1974 Chevy Nova Coupe Rebuilt 350 V8 engine with under 30,000 miles Included: Aftermarket stereo/sound system, consisting of Alpine radio, kicker amp, Memphis Car Audio subwoofer, two Boston Acoustics speakers, and two supplementary Boston Acoustics tweeters with crossover. Direct iPod control through the Alpine radio. $1,500 retail when new; only a few years old. With regard to mileage: I had rebuilt and reinstalled the big block engine in March of 2008. The engine has about 30,000 miles on it, and that is a generous overestimate. The odometer reads 75,750 but had most likely flipped over at some point before I owned the car. In 2008, the 350 was professionally rebuilt/remanufactured. This engine is as good and solid as any remanufactured crate motor. Everything was done, from the top of the carb to the bottom of the oil pan. The motor was completely disassembled and dipped; cylinders were honed; new rings plus .010; new crank and bearings. The top end was machined, and all new Summit components for valve train installed. New timing chain, new heads, new valves, new springs, and new connecting rods -- and the motor was repainted Chevy blue. Obviously, new gaskets from top to bottom. This was not a piecemeal or quick-fix rebuild. New oil pump, fuel pump, etc. Strong runner. Non-oil-burner. My intention was to keep this vehicle forever; therefore, no shortcuts were taken. But the recent economic situation has forced me to sell. This Nova will provide you with years and years of excellent performance. 8 Cylinders Aftermarket tachometer Transmission: Automatic 4 Speed B & M Racing Mega Shifter The undercarriage and exhaust are in good condition. Just a little bit of rust on both, not much at all -- and the rust will come right off of the chrome pipes New leather front seats Back seats are vinyl; the upholstery on the back seats is in poor condition; the back seats could benefit from reupholstering Exterior color is plum Interior color is black Clear title The State of Ohio did an inspection of the car when I retitled it in Ohio; however, the inspection wasn't what you'd call comprehensive -- just a cursory state inspection required to get a state-issued title Important Note: In the photos, you will see an SS tag on the front of the car, but this car does not have an SS VIN and IS NOT an SS/Super Sport Nova (a previous owner must have just stuck the emblem on there). Another Important Note: I have included photographs of the motor prior to rebuild, during rebuild, and after rebuild -- and each of these is marked with the year 2008 plus a brief description. All pictures marked this way were taken in March of 2008. All photos not marked "2008" are current pictures taken days before this listing, and they show the overall condition of the vehicle. Whatever dents, dings, and other issues you find in the photographs are what you will find on the actual car itself. The car is located in Athens, Ohio, where you will need to pick it up (or else arrange and pay for shipping/transport yourself). While not my preference, I will consider delivering the car within a 150-mile radius of Athens, Ohio, at a cost of $2 per mile each way. I ask for a nonrefundable $200 down payment via PayPal after auction close, and the balance is due via cashier's check or cash, in U.S. currency, upon pickup of the car. Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or want more information. I will respond promptly.On Jan-07-12 at 13:37:40 PST, seller added the following information: The last two photos are a picture of the trunk and rear interior floor. The floor in the cabin is carpeted and has no holes. I have no way of pulling the carpet up without having to fasten the whole thing again. The floor pans were replaced in 2006. I can't get under the car to photograph the frame of the underside of the floor. They are both in good condition. I haven't a chance to clean out the trunk or interior yet, but I will uponsale.
