1971 Chevrolet Nova for sale
Current customer rating: (107 votes ) based onOk. now for the car itself. My Nova is an Ascot blue two door with the optional white vinyl top. It is powered with a V8 307 2b carb with factory air conditioning that blows ice cubes. As you can see in the pics. the engine bay appears restored but it is not. I simply cleaned and polished where I could. The Ascot blue paint is original color. but it is a repaint from 2009?? There is no paint seams visible. even with the car doors open. but some overspray appears below on the mono-leaf springs. Again. being honest here. the car probably wouldn't fall into the "survivor" category because of the repaint and the new interior carpet. duplicate to the original blue loop carpet. There is no rust on this car other than the surface brown underneath the car. The trunk is in amazing condition and the original spatter paint still has that sheen to it. I never knew this. but the trunk matting was an option. which this car did not have. but I went ahead and put the correct matting in it. The exhaust system has been changed to a dual exhaust sounds great. A light blue cloth interior with a front bench seat is in order. Even the headliner material is still tight and a pretty blue with no rips or tears. Strange tho'. is the black 1970 seat belts instead of being blue. The shoulder harnesses have never been out of the holders. The only negative is a crack in the blue dash pad. I was going to replace it with a black one and have it dyed the proper blue. The original factory AM radio comes with car i installed a pioneer stereo with a cassette and put speaker in back seat just sitting there. Here's something interesting I've found and verified. The original dash speaker does not work and at some point. Nellie took it to the dealer for repair. The dealer gave her a new factory speaker but simply tucked it up underneath and wire-strapped it into place on the AC ductwork as opposed to disassembling the entire dash to get to the original speaker. This was looked at by a judge at a national event and was intrigued by the shortcut taken by the dealer. unbeknownst by Nellie of course. The steering wheel is mint with no cracks. A closer look underneath the car reveals that a lot of the cars parts still have those little coded paper tags hanging off and several original chalk inspection marks. A national judge also noted that the trunk weatherstripping rubber still retained its inspection marks. This judge wanted pictures of these marks for a book he was putting together. As you can see. my Nova is now sporting Corvette rallies to give it a more sporting look. but I do have the original hubcaps. The tires are brand new. was a little unsure of the age of what was on there. so I went with new ones. The Nova runs and drives perfectly. no wondering in the steering and it drives straight and true. I put those famous air-shocks on the rear. but saved the original spiral shocks that were on the car. I changed fluids to be sure. including tranny fluid. which is how I found the date on the pan. Again. the AC blows good and cold. A rare feature of the car is the rear window shelf defroster. kinda looks like a lone speaker sitting there. That same judge found that there is a factory air dam under the front bumper that he's only seen once before in 32 years. He believes it's part of the air conditioning system. . EBay only allows 12 pics for free so if you want more i can send them just ask. so I had to be somewhat choosy even though I have a lot more pics.
I'm sure I'm forgetting some detail(s) but again. I want to be as honest as possible with no surprises. If my Nova does not sell. then no big deal. I'll keep it and enjoy. Feel free to phone me with any questions at 815-409-0537 or to come by and see the car for yourself. I do have a "buy it now price" which I call a recovery price after what I paid for the car. A $200 dollar non-refundable deposit is expected within 3 days of the close of the auction. Sorry. but this keeps people true to their word. I will be advertising locally. so I reserve the right to end the auction here on EBay. I will do what I can to assist with shipping. Good communication is key.
