A very nice start on this 1970 Nova with SS badging ..i'm guessing its not an original SS but there's no way to tell from my research.

This nova is going to be REAL NICE once you paint it YOUR color of choice and do the body work..

I have too many cars and projects and no time or money to finish any of them..

There's a lot here to tell/read about this car in no certain order-- PLEASE read and re-read it all before bidding or calling. Thanks.

I have more pics if you want them, just message me..or request any certain part of the car.

There'"s a lot to tell any SERIOUS buyer about this car so I've put most of it in the description.

If you can, please come look at and drive the car. 

YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED WITH THE MECHANICS OF THE CAR-- ITS 43 YRS OLD...

Call me please to discuss any other details and get pictures of any part of the car.


THIS IS NOT... Not a numbers matching numbers car.

First the bad if you want to call it that.

I had some body work done on the car a couple of years ago.
 They basically took off all the chrome, the side moldings and so forth as you see in the pictures and filled the molding clip holes and fixed the driver door where someone had ran into it on purpose for whatever reason sitting in front of my house.  
They sanded, primed the hood and painted under the hood gloss black.

 All that's basically needed from this point on is body work and paint. 
id assume it needs taken down to the metal to see what's really going on with the car.

Some basic cleaning and basic interior work..

I have new INTERIOR door panels and new carpet ..it will need a few more things no doubt.
I HAVE A LOT OF THE STUFF TO FINISH THE CAR.

It has some body filler in it in places as can be seen on closeup inspection.
Around the quarters and places, some lower portions of the car as well.

Rear half skin LOWER quarter panels were put on it many years ago over top the others it appears- you can see them in the trunk --don't have pictures of things yet.

 The car has some rust at the bottom edge of the passenger side of the rear corner of the window at the molding area..
 This has always been a problem area with these old cars.
you might have to remove the glass and sand blast the whole area around the channel or similar and repair, seal,  then paint..
 I had to do this with my 68 Chevy ll.

I have no wheels for the car at this time - it is riding on my el Camino wheeels. 
I'm looking for wheels and tires to transport but you can bring your own if you come to drive it home --it will drive anywhere , doesnt overheat or any problems.
of course i'm sure nobody would want to drive it across the country. 
The car has a complete and basically new FLOWMASTER exhaust system..
 As you can see in the one picture it has the 3970010 block, 4 bolt main.

Also, The rear Driver door window post needs welded where it comes out of the door.
I always forget that for some reason even when I'm showing it in person.



Call or email to discuss anything, BUT after 3 pm most days. 614 863 4279
PLEASE LEAVE A MESSAGE AND I WILL GET BACK WITH YOU.
 
most of the description is in no certain order.

It has less than 20 miles on the rebuild and engine.

It has a turbo 400 with shift kit in it.
 It seems to have a small leak which i haven't had time to see whats going on maybe the shift lever seal or its too full or the pan gasket?? 

The guy at the shop says it has a manual valve body, but it shifts into all gears by itself.

The steering column has been rebuilt out of two columns, but it has no indicator for some reason but there is one in the box in the trunk? (will have to ask him about this next time I go over)

I have a low reserve on it but it will stay for now because of just the fact I purchased the car complete and running before i had it lowered, a new engine built and >>>>
and just spent over 9000 most of it labor..sigh.. on the front end rebuild/refurbishment, NOT including the price of the engine and the engine work, over $3000...
 then also including installing the fresh engine, the wiring, and all you see in the pictures and more- 
Newer Edelbrock carb auto choke,(#1406 I believe), 
New ceramic coated type coated headers, 
New power steering pump & hoses,
 New rotors, 
small parts and pieces, etc.

I believe this to be close to the original street driven miles.. of course you can never know because it has not been documented.

The title is clear but it has not been put into my name, first because i have never really driven it but to the shop or second had an out of state inspection yet.
The car has mostly just sat in and around the home property. 
I can send you a picture of the title if you wish.

I called the title office.

 They said as long as the lien holder(s) have signed off on the title it is free and clear and it can be handed to the next buyer without me putting it in my name first.

 The first and second lien holders, which was the loan company he(previous buyer/owner) purchased it through have signed and it has been notarized. 

The car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.
Although i didn't add the option for a BUY IT NOW or Make Offer, I think you can submit one to me via eBay messages or call?



Everything from the firewall has been refurbished back to nearly original GM or rebuilt or replaced with new, at a cost of $9000!!  yep, nine grand.. but that included two years of labor by the shop.

The engine is an original late 69-early GM engine block,  rebuilt with ALL NEW internal parts.
original late 69 or early 70 GM block, 
original GM crank,(turned and so on), 
GM rods,  
GM heads(rebuilt) but the engine is NOT original to the car.

 It has a hydraulic Comp cam # 12-207-2/Grind # CS 255DEH-10, with a dual pattern; 421 intake, 451 exhaust. Duration @ .050 > 203 int, 212 ex. 
Basically the car needs no mechanical work, only body and paint work, and a little interior work and possibly some minor adjustments and tightening or such. A steel cowl hood.

 I think he used Sealed power pistons and rings?

 Not sure about what kind of bearings. But I know it was a major brand.
Part of the upper firewall has been repaired because of some rust problems.

It has front disc brakes and rear drum.

