  • Manual steering
  • Was originally a 6-cylinder car (now a V8)
  • Paint Code 62 – Burnt Orange
  • Top was originally painted white, Paint Code 11 – Antique White
  • Previous Owner said he had the car repainted in the original color because he didn’t like the white top

  • Dual exhaust with dumps at rear axle (sounds great)
  • New battery
  • Weld wheels
  • Tires have plenty of tread but are old and should be replaced
  • Interior color is Sandalwood
  • Interior is in good condition but has some discoloration (see photos)
  • Vinyl floor mat
  • Previous owner added some SS trim pieces; obviously it is NOT an original SS car
  • The car looks pretty solid to me although the original paint in the door jams seems to have some surface rust here and there
  • Plastic filler between grill and bumper is cracked
  • Novas like this are getting really hard to find in this kind of condition; someone will have a lot of fun with this car
  • Lots of opportunities here
    • LS Swap
    • Big Block Swap
    • Drive and enjoy while you modify
  • I have a couple of old photos of the car before it was painted; please message me if you would like to see them

This car is almost exactly the way it was when I purchased it. I have too many cars and I just never got to this one. I only drove it a handful of times when I first got it and since then it has been sitting for years in a heated storage building. I put a new battery in it and the car fired right up and it runs well once it warms up a bit. I drove it across town to my shop with no problem. I did notice that the drum brakes pull a bit and will likely need to be adjusted (or better yet swapped to discs). The car has been sitting a long time and should be thoroughly checked out before being driven any distance. I have too many cars so am “thinning the heard” and this one is available.

Please feel free to message me thru eBay with questions. You can also text questions to me at: 270-791-3210. Transportation is the responsibility of the buyer. See deposit and payment requirements elsewhere in this listing.

Thanks for looking!
