Chevrolet's legendary Nova makes for the perfect muscle car, with
their compact size and capacity for massive engines. In fact, when
most people think of a "Chevy Nova", that's what they think of: a
compact muscle car with big power and even bigger style! This 1970
Chevrolet Nova SS is no different, believed to be an original
big-block SS car with only 62,131 believed original miles clocked
on the odometer! The highlights don't stop there, though. Popping
open the hood reveals a massive 396 C.I. "Turbo-Jet" V8 breathing
through a 4-barrel carburetor, ensuring that this little Nova will
rocket off the line like no other. Torque is stomped into the
pavement through a 4-speed manual transmission with a Hurst shifter
and a 12-bolt rear end, which allows for responsive shifting and
proper power delivery as well as plenty of smiles behind the wheel.
The exterior's laser-straight, stylish semi-fastback bodylines are
covered in a beautifully correct shade of "Forest Green", repainted
back to the factory color with accompanying painted pinstriping.
There's some minor paint flaws, but they're hard to see at 10 feet
and only noticeable upon close inspection. But after all, with this
car's stunning pinstriping and uncommon paint color, it's pretty
easy to overlook in the first place! The undercarriage is also very
solid, with strong floors, frame rails, trunk, and door jambs.
Another highlight on this Nova is the cabin, which becomes clear as
soon as you open the doors to step inside the interior. You'll be
welcomed with show-quality black vinyl trim and wonderfully cozy
cloth bench seats, which are perfect for car shows and cruises.
You'll also be wowed by the condition of the woodgrain trim, which
adds some luxury flair to the interior and matches up to that green
paint well! Other options on this sweet '70 Nova include power
brakes, front dis brakes, a correct big-block heater box that's all
hooked up and ready to go, an electric fan and matching shroud, an
under-dash A/C unit, under-dash aux. gauges, dual chrome mirrors,
factory gauges, an aftermarket AM/FM/Cassette stereo, a remote
mirror, vent windows, and a mean-sounding dual exhaust system. This
Nova is shoed with some sleek-looking Cragar SS wheels wrapped with
like-new Cooper Cobra RWL tires for a factory-fresh, period-correct
appearance that's sure to turn heads wherever it goes! Believe us,
the minute you turn that ignition key, you'll feel this Nova's
power vibrating through your fingertips. It's got a ton of power,
running and driving even better than it looks! This Nova SS is the
real deal, and it's lean, mean, loud, and ready to rock & roll.
It's just a call away from being in your driveway, so don't let it
pass you by!
