Restored Nova

[Allen]

There's a lot of funky stuff wrong with this car.

Console (WTF?)
Shifter (location?)
Bucket seats (68 style)
Steering wheel (71+ style)
Rear tail panel (red SS badge)
No gauge package, but it's on the GM document
Color (white or blue?)
Rear side marker location (too far forward)
Newer style power steering pump

.... probably more.

Sorry to be a critic, but the ad promises more than the car seems to offer.

Yeah, I hate to chime in on this kind of talk but its a dealers car not an enthusiasts so what the heck. The car looks like he waxed it with a hammer. Is that JC Whitney side body molding? I thought George Forman gave up working on exhaust systems!! Well at least we know where the car was when the under side was painted, it matches the overspray on the lift.
Oh and if this is any indication, check the underside of his other auction.

Look at the engine oil pan.....how many drain plugs do you need in your oil pan? Obviously no expense was spared on this car.

This car is from my home town. Community chev olds is (was???) in Winnipeg Manitoba. I believe the dealer is still around. Cool.

Looks like he took the car to "Jiffy Lube" and the "New Guy"
wasted no time in stripping out the drain plug...and in went the self tapper.

How about that super rare HEI ignition,or the nut and bolt under the door jamb switch.Whats that for so the door doesn't close to far? Geniuses I say. Don't know about you but it scares the daylights out of me.

I think the extra door jamb hardware is the optional Starsky and Hutch security system.

"how many drain plugs do you need in your oil pan?"
ya' know, sometimes you just don't want to spend an extra 5 minutes waiting for your oil to drain. ever feel that way? well now there's the NEW 'MEGA-PLUG' from Ronco !! installs in seconds with optional .38 cal........

unfortunately, you can no longer contact bidders on these gems. Ebay has done their best to protect the sellers and leave buyers in the dark. I would not have a problem shedding light for bidders when it was still possible.
