Up for sale is a nice low mileage 1974 Nova with P/S and very rare factory A/C,restored enough to cruise in and have heads turn. This was purchased as a father son project that we intended to create a $20,000 SS clone from. Bought 11/2009 with only 66,045 miles but rusty. It now has only 66,212 miles and for the first time since we started went on road in 2015 but as you can see only 167 miles so far. We decided to keep the restoration generic just in case my son wanted to sell which now is the case. He is in college and needs the money. By hooking a single Thrush muffler to the original Y pipe from the original exhaust manifold a buyer can make exhaust system as they want,by putting covers on original seats the same is accomplished it's pretty and ok that way yet buyer can still do a SS bucket seat center console car. We painted black because our final color was going to be hugger orange and black shows imperfections so after driving, as is, later we could make perfect and repaint but now that is buyer's option. We installed new subframe mounts which has caused steering to be a little tight when (I believe) making left so steering box or column needs small shimming not a big deal but wanted to mention. Clone to SS would be easy because the car came equipped with a 350 V8 350 automatic transmission. We installed a 4 barrel intake manifold then put a 4 barrel Edelbrock carburetor on it. Installed a new chrome high volume low pressure fuel pump and new fuel line back to fuel tank. Also created access cover in the trunk to access fuel line and gage if needed in future. Radiator is new as is thermostat. Left and right lower quarters from tail into door jams have been replaced. The radiator support and rear light panel are ok as cruiser but not as $20,000 car. The brakes are stock drum which I replaced a rear cylinder but looks like it may need other side since back reservoir of master cylinder goes low after like 3 days yet I don't see leak on ground, $10 part at Autozone. All interior molding will be in trunk, headliner is down but have roll of black perforated liner I will include. We also wanted to buy 1972 bumper mounts so we could move bumpers close to body and do away with bumper shocks then paint to match car color. Something new owner can do, just an idea that does away with a piece in front and back bumpers and makes a cleaner look.
All in All .car is a head turner but needs to be driven wants to be driven by you. PLEASE DON’T BID IF YOU CANNOT BUY AND TRANSPORT
