shift lever
