1970 Nova SS? Value and possible rare parts?

[L78_Nova]

Ummmm... If he's your friend I hope he was joking when he made his offer !
Some valuable parts there.

That guy is no friend.

Your "Friend" is not even close in his offer. Without pics a good guess from your description is 5-7K range.

I'd pay $4-7K for a roller based on your description. If I got it for $2K I'd be ecstatic, assuming you get the title for it.

I'll get pictures this weekend when I get back out to the shop. I appreciate the comments. Yeah he swears he won't sell it and that was suppose to comfort me. And thanks for not bashing me into the ground. I was really nervous about posting the question about it but knew that this was the best place after Cruising the forums.

Been through this friends thing a number of time in business.

Best advice with my machining business from my customer/friend:

"DON'T work for car guys, THERE CHEAP! Most are DIY types that work on cars and don't SEE the value/time it takes to really make a part".

Now over the years, I DID work on car guys stuff, but that was with an open cheque book when they wanted some special or made better.

Now with the cars part of it, I told friends that "I want X for it. BUT if you want it you GIVE me X, and if you keep it, work on it and not try to just flip it, I will give back Y amount" The Y amount was usually 10% up to $1,000.

I also know people who WILL NEVER sell or work for friends just for the same reasons.

I think I can say that our group will help all we can.

Again, welcome.

Been there, done that with the "friend" thing. I had a 1984 Kawasaki 1100 Spectre I bought new and had NO intention of ever selling. In 1997, I bought an used Harley and this "friend" started bugging me to sell him the Kawi because he missed having a motorcycle. I finally sold it to him at a "friend" price with the the strict stipulation, when he bought a Harley, like he really wanted, it ONLY came back to me and I would give him all his purchase price back. Yep, less than a year later, I found out he sold it for more than twice what he paid me. "Friends" like that aren't friends, and you have already experienced this with previous deals you've given him.
If you are afraid of pissing him off or losing him as a friend over this, don't be. Once he figures out he can't take advantage of you anymore, he will probably not keep in contact anyway.
You already have enough responses that the car is far more valuable than what he is offering, so take it from there. I have no doubt you could sell it on this forum quite quickly at a fair price AND have a new friend...

Sounds like a pretty cool Nova for the most part.
Once you post some pics I wouldn't be surprised if you do a deal for fair market value with someone from these parts.
I'd be telling your buddy to take a hike out of pricipal.

If you sell it to him that cheap he will probably flip it and you will be so pissed you will loose him as a friend anyway. Don't loose the car. Loose the friend.
