One Owner Barn Find Small Block Automatic Air Conditioning on 2040-cars

Before I begin I would encourage all serious buyers to contact me directly at: 517-425-0129.

Although this is a 7 day auction I reserve the right to end early.

You are bidding on what I refer to as a barn find, 1970 Nova. The indicated miles of 95000 are said to be original. One family owned, still retains the original owners manual and protecto plate. The son of the seller originally purchased the vehicle new and then passed away several years ago. At that point the father kept the vehicle primarily stored, driven rarely. In recent years the Nova has had some maintenance performed in an attempt to keep the car in running condition. As the car sits now, it will run and drive but I would suggest a full mechanical inspection prior to any long hauls. Description as follows:

Exterior:
* one older repaint to its original code 48; Forest Green.
* All exterior chrome, trim and glass in very nice condition
* Set of 4 14x7 Chevrolet Rallys on new tires
* Various nicks and chips, small ding on passenger rear quarter
* paint also shows some bubbling and blistering, spot on hood center where paint appears to have delaminated?
* Could be considered a 20 footer in its current condition or a drive as you restore car. but to make it nice, it will require paint.

Interior:
* Interior has been partially redone with seat covers and new carpet to match its original trim code of 745 Dark Green.
* Still very original condition with correct steering wheel, original AM radio. Overall interior is actually very nice.
* Recently refinished trunk area with mat and spare tire assembly. Looks like trunk floor has had a couple of repair areas as well.

Mechanical:
* Correct 350 V-8 2 barrel, very original appearing engine compartment.
* Still has factory AC in place, good compressor, belt is still hooked up. At the very least it will need a recharge.
* 2 speed automatic trans
* dual exhaust
* front end rebuilt and brakes redone approx. 5 years ago but only driven 800 miles since.
* Power steering, manual brakes
* exhaust leak off passenger side manifold, will need a new donut gasket.
* fuel gauge inoperable, always reads full, could be a ground?
* Other than that , heater, wipers, lights all work.

To summarize, this old Nova is somewhat of a survivor, has the potential to be a nice car with some work and money. Could also serve as a good daily driver. Regarding rust or rust repair, all original panels. 2-3 areas on underside will need some attention. Also appears that both rockers have been fixed at some time.

Please take the time to review all the pics and don't hesitate to call with further questions; 517-425-0129. I also have contact with a reasonable shipping company and would be glad to assist. Vehicle offered by Rare Rides, a licensed MI dealer.
