Nice clean little nova coupe that runs drives and looks like its the mid 1980s again.Starts right up with no stalling,idles nicely on its choke and settles down to a smooth idle.Rare low mile low option custom coupe...California blue plate car its whole life.Very rare that this is a custom coupe(vin proven)with almost no options...she was ordered with the custom option group,bullet proof turbo 350 transmission and am/fm radio,thats it no other options...has manual front disc brakes,manual steering,no a/c,no tinted glass.This car has just over 85k miles and everything works...can be driven anywhere right now and driven everyday.....Look how clean it is underneath and how original and gunk free the 4.1 engine is,retaining most of its original blue paint still.Has California emissions,all working too. Why the original owner did not splurge on power steering baffles me.Driving her without power steering is actually quite easy....that said....I bench press 450 pounds and i find if I had to park this in a tight spot it would be a pain in the rump....Typical rust free Cali car except for the very forward edge of the hood...why rust started here,only on the outer sheetmetal to me is unknown....the undercarrige (see pics) does not even have any surface rust.....check out pic of original left rear brake drum that still has factory sticker and marks on it....car was repainted original white many years ago i was told due to typical 70s gm white paint flaking off in hot temps.Paint is flaking off of rear bumper filler on both sides as clearly seen in pics.Its a real presentable paint with no dust,looks fine.Interior is typical Cali car...dash has cracks seats are toast,and plastic and headliner need to be replaced.I just installed a new heater core,nice hot heat.The car is all numbers matching and the iconic 4.1 has plenty of torque which moves this car along just fine...turbo 350 trans(one of best autos ever made by anyone)shifts perfect...original exhaust with original cat is quiet and leak free....brakes are good and work perfectly... ***NOTE: buy it now ONLY gets both sets of wheels...if buy it now is NOT used and car sells...the original wheels and tires with dog dish caps (last pic)will be on car and rallye wheels will NOT go with it...again..only BUY IT NOW receives both sets of wheels...Rallys are real nice,just repainted with new chrome solid lugs and new tires.Clean Clear CALIFORNIA title in MY name...thats right,i had to pay california non op back fees,so Cali titled it in my name .... To sum up,if you are unrealistic,and want a perfect show car,keep looking.If you are real and want a clean driver you can drive right now,and looks nicer than 95% of 1978 novas... this is for you.I am a SUPER easy guy to deal with.I dont care for nonsense,or scams...small non refundable deposit due right at auction close,no exceptions,till received car is available to anyone...If you are the buyer,please dont drag your feet,lets complete this quickly and easily.Sold as is,where is.....if shippin, thats all on you,though I will help any way I can.Thank you...She cruises at 70mph, Drive her home,no matter how far away you are.
