The Nova has been repainted in its original 75 code Cranberry Red color. The paint is beautiful. The original rear quarters were cut for drag tires, o they were replaced with NOS GM quarters that were professionally installed. All body panels, enders and doors fit perfect. The bumpers were re-chromed, ll stainless steel was polished, nd glass is perfect. The interior has the original black bench seat and not reproduction parts. The interior is excellent but not perfect. The headliner has a small easily repaired split at the seam on one corner. It has the correct 1970 Chevy II SS dated coded 14x7 JJ XT Steel wheels with Dog Dish hubcaps. The tires are new E70 Firestones with the narrow white line that are correct for the 1970 Nova. over 250,000 Nova's produced ever carried the L78 power plant for 1970.

The sentence should read. "Only 3765 Nova's of the over 250,000 produced carried the L78 engine for 1970" instead of "over 250,000 Nova's produced ever carried the L78 power plant for 1970". In the Item Specifics Section, am not sure when it was checked, ut as stated in the body of the description; there is no existing warranty for the vehicle. |
