Copies of Ownership Titles (Please note: If you happen to be
viewing this 1970 Chevrolet Nova SS on a website other than our
Garage Kept Motors site, it's possible that you've only seen some
of our many photographs of the car due to third-party website
limitations. To be sure you access all the more than 160
photographs, as well as a short start-up and walk-around video,
please go to our main website: Garage Kept Motors.) Offered here is
a red-over-black (under a black vinyl top) 1970 Nova SS showing the
key details known to represent a real Nova SS. The car's correct
front grille, correct emblems properly placed, together with the
numbers-matching Turbo-Fire 350-cubic-inch, 300-horsepower V8
engine and numbers-matching transmission tell the tale. Its
original build sheet is also included. A North Carolina car,
showing 67,038 miles on the odometer, or fewer than 1,300 miles
per-year on average, the cexcellent, original condition is a
tribute to the care it's received from prior owners. The Nova's
non-metallic red paint remains in superb condition with good shine
overall and even application. (To best assess the quality of the
paint and trim finishes, please be sure to view the close-up
photographs of the car in the accompanying gallery.) The
blacked-out front grille, characteristic of the SS cars, shows
excellent condition as does the body-side trim. Front and rear
chrome bumpers are in like-new condition. The proper SS emblems
fore and aft, the Nova-script badges, and the 350 front-fender
emblems remain in place. The factory black vinyl top on the gently
sloping fastback (which adds distinctiveness and style) is free of
rips or other damage. Cabin glass and all lighting lenses are clear
and free of cracks or other damage. Five-spoke styled steel,
14-inch wheels with SS center caps and chrome trim rings are
mounted with Uniroyal® Tiger Paw GTS 215/70 raised-white-letter
all-season tires. Inside, the black color theme continues:
black-vinyl upholstery features a classic, vertically-pleated
design (with textured center panels); a black, 2-spoke, SS-branded
steering wheel frames a black dash; black carpeting covers the
cabin floors. The black headliner shows some looseness on the
sailplanes. Door trim mimics the seat-upholstery design with a
woodgrain trim strip; roll-up window-cranks are chrome (showing
light patina) are in place. Instrumentation includes a 120-mph
speedometer with a column-mounted tachometer. AutoGage®
engine-monitoring gauges for battery-draw, coolant temperature, and
oil pressure are added below the dash, forward of the
console-mounted automatic-transmission t-bar shifter. An Optimus®
audio head unit is mounted in the factory-radio location. The car
was optioned with both power steering and power brakes. Condition
of the vinyl, plastic, and dashboard surfaces is good overall with
signs of use, but not abuse. The trunk is clean and properly
finished. Under the hood (with the correct SS twin faux vents), the
Nova's powerplant is a beautifully turned-out Chevrolet 350
cubic-inch, 300-horsepower V8. Trimmed with a chrome air cleaner
cover, the engine is spotlessly clean and correct, including the
proper Chevy-orange engine-block (and valve-cover) paint. The
entire engine bay shares that same correct look with all wiring and
hoses refreshed and properly routed. Viewed from below, the car's
chassis is clean, and well ordered. The eye is drawn to the
full-length dual exhaust system with low-restriction
Cherry-bomb-style mufflers, and the view of the bottom of the very
clean engine. There is no sign of chassis or component damage, and
only light surface rust is present on some untreated metal. The
car's identification and data tags remain in place. The previously
mentioned build sheet and copies of prior-ownership titles are
included in the sale. While
