1970 nova survivor orig paint etc.....
 

This is a super nice orig nova survivor car orig paint,interior,drivetrain etc unrestored,it would be the perfect yenko deuce clone car, why? because its golbie beige(deuce color)with bare bones interior(deuce interior)63,000 orig miles and never driven or left out in the rain.The paint and interior are amazing for 42 yrs old probally the nicest ull find ,its a base eng car with p/s and turbo hydro trans thats it ,u will see in the pics that all the neat little orig stuff that everybody tries to hunt down when restoring there cars is still there like the front plate plastic spacers,the nut covers for the emblems and something that u will never see even on survivor novas is the orig rear quarter panel to trunk extension cardboard fillers still glued into place.The orig owner could,nt stand the rubber floor mat so when the car was a few months old he went to the dealer and they installed a orig gm carpet,but to my surprise when i lifted up the carpet to snap a few pics of the floors the rubber mat was underneath(ooyeaa!!)the jack assy has never been used and the trunk is the nicest u will ever find along with the floor pans etc (orig splatter etc)I know this isn,t a muscle car but if your restoring a 70 deuce,l78,gibb,dana,nickey or anything of statue this car is a gold mine for parts or a trubite of anykind...asking 21,500 o.b.o thanks 570-854-0896 possible trades up/down

I've had quite a few also and never seen those.But I've seen the stud protectors....

Re: 1970 nova survivor orig paint etc.....
 

Never seen the cardboard extensions before, interesting!

Re: 1970 nova survivor orig paint etc.....
 

Never saw them in a 70. Neither of the 70s I bought new had them. I've seen remnants in 68s, and one early 69.

I'd wonder about that spare. Never saw a white lettered tire on an original Nova in 70.

The Nova Police are at it [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/youguysrock.gif[/img]

Scott,

I do believe the asking price of your beautiful Nova just went UP!

Re: 1970 nova survivor orig paint etc.....
 

I ordered a 70 Nova SS in Dec. 69, got it in Jan. 1970, it did not have the trunk extensions , and it came with White Wall Tires, uck, I don't remember if I could have ordered White Letter Tires, it may have been available as an option, and the option cost may have been more than I wanted to pay,I don't remember all the small details, I do remember it was a great car, and fast.

Re: 1970 nova survivor orig paint etc.....
 

Is it possible they came on a Buick or Olds version of a Nova? Later model year perhaps?

Re: 1970 nova survivor orig paint etc.....
 

I also have never seen these cardboard inserts...perhaps they were placed their like plastic on the seats...then removed during new car prep??

As for the spare...I doubt that is a factory spare tire for a 1970...the white letter option didn't come out until 71 or 72. It is certainly a vintage looking tire...I would suggest double checking the wheel size...standard wheels for base cars would be 14 x 5 plain steel...14 x 6 size was optional...the wide ovals (E70 x 14) normally were installed on 14 x 7 in 1970 (rally, SS or XT) It was more than likely added at some point...

Now back to the car...very solid looking survivor...would make a great platform for a hotrod, Deuce/SS clone, or sleeper.

Good luck..wilma

No discounting at all what scott is showing us,but could those cardboard inserts be instead well thought out homemades?

My father made a similar looking inserts for our 65 Mustang,when we would go fishing and the tackle box would sometimes roll over &amp; open on the corners.He hated having to fish his had down there and get stuck with a lure.
My dad liked to take curves fast..

Re: 1970 nova survivor orig paint etc.....

The Mustangs came with pressboard extensions, no need for cardboard ones ...

They DID warp when they got wet ... whether from holes rusting through them or poor seals, the cooler spilling, etc

Re: 1970 nova survivor orig paint etc.....
 

We bought ours used some 12 years after &amp; there were no inserts in it by then.
The 1/4's were solid.

Re: 1970 nova survivor orig paint etc.....
 

A buddy of mine got a 12K mile 70 375HP car in 79, The car interior still smelled new. With the exception of the motor everything was still intact (for a few months anyways) and those where not present.

Re: 1970 nova survivor orig paint etc.....
 

If I had that little jewel I would leave it just like it is. I dont understand why anyone would turn a nice car like that into something its not. I think its beautiful like it is

Re: 1970 nova survivor orig paint etc.....
 

The trunk cardboard inserts are no doubt factory pieces they are still glued with a foam looking substance to the extension and never removed or touched.The car orig had the ugly rally wheels which i have and had a double white wall tire they are mint.I checked the brakes while i had the wheels off and even all the shoes etc are orig units.I found a build sheet in the car that didn,t belong to this car along with the orig sheet for the car..kinda weird i thought in the same seats.

Re: 1970 nova survivor orig paint etc.....
 

Not unusual on the seats/build sheet. Seen that a few times.

Re: 1970 nova survivor orig paint etc.....
 

Pretty common on the broadcast sheets in the seats. I'd suspect that the cardboard items were typically removed during dealer prep, neat item to see though - a first for most of us. The double white wall tires are also typical, you can see them in the brochure pics.

Re: 1970 nova survivor orig paint etc.....
 

What do you think the purpose of the inserts for shipping would've been,that they would've been removed during dealer prep?

Re: 1970 nova survivor orig paint etc.....
 

IMO, they were not removed during dealer prep but were put there to keep things from rolling down into the abyss. Some Mopars did this, even my stripped down, cheapo, '62 Plymouth has them.

Re: 1970 nova survivor orig paint etc.....
 

just a thought but do u think it mattered what wheels u had??this car had rally wheels orig and the trim was shipped in the trunk...do u think they were there so nothing fell into that area and got lost?

Re: 1970 nova survivor orig paint etc.....
 

I agree 100% Tony!! To many hot rod Novas out there.

Just to keep stuff out of there during shipment,

These were Production albeit very limited use. There is even a TSB on them. Probably designed to cover the gap left by the 1970 sheet metal change of that part of the trunk.

Re: 1970 nova survivor orig paint etc.....
