This 1970 Chevrolet Nova is a well-preserved, family-owned classic, originally purchased by the seller’s grandfather from Allen Gwynn Chevrolet in Glendale, California. It has remained in the family since 1975 and is now offered with 64,000 miles on the odometer.
Finished in Cranberry Red, the Nova retains much of its original character, with some paintwork blending in the right quarter panel due to an accident repair in the 1980s. The car shows some fading on the roof, minor dents, and rust in the right rear wheel well, but overall, it has been carefully stored and driven periodically since 2005.
Under the hood, this Nova is powered by its original 307ci V8, paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. It benefits from power-assisted steering and brakes, making it a smooth and easy cruiser. A tune-up in July 2019 included new spark plugs, filters, and an oil change, ensuring it remains in running condition.
The black interior features a reupholstered bench seat, rubber floor mats, and an aftermarket steering wheel wrap. While the air conditioning system is present, it does not currently blow cold. Additional amenities include a period-correct cassette deck. The headliner has separated at the seams, reflecting the car’s original character.
Included with the sale are factory literature, service records, original registration cards dating back to 1976, a set of blue California license plates, and a clean California title in the owner’s name.
A true survivor with a well-documented family history, this 1970 Chevrolet Nova is a fantastic opportunity for an enthusiast looking to own a piece of classic American muscle.
