Not knowing if they are original or not,our 70 has chrome gills on it.I think that it looks ok the way it is. I think it would be to close of a match to have them silver https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif.Just my opinion.

Was the comfort grip wheel an option on a SS Nova at any time in 1970?

No. The fancy wheel (w/ finger grooves) option was not available on the Novas to my knowledge - and the Comfort Grip wheel (no finger grooves) was actually only available on the Buick GSX. Some Deuces got them via a Yenko installation option.

Is this the same Nova that sold at Barrett-Jackson for $50,000 in January? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

The rim of the GSX/Yenko wheel is also much thicker too.

Yes. A friend of mine saw the car. I have not. He thought it looked pretty nice. FWIW. The gentleman in the picture is Gary Holub I believe.
