Gasoline

1978 nova in original unrestored condition. Car is all original except for the wheels. Has a good running LM1 4 barrel 350 engine believed to be numbers match but not verified, does not tick or knock and runs smoothly on all 8 cylinders. Transmission is a turbo 350 and is not working at this time (has no forward or reverse movement) Rearend is 8.5 inch 10 bolt with 3.08 gears. Car has been sitting for 5 years when the transmission stopped working. I just put some fresh gas in it and it started right up and ran great, the choke even works on the quadrajet. Fuel pump is weak and will only supply enough fuel to run the car if you pour a little gas down the carb first to start the car so it moves the pump rod faster, just cranking the car over it wont pull fuel if the car sits for a day or two., but once it starts it will keep the car running just fine. Brakes need blead but if you pump them up it will stop it. Passenger side door window was broken out so it needs that. Only rust in the car is right behind the rear wheels on both sides but isnt bad. Only bondo in the car is in the drivers side rear quarter up high and is cracking out its about a 6x6 area not bad at all. I believe it still has most of its original paint on the car as you can tell they tried to blend that quarter panel in a long time ago after it was repaired. Body is very nice for its age but has a few small bumps and bruises, bumpers are nice, all electrical is in working order except the gas quage is stuck on full even the vacuum economy guage in the dash is working. Trunk is perfect, floors are very nice just some surface rust nothing major. Interior is complete except for carpet. I have the original build sheet i found under the rear seat and it proves this car is a real 350 4 barrel car from the factory. It is untouched original car and is a great car to restore or just throw a transmission in it and a little work and drive it while your working on it. Needs very little in the way of parts its all there. Cars like this are getting hard to find that havnt been butchered up. If your looking for a great start with no surprises this is it. Car was bought new in dry Montana and has stayed her its whole life. Please feel free to ask questions if i missed something. Buyer must arrange for pickup at my residence i will not move the car, i will help get it loaded. Reserve is set very low for this car as it is just time to let it go to someone else, i have other projects in front of this one and i cant even get to those so i have no need to keep it.

It comes with the wheels that are in all the pictures besides that one. I tried to remove that picture but it wont let me. Again you get one set of wheels and they are the keystone raiders (cragar ss} type. Thankyou.
