This 1970 Chevrolet Nova coupe was produced at GM’s Willow Run, Michigan, facility and was purchased by the current owner in 2020. An engine replacement, a repaint in red, and an interior color change were performed during previous ownership, and the car is equipped with a 383ci V8 linked to a three-speed automatic transmission and a 10-bolt rear end. Features include front disc brakes, exhaust headers, Flowmaster mufflers, Foose 17″ wheels, a black vinyl interior, and air conditioning. Work completed in 2022 included replacement of the water pump and tires. This modified Nova is offered at no reserve on behalf of the current owner with manufacturer’s literature, service records, and a clean Washington title in the owner’s name.
Finished from the factory in Cranberry Red (75), the car was repainted approximately ten years ago during prior ownership according to the seller, and it is accented with chrome bumpers, side fender vents, and SS-style badging. Additional equipment includes an aftermarket cowl hood, black-accented side moldings, and dual side mirrors.
Staggered-width 17″ Foose wheels feature a polished finish and are fitted with Continental Extreme Contact Sport tires that were mounted in March 2022 and measure 235/45 on the front and 255/45 at the rear. The car is equipped with cross-drilled front disc brakes and rear drums. The suspension has been modified with front coil spring spacers.
Black vinyl upholstery and trim are fitted in place of the factory Medium Sandalwood materials and are accompanied by contrasting red floor mats. Features include air conditioning, manually-operated windows, and a floor-mounted console housing the T-handle shifter.
The three-spoke steering wheel frames a horizontal 120-mph speedometer along with a fuel gauge and ventilation controls. A trio of AutoMeter auxiliary gauges are mounted at the base of the dashboard. The five-digit odometer shows 13k miles. True mileage is unknown.
The 350ci Chevrolet V8 has been bored and stroked to a displacement of 383ci, and features are said to include four-bolt main bearings, Eagle rotating assembly components with an 11.1 compression ratio, and RHS aluminum cylinder heads. Other additions include an Edelbrock carburetor, an aluminum Edelbrock intake manifold, and Jet-Hot-coated headers linked to a dual exhaust system equipped with Flowmaster mufflers. Service in 2022 included an oil change, installation of an aluminum water pump, and replacement of the upper radiator hose and drive belt.
Power is routed to the rear wheels via a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission and a 10-bolt rear end with 3.55:1 gearing.
