Very good ! Love you do care about originality !
Had a 71 nova ss - they only came with the 350 - Hood and trim look to be from a 69, 100% clone on this one. Love you show Steve.
Small block better fit and drive.
Yep the big block was dropped in x bodies after 1970. It might be a real SS but it wasn't ever a BB car from the factory.
My first car was a 72 Nova SS 350 4 speed. Bright red on black with a quarter vinyl roof and rally wheels. I was cruising in style back in 1980 when I was 16.
Had three buddies who owned '70 Novas, 396/375 hp with a 4 sps. Also a couple friends who had the '66 L79 325/350 hp Novas. Big fan of Chevy II/Novas
They stopped big blocks in 1970 in 1971 and up the largest engine is a 350 270hp in a SS. "DONT GET SUCKERD" as a Novas owner this is a $23K to $27K car.
I wish they had stuck with the lower front fender emblems. The "Super Sport" was really a nice touch on the '68 models.
Love the 68 with super sport on rocker panel
Really like the car. She's been pieced together from different stuff. '70 was the last year for a big block Nova. Small blocks after that. Still a nice car. Presents well. Rather have the stock steering wheel. Hood is from a '69. Best looking hood IMO. Thx for the upload.
Steve my wife and I are big fans of yours and we’re friends of Danny and Gregg and the gang. We’re so excited to see you working with HOC, a perfect match!! Great job on these videos, what a great presentation!
Steve, I’m disappointed in you. You should know there were no big block Novas after 1970. That was the last year for the 396, really a 402. That car is a cloned SS. Without a build sheet, impossible to tell if it’s a real SS. Oh, and that bumper filler panel should be argent silver, not body color. Nice car though.
Bingo! You are totally correct. The steering wheel is also incorrect. Lastly, the large reverse lenses in the tail lights are 1972, not 1971.
to many mistakes on this one pure wannabe this nova
no point watching this anymore
People are wanna be enthusiasts…. Just enjoy the classic and move on.
@@iamOAKland Not when they are trying to ask real big block money for a fake.
I like your honesty about what the cars are. Nice having a listing of the mods to get build ideas. Can you set them up as Day 2's? Cragars, air shocks, 50's MTs.
I told my nephew RPM gauge stood for Really Pissed Moms the higher the amount of rotations the more Really Pissed Moms he believed me LMAO
You are absolutely right
I had new 71 Nova SS and the engine was a 270 horse 350
Not all Nova Super Sports had the rocker molding. I believe that is a trim appearance group option that could be ordered on any Nova and also included the door frame aluminum anodized moldings which are not chrome and not stainless as often described. Steve is great with the Mopars!
Trunk lid, trunk pan? Its all the same.
Correct. The rocker trim is not an SS part. It and the chrome around the side windows was part of the RPO-ZJ2 Custom Exterior Package Package. However, there should be another thinner piece of trim above the rocker trim that goes across the lower fender, door, and quarter panel (before and after the wheel openings) with black paint between the two trims.
@@NovaResource correct!
Great car Steve had a 71 with a 6 cylinder 3 speed column shift would run forever no matter how hard I drove it for I a teenager early 80s
Sorry, Steve. Chevy stopped putting 396 engines in the Nova in mid-May. No big block Novas in 1971 or beyond.
My old ‘72 Nova was yellow with a black vinyl top. Not a SS, but it was a great looking car. I hope to find it and buy it back…someday.
Thats beautiful
OMG , I want this car
I’ve literally sold over 2000 cars in my career and whenever I placed an ad I always included a ‘list’ price (against the grain of many dealers) so as not to waste my time or the customers’ with needless inquiries. And yes, I get why the dealers want the calls but I was the busiest salesman and did many ads on my own. Retired at 47 (semi anyway...got into musclecars as a hobby later). Just saying :)
Great vid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"The Magnante Magnet". I see a marketing opportunity, Steve.
Had a friend with one of these. One of the scariest cars I have ever driven. I had a '64 Nova with a 300 hp 327 and a four speed. Way more sensible.
I had a 69 - 396-375 hp. It could change lanes if you booted 355 gears M400 auto!
Hi Steve. Keep up the great work but like some of the other comments on here there were no 396 Nova's made for 1971.
In high school a guy had a 70 Nova SS L48 350 4 speed 12 bolt 3:90 posi. Black Vinyl top over Cortez silver. That car would beat anything in a stop light race. Launched hard.
My old '71 was a 250 six and powerglide that I dropped a 283 that came out of a totaled 1960 Corvette in it. That Nova got up and went with that 'Vette engine.
