I had a 70 SS…383 ..aluminum heads..560” lift…3500 stall..4:10 gears…Buttercup yellow with black vinyl top…wide oval redline tires..looked like your grandma’s car…until I started it…🤣🤣.
That is one bad ass nova, don’t get me wrong but it’s not 1987, nobody thinks a third gen nova is a sleeper anymore. That being said, I do like the 1976 nova concours paint scheme
Yeah, the 10 bolt can handle the power in this car with the gear set that's in it. If you were to switch to a 4.10 gear ratio and use slicks, then you might want to consider upgrading to a 12-bolt rear end. However, I feel comfortable racing this car with its current gear ratio and 10-bolt rear end, even if I were to use slicks.
In the past year, 3rd-generation Novas have been sold online for an average of $43,000. The highest recorded sale was $118,000, while the lowest was $8,000. This particular Nova has a brand-new drivetrain with documentation, so we believe that $37,000 is a reasonable starting price.
@@BonafideAutoAppraisalthe average you mention includes several original SS 396 cars so not apples to apples. No question a lot of money has been spent on this car though.
You're right, that same average also includes four doors, projects, and six cylinders. Not exactly apples. The seller will entertain all reasonable cash offers.
Very nice but not a sleeper with the hood , traction bars and obviously the sound coming out of the DUAL exhaust unless you’ve been in a cave that’s a lightweight street rod all day
487 hp?! One wheel peel at that rpm should have smoked that treaded tire. It's funny how a used car salesman can talk up something he has no idea about. This is designed to fluff up its value. What you're actually getting is a decent pig with some lipstick on it.
Dang dude. Way to harsh the mellow on this fine Friday morning. It's a positraction rear with documentation as well as a dyno sheet from @Smeding performance showing, ahem...482HP. That's my final answer.
@@BonafideAutoAppraisal You can't deny its an 8.2" ring gear rear end and the video showed it only layer a single tire spin patch. You can church it up all you want but some of us trolls know better.
@@BonafideAutoAppraisalIt also has a quick fuel QFT 600cfm carburetor on it. There is no secondary metering block on it which proves it's a vacuum secondary street carb that can not support "482" hp. I can pick the car apart more if you'd like?
I agree. My first car was a new 68 Chevelle, loved it. However, I replaced it with a 70 Nova SS, 396. Replaced engine with a bored and printed punched out 427 with full race everything. Beefed up the suspension, ladder bars, etc. Was running around 650 hp, in the low 10s at around 135mph. So don't tell me that you should not put more than 200 hp in a Nova. 🙂
Nice Nova love those novas
If she had 65 Chevelle SS low back bucket seats and a Tremec 6 speed w/SS console that had the gauge package ,....... she'd be perfection.
Beautiful car

Yeah buddy😊

Thanks! I like that paint scheme too. It's called Classic Copper, (paint code 67.)
Finest Kind
Very Nice. I had a real 71 Nova SS in the same color.
What exactly color is that?
Classic Copper.
Nice Duster!
Sweet......
Thanks for watching!
If only we new then ! These cars were a dime a dozen in the 70 s ! Wouldn't we ALL like to know though ! 😂✌
I remember finding a Nova for $500 and I wanted it so bad, and couldn't afford it. That was then...
Yep mine was a 69 chevelle 396 4 speed for 2500oo ! Junk yard price be more than that Today !
Is this Nova still for sale
Yes it is.
Hi Chris I'm interested in your Nova is it still for sale and how much
Shoot me an email at Bonafideautoappraisal@gmail.com
Thanks for getting back with me I will get ahold of you tomorrow
nice car but 10 bolt?
You can pound a well set up ten bolt. Especially on those tires
Yeah, the 10 bolt can handle the power in this car with the gear set that's in it. If you were to switch to a 4.10 gear ratio and use slicks, then you might want to consider upgrading to a 12-bolt rear end. However, I feel comfortable racing this car with its current gear ratio and 10-bolt rear end, even if I were to use slicks.
I agree
Good that it’s an automatic, that way an 8 year old would be able to steal it for a joyride
on the column ...forget it...
Would be better if it was a small block 400.
Is this car still for sale
Yes it is.
@@BonafideAutoAppraisal thank you sir

I recognize the area Santa Fe
37 grand I don't see more than 28 grand for this car

Good Luckkkk😂
You can't build the car for $35K
Very nice but not a sleeper with the hood , traction bars and obviously the sound coming out of the DUAL exhaust unless you’ve been in a cave that’s a lightweight street rod all day
Where is the Nova located and address
It's in Albuquerque New Mexico.
Thank you sir
Straight up it’s uh sleeper
Right up until you start the engine!
Exactly 👍🏻
@@BonafideAutoAppraisallooks like frame is tied in???
Rid the traction bars, CalTracks are way,way better

That's far from a sleeper.
cmon man don't call it a sleeper
It certainly doesn't sound like a sleeper. It is kind of an unassuming color though!
Im a chevelle guy and no way should you put more than 200 hp in a Nova!

No PS?
No power steering, It has a new Borgeson steering box though. It's nice and tight, has no slop, and is actually pretty easy to steer.
The original buyer could afford a hundred dollars extra for power steering
