Garage Kept Motors is very proud to offer this fully restored 1970
Chevrolet Nova SS 396. This car was built at the Willow Run plant
in Michigan and was shipped and sold in Canada and comes with
complete documentation on its Canadian ownership. It was clear this
car was ordered to do one thing, go fast as there are few options
that contribute to anything but lowering the cars ET. The
restoration on this numbers matching drivetrain Nova is thorough
and still presents showroom fresh and comes with full documentation
of the process this Super Sport Chevy underwent to bring this car
back to nearly showroom fresh condition. The finish is the correct
factory Forest Green paint and has been professionally applied over
flawless body work and polished to a high luster. Panel fit is
consistent and straight on all the panels, and honestly exceeds
factory build standards. The chrome bumpers and related stainless
trim has been restored or replaced and looks amazing. All the
correct SS emblems and trim are present and look new. Inside the
interior of this boulevard bully is sparse with very few options.
The black interior is fully restored to nearly new condition. No
carpet or floor sound deadener to add weight, just the rubber mat
covers the floor. The only options are the AM radio and the rear
defogger which we speculate that intent of the defog option was to
keep the rear window clear so you could see your competition more
clearly in the rear-view mirror! Beyond that all additional money
was directed towards the drivetrain and suspension. The suspension
features the F41 heavy duty suspension with front and rear sway
bars and factory limited slip rear differential to help keep the
correct Firestone Wide Oval bias ply tires well planted to the
pavement. Power assisted front disc brakes further the strictly
performance attitude of this SS Nova and there is no horsepower
robbing power steering. The undercarriage restoration is accurate
including all the correct chassis markings and inspection paint
dabs. The suspension and related components have all been removed,
rebuilt or replaced and installed to duplicate a factory fresh
appearance. Under the hood is highly restored as well with all the
correct factory markings and decals. All components used to restore
the numbers matching 396 V8 are exactly the same as used when this
Nova was assembled at the GM Willow Run plant. No detail was
overlooked in restoring the 375-horsepower big block including the
correct cooling hose markings and even the factory spring clip
battery cables with correct part numbers. When the motor is fired
up the music coming from the factory dual exhaust is pure muscle
car rock and roll with that rumbling idle that only a Chevy big
block can produce. The rumble at idle turns to a roar as you run
the M21 Muncie 4 speed transmission through the gears shifting it
with a Hurst shifter. This car is fully detailed and show ready. It
no doubt will be the hit of any car show and cruise in, drawing
lots of attention, but we suspect the real fun will be the ride to
and from the show! Please call if interested or e-mail with any
questions. Thank you for looking.
