Cool Nova pictures and story behind the hurst car! I thought I would post a pic of my original 72. It was a decently optioned car. A/C, 350 2 barrel, power steering, power disc brakes, rallye wheels. Would the only difference in my car and a SS be that a SS would have had a 4 barrel intake/carb, black grill, and the ss rear panel? The 70 year old lady I got it from let it sit for 10 years. I did a basic tune up, went through the fuel and cooling systems, and it's been a great driver.
Post up some more nova pictures!![]()

In 72? I would have to say most likely. And possibly a posi rear and multi leaf springs.

I think they were trying to draw a Hurst wheel with white lettered tire on the front of the giveaway car. Good eye on the back wheel, had not noticed that b4!

The wheel/tire combo on the back appears to be a SS rim, and (hard to tell) white lettered tire. I was told when I ordered my nova new in 70, that the SS rims were not available. Ralleys only. And no raised white letter tires. White stripe only. I would like to see a 70 window sticker with the SS wheel option listed. I'm not saying there weren't any,but I've never see any that I could verify as came from the factory as an option.
![]() Those Hurst auto sticks actually work pretty well after you get on to the diagonal pattern. Look nice too. |

I know the white stripe E 70 14 was the only available tire for the 70 Nova SS, as the E 70 14 Redline was the standard tire for 69, no lettered tires in either year I beleive. Anybody out there with a 70 broadcast sheet or window sticker showing SS wheels.?

My option paperwork only shows the ZJ7 option described as "Special Wheel, Hub Cap and Trim Ring". I've seen this option on window stickers, but have never seen the SS wheel option listed - but would not know the option # if I did see it. So, does anyone have the option number for the SS wheels from a Camaro or Chevelle window sticker? It should be same for the Novas. Ed in RI has a bunch of window stickers for SS Novas, so perhaps he can check his stash for this code.
