This 1970 Chevrolet Nova was purchased by the current owner in 2009 and underwent a subsequent refurbishment, which involved repairing and repainting the car blue with dual white stripes as well as re-trimming the interior in black. The 350ci V8 was overbored, rebuilt, and fitted with Hooker exhaust headers, a K&N air cleaner, and an Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold and cylinder heads in 2023. Shifting is through a four-speed manual transmission, and the car features a Hurst shifter along with aftermarket front bucket seats, 15″ Cragar S/S wheels, a cowl hood, a column-mounted tachometer, and an Eaton limited-slip differential. This modified Nova is now offered with photos from the engine rebuild and a clean New Jersey title in the name of the seller’s spouse.
The third-generation Chevrolet Nova was built between 1968 to 1974, and the side marker lights and taillight lenses were revised for the 1970 model year. This example was reportedly fitted with replacement fenders, rocker panels, and rear quarter panels before being repainted blue in 2019. The body is accented by dual white stripes on the hood and trunk lid, and exterior equipment includes a cowl hood, a left-side mirror, chrome bumpers, and dual exhaust outlets. Scratches are noted on a front fender and the hood.
Chrome-finished 15″ Cragar S/S wheels are mounted with BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel drum brakes. The ball joints and shocks were reportedly replaced in 2019.
The cabin features aftermarket front bucket seats upholstered in black cloth along with a rear bench trimmed in black vinyl. Equipment includes a Hurst shifter, front lap belts, polished Fisher-branded door sill plates, and crank windows. Holes are cut on each side of the front carpeting, and the headliner is wrinkled.
The Grant steering wheel frames a horizontal 120-mph speedometer and a fuel-level gauge. An Autogage 10k-rpm tachometer is mounted on the steering column, and a trio of supplementary gauges are fitted underneath the dashboard. The five-digit odometer shows 77k miles. The New Jersey title shows an odometer reading of 187k miles and a “Not The Actual Mileage” notation. Total mileage is unknown.
The replacement 350ci V8 was reportedly bored .030″ over and rebuilt in 2023. The radiator and fuel tank are noted to have been replaced at the time of the rebuild, and the engine has been fitted with a K&N air cleaner, coated Hooker headers, and an Edelbrock intake manifold, cylinder heads, and valve covers.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed Muncie manual gearbox and an Eaton limited-slip differential. The seller notes the clutch has been replaced under current ownership. Corrosion is visible on the underbody.
The New Jersey title carries a “Not The Actual Mileage” notation.