My favorite muscle car
Hey Steve magneto
Kool video
With all the aftermarket parts on this car "keep that magnet in your pocket"
He did a good job only sticking the magnet to everywhere he already knew there wasn’t bondo 😂
Come on over test urself. I’m buying lunch
They are after market replacement panels
Had a 71 Nova SS back in 71, could only get 350 cu. inch engine, wanted 396 cu. inch, ordered from the factory with four speed Muncie shifter. $3500:00 lol!!
More and more SS cars everyday.
Its about how much can we get out of you. Nice car though but not a true car
It has the big block heater core. What about the factory welded bracket on the drivers rear frame rail for dual exhust?
I put a small block 327 in mine , aluminum hi rise intake ,MSD distributor and multi spark box, Stainless Steel headers , 11 inch clutch ,
M-21 Muncie 4 speed Trans , 12 bolt posi with traction bars , rear mount battery and rear mount radiator
Very cool ♪
Definitely a clone or resto mod. a rose is a rose, but a real beauty.
Nice car, however, the driver side door has some noticeable fitment issues. The bottom right sticks out and the window frame does not match the lines of the rear window frame. May just need an adjustment (which you'd think the sellers would have done before doing a video) or the unibody has been tweaked making adjustment and correct fitment impossible.
My dad had a ‘68 Novs with a 3 something motor back in 1970
My brother in law
Had a 70 426 bad ass car
Thankfully they left stock size wheels.
Neat Nova, I prefer one in dark green.
Great car
I'll take the 340 71 Cuda behind you😉
Drive like a sport, pay like a sport!
I had a 76’ nova with the big 250 straight 6
It had a hairlip from hitting a deer 🦌 in the road
Lol I'm not really a yellow car guy but imo I think the Nova's pull off the "Daytona Yellow" the best from all the Chevys looks wise
GREAT SHOW, EVEN BETTER YOU DID NOT CALL IT A CRAWL..
The 389 out 375 HP my 1970 Challenger with 440 Magnum was 375 HP but it did have 490 fp tork
You didn’t mention tires at all , are they modern radials to look period proper?
Beware Please , There was no 12 bolt rear ends in 71" all of them SS or not came with a Corporate 10 bolt 8.5-inch ring gear.
I sold my 71 SS 4 SPEED last year.. was a great car. I got a 70 mach1 351 cleveland shaker car I'm restoring so I'm happy with it
I would love to put a 2006 Atlas 6 in one. If that so not a enough, a turbo should fit. A mild boost is 400 HP. The 460LE should fit too.
It may like moving 1000 lbs less than a T-Blazer too. But the front springs. Yes the Alas is a bit lighter than the big block
I was born in the wrong era. I grew up with mostly front wheel drive garbage. It would've been so awesome to grow up when these cars were everywhere
Get one. Your choice.
396/402 big block was a option from 1968-70 but correct me if I’m wrong anyway 454 would be a great option if Chevrolet would allow it to be in the nova as a Central Office Production Order for drag racers in the 70s
Very nice, but bright Yellow doesn't do that car any favors. Quick look at color chart, showed code #519 dark yellow to be a slightly different shade.
A few small BB and SS factoids, ...ALL big block Nova's moved the heater core outlets to middle of the heater box to avoid the large cylinder heads(which this car has) AND a factory SS hood has small tabs attached to inner structure, that strengthen the attaching point for the hood louvers. Also yes, all SS Nova's had power disc brakes AND a 12 bolt posi, with 5 leaf springs.
Thanks for sharing.
Positraction was optional and not standard on any 1968-1970 Super Sport Nova. Just like any other Chevrolet of this period. Disc brakes and power brakes were also optional in 1968 on the Nova Super Sport. Non Power Front drum brakes were standard on the 1968 Nova Super Sport. It wasn't until 1969 that power disc brakes were standard on a Super Sport Nova, just like the 1969 Chevelle SS396. I have owned my 1969 Nova Super Sport since 1988. It is all original. It is a 350 car and has power disc brakes which are standard equipment.
The car doesn’t know the difference? Maybe not, but a serious buyer should!
Can't believe someone put a edelbrock carb on that. I tried one and that was one too many, keep a quadrajet instead of that if you have something against a Holly carb.
a beaut
I had a 1970 SS 396 375 4 speed
you know how many of them old novas we used to buy for 100 bucks build up to a dragter ? a good 15 to 20
Chrome trim doesn't line up at top of door with rear side fixed window...wonder why? otherwise looks pretty good!!!!!!