One local guy said to put it the way he wanted it to almost new, he would put on new full rear quarter panels and possibly a driver door skin or door ..and depending on your needs and wants . 
 The driver door had been purposely hit when sitting in front of my house!! I have no known enemies, so that was confusing to me.?
There had been rear half skins put on the quarter panels and not the greatest job in my opinion-why do ppl do this??

I do not know any history about the car other than i'm sure it was used as a drag car for a time,  and possibly stored inside because of the way it was when i received it back when purchased.
It was blue when i purchased it with the green interior dyed black.

It was originally Forest green with the custom green cloth interior(according to cowl tag)--the only green left in the car was the cloth rear bottom seat which I still have and also have a black rear bottom that goes with the car.

I bought it off eBay out of Illinois in October 2006 complete and driveable but it had been turned into a drag car at one time and turned back into a street car with air shocks, traction bars and with another drive train- a newer maybe 87-93 350 with the center bolt valve covers and a twelve bolt from out of a Chevelle I was told at the time.

It has a VILLAGE of SKOKIE vehicle license sticker in the windshield from 2004-05. 

It has frame connectors.

It has been lowered by a shop about 3 years ago with new Hotchkis springs and rear lowering kit(blocks).

A twelve bolt open rear end with 3:73 gears the shop told me.(they had it all apart and checked and so on)

It had a new gas tank upon purchase.

It had all newer steering parts and ball joints and so on upon purchase.

I had it in the body shop a couple of years ago as you can see by the pictures and then it went straight to the shop across the street for the front end rebuild for about two years.
Just got it back several weeks ago and its been sitting since.

I have new interior door panels, carpet and a bumper jack for the car as well as other parts and pieces.

The trunk is ok but has a few tiny rust through holes in it --you can use as is or replace trunk floor.

This is the second listing... 


Thanks for looking ... call anytime and I'll get back to you.

 The 72 Nova was the 1st year you can tell a true SS by the VIN # >> care of  .. Novas dot net

GM announces 3 new recalls affecting 1.7M vehicles in North America [w/video]

Mon, Mar 17 2014

Still embroiled in the ongoing ignition switch recall, General Motors announced today three more discrete recalls, affecting a grand total of 1,546,900 vehicles in the US. The Detroit News reports that some 1.7 million vehicles are affected overall in North America. The first and largest of the trio of new recalls concerns some 1.18-million Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia crossovers from the 2008-2013 model years, Chevrolet Traverse from 2009-2013 (pictured above) and Saturn Outlook vehicles from 2008-2010. All of the crossover utilities may have an issue with the wiring harness for their seat-mounted side airbags. Apparently, the vehicles are equipped with a Service Air Bag warning light that, if ignored, "will eventually result in the non-deployment of the side impact restraints." Those restraints include the side airbags, a front-center airbag if the vehicle is so equipped and seatbelt pretensioners. Dealers of affected vehicles will be instructed to remove driver and passenger side airbag wiring harness connectors, and then "splice and solder the wires together." The second recall affects 303,000 Chevrolet Express (pictured right) and GMC Savana vans from model years 2009-2014, and with gross vehicle weights under 10,000 pounds. Said vehicles do not comply with a head impact requirement for unrestrained occupants, and will need a reworking of the instrument panel material to be sent back on the road. It doesn't sound as though there's a quick fix for this one, as the GM press release states: "Unsold vehicles have been placed on a stop delivery until development of the solution has been completed and parts are available." Finally, the third recall affects 63,900 Cadillac XTS luxury sedans from model years 2013 and 2014. A brake booster pump may be susceptible to corrosion by way of the relay, potentially causing and electrical short, overheating, melting of plastic components and even engine fires. GM says it is aware of two engine fires in unsold XTS models and two cases of melted parts. Repairs for the issues affecting the XTS have not not mentioned by GM in the release. The Detroit News is also reporting that along with news of the triple-recall, GM is taking a $300-million credit to help pay for the repair costs, and to deal with the ongoing costs associated with the ignition switch recall. In an attempt to explain just what GM has been doing in the face of these very serious issues, newly minted CEO Mary Barra has addressed the issues in a new video.

Conquest and controversy conclude the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona [spoilers]

Sun, 26 Jan 2014

If you don't wish to know who won the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, you should avert your eyes right now. We'll even give you a double-space to skedaddle...
For those of you still with us, the first race in the United SportsCar Championship (USCC) is done, but the discussions about it certainly won't end for a while. Daytona Prototypes claimed the first four overall places, the top spot taken by the No. 5 Action Express Coyote-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Joao Barbosa, Christian Fittipaldi, Sebastien Bourdain and Burt Friselle. The 16th and final caution of the race bunched the field up for an eight-minute sprint to the flag, so the first place getter finished just 1.4 seconds ahead of the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Dallara-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Max Angelelli. Third place went to Brian Friselle in the No. 9 Action Express Chevrolet Corvette DP, 20 seconds down. Chevrolet power hasn't taken the overall win since 2003, eleven years later it scores a one-two-three-four. The No. 6 Muscle Milk/Pickett Racing ORECA-Nissan 03 scored fifth place, the top LMP2 finisher.
The Prototype Challenge class win went to the No. 54 CORE Autosport team of Colin Braun, Jon Bennett, Mark Wilkins and James Gue.

Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]

Sun, 03 Feb 2013

The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.
