This 1970 Chevrolet Nova SS coupe underwent refurbishment between 2009 and 2011, and it is said to have remained within the seller’s family since 2008. The car was refinished in metallic maroon, trim was replaced, the bumpers were re-chromed, and the replacement 350ci V8 was rebuilt and fitted with an Edelbrock Performer aluminum intake, a Holley carburetor, and an aftermarket camshaft. It is also equipped with a Hydramatic three-speed automatic transmission, a Harrison radiator, Flowmaster mufflers, black vinyl upholstery, woodgrain interior accents, and a Pioneer CD stereo. Work in 2023 is said to consist of repairing a transmission pan leak and replacing the fuel lines, fuel sending unit and level sensor, and brake components as well as fluid services. This Nova was acquired by the seller in 2019, and is now offered with copies of the original order form, refurbishment documentation, spare trim pieces, an uninstalled Muncie four-speed manual transmission, and a clean Indiana title in the seller’s name.
Nova SS models were equipped with a black-accented SS-logo grille, simulated air intakes on the hood, and a black panel with an SS logo between the taillights, and this example was ordered in Shadow Gray (17) with a black vinyl roof. Under prior ownership the car was repainted in metallic maroon, the bumpers were re-chromed, and trim items were replaced.
15″ Rally wheels were fitted with replacement trim rings and center caps during the refurbishment, and they are mounted with a mix set of tires. The car was delivered with power-assisted steering and brakes. The front springs were replaced and a dual-circuit master cylinder was installed during the refurbishment, and the seller states that brake components were replaced in May 2023.
