I bought this 1970 SS 396 / 375hp L78 Nova from Stefano Bimbi the owner of Nickey Chevrolet. Stefano has known this car for over 20 years and he has information about this car back to the second owner in the early 80s. He has a collection of some of the most desirable muscle cars in the country and has a reputation as one of the best in the business. I bought this car to keep for a very long time because it is almost perfect in my eyes but I now want another 1969 Camaro Z/28 instead. This Nova SS 396 is in exceptional condition and shows only 20,300 mile on the odometer. The frame off nut and bolt restoration was done before I bought the car and they used many of its original correct parts. The quality and attention to detail is one of the best that I have seen. This car has been driven on rare occasion but it could be a local car show winning trailer queen with very little detailing. It is equipped with the SS package and the highest horsepower motor available from the factory the L/78 396/375HP big block. These motors came with all the best parts available from Chevrolet at the time. This Nova is also equipped with a Muncie 4-speed transmission, power front disc brakes, 3:55 gear ratio 12-bolt posi rear end, multi leaf rear springs, 14"x7" 5-spoke steel wheels including the spare, original style white letter bias ply tires, special hood and SS badges. The car was repainted it’s original color fathom blue and has black interior per the original trim tag on the firewall.  This car was restored with a correct original date-coded CKO code motor that still has the original stampings from the factory, 661 case Muncie 4-speed transmission and CBT coded 12-bolt 3:55 posi. All the floors, trunk pan, firewall, rockers and sheet metal look original with no repair work that I can find but like any car this age it is not 100% perfect. I know these cars well and this car is real not a clone. I have not found the original build sheet or any paperwork yet. The information is out there or is in the car and finding it would double the value of this very special car but I have not had the time to follow up on the leads provided to me. Before you bid or make an offer I would welcome having the car professionally inspected at my home. The license plates and frames are not included with the sale of this car. E-mail me at oldz28@gmail.com if you have any questions or if you want more pictures or call me at 714-516-3148 and thanks for looking.
