1970 Chevrolet Nova SS 396 Big Block L34 4-speed Very Solid SS.

If you have been looking for a true Big Block 4-speed SS Nova THIS IS THE ONE.

Car was repainted in its original Desert Sand paint probably sometime in the late 90s early 2000s. This car was originally a very rare 2-tone SS. Desert sand body with white painted top.

The white has since been replaced with a vinyl black (looks fantastic).

The interior sandalwood vinyl was also upgraded to a black vinyl to match the black vinyl roof.

She runs great with a recent carburetor rebuild by one of the best engine builders on the east coast. 4 speed manual trans is a real treat and the car acts exactly as youd expect. The car has the standard suspension still and does seem to have that aged stance but handles great and really takes you back in time.

So what does it need?

In the spirit of full disclosure and that I want no surprises for the buyer, I will list what I see as those areas that need to be addressed:

Paint looks good but this car deserves a newer and better paint job. Being realistic saying this is a number 3 car. I truly think its much better than a number 3 with its condition and documentation.

Beyond the paint, the trunk lid could use better alignment.

The rear suspension although ok could benefit from leafs being re-tensioned.

The beltline black trim will need a little work

whoever originally put it on when it was repainted was a little aggressive and there are spots you can see that it was pushed on a little hard. I had a PDR guy look at it and with a little finesse said this was easily fixed.

The clock runs but does not keep the correct time.

The reverse lock-out rods are MIA and will need to be replaced if you want your reverse lights to light when in reverse. (Lots of people removed them b/c you had to put the car in reverse to take the key out of the ignition

kind of a pain

but that was the security of the 70s).

Very solid car

Ive had multiple experts look this car over and I have had it appraised. All have said its a very solid/clean and highly optioned/documented SS-Nova. Everything works (minus the clock). Although I have no access to a lift, the undercarriage is clean, dry and rust free. Appear to be original floors. No patchwork or other funny business.

Somewhere along the line the gas tank was replaced.