They have nice cars. Hopefully there not charging SS. $ for a clone.
If only you knew the number of burnouts this car did in the 90’s
Magnet sticks "most" places I put it. Got it. ;+)
How much can you buy one of these for in the USA ??
What was the sell price of this car?
I had a 72 250 straight 6 three on tree .
Center line crags.
Drive it anywhere
Misnomer; In Spanish, the expresión,”no va”, is for it/he/she doesn’t/isn’t go/going. However, if you notice, the Spanish expression are two words; “no” and “va” [present tense of go].
“Nova” carries its Latin definition of “new”.
I do agree, the motor has plenty of go. 🤗
You are totally correct! “Nova” and “No Va” are two different things in Spanish. Just like “notable” and “no table” mean two different things in English. Steve is perpetuating a myth that has been debunked for years.
I don't think it matters if its a replica BB or not meaning a TRUE 396 car if the engine is a 454.
Will the numbers tell if it's an LS-6 with 450 hp or the 390 hydraulic version? LS-6 had the 4 bolt, 11 to 1 pistons and the solid cam just like the 427/425. Hopefully if they put so much work into that it wasn't a mix and match garage engine build. With some tuning and good traction should be a 12 second car
Man those back tires look huge. What size are they ?
Ptoobig-15
Don't you think the sheet metal could have been replaced
Nice imitation
lots of 307-2 cars out there im sure
Does nova not mean new ?
‘71’s did not come with any motor over the SBC 350.
nice looking car and almost period correct no matter how you slice it. Too bad they don't tell us the asking price.
as far as carby is a little small for the 454 v8 = 775 cfm maximum = we always used a780 cfm for the big chev = a 750 cm would suit a stock 427 v8 ! sir . = 600 = 302 650 = 350 750= 427 =780 454 = unless they are big hp modded engines = put another 100 cfm at least !
71 reverse lens were rectangular - this one has 72 square reverse lens
Late 71 had square reverse lenses
Appears to be a lot of envy in these comments!
GM stopped putting bb 396 in novas in 1970 and SS would have have factory tach in instrument panel where fuel gauge is non SS. Nice looking car though
Tachometer was optional. Not an SS item.
they did not put big blocks in 1971 Novas
I think the GM 14 inch rally wheels are 14x7...not 14x6.
They are not Rally wheels. They are 1969 or 1970 SS or Super Sport wheels. They only came 14 X 7.
This particular car has Factory 14 X 7 up front and 15 x 8 aftermarket wheels in the back. The way you can tell is the aftermarket trim ring on the 15 x 8. Poor choice as those rear tires are going to rub the fenders for sure.
Fun car. Not an investment quality car, but who cares? As long as it's not being presented as something it not, buy it, drive it and have fun.
People like this is why they have sky rocketed . Trying to get rich on one sale. Knowing it's not a number matching car. Car is only worth 20 grand tops
1973 454 engine in it.
So... it's not a factory 396 car (no such thing in '71) and that's not a 396 under the hood...
This guys a walking encyclopedia on American cars of all kinds. I'm surprised he didn't mention that there were no big block factory Nova's after 1970. The funny thing is if you watch any of the big auctions, restomods and none original cars are bringing as much money as actual factory number matching cars.
Could be a destroked 454 maybe it's a 427
The hood is incorrect...should have raised islands for the louvers....drivers door needs pins and bushings
Steve I'm not a 100% certain but I don't believe a big block was available in 71. I don't think that grill is supposed to be black on A 71.I believe 70 is the only year that the grill was black however I'm sure if I'm wrong someone will point that out
55K and no Clock
Oh come on now why would an $18,000 car be $55,000?
@@natew8882 ur so right...the bs markup on wanna be ss clone cars is mindblowing ..but some fool will pay $55k for this $20-$25k nova
Give a price
No 396 engines were put in any novas after 1970
So it’s a fake
$ 55 K for this Nova ? are you serious ? 🤦🏻♂
Yeah but the 73 454 is no comparison to a 396/402 of 70 and 71 really if they are stock internals
Bad to the Bone
You guys, 69' 70' rims what happen to the 71' rally rims you know why, because they don't make them aftermarket just like everything on this car is aftermarket.
69' and 70' only
My mom bought a 72 nova rally sport off the show room floor, 52$ a month payment!
No such thing as a Rally Sport Nova. Only the 1971-72 Rally Nova (no sport) or the 1977-79 Nova Rally (also, no sport). Rally Sport was a Camaro option, not Nova.
