Default Re: Need advice/help on another Nova

That is a really good looking car! However, be cautious bec/ its been spiffed pretty hard.

Things to ask / look for:

1. Get a clean pic of the trim tag, we can tell you if all that fancy gingerbread belongs on that car or not.

2. Get a pic of the drivers side rear wheel well area, need to see the dual exhaust plate.

3. Ask for the paperwork, if there's only been 3 owners in 44 years there should be something floating. See if the Broadcast sheet was found in the seats.

4. Get a better look at the core support, it as the big holes for a/c.

5. The valve covers appear to have been clear coated and then turned color due to engine heat - or something...

6. Missing the fender liner dust shields.

7. Get the codes from the engine, trans and rear.

8. For the money, the carpeting should not be faded like that.

9. Steering wheel is definitely wrong.

10. The quarters have been replaced, at least the passenger side, because the full 'phone' is not there.

11. Seat belts look incorrect, they are the fancy brushed version, but are likely from another type of car as the retractors are not for a Nova bench seat car. The Novas had retractors through 06A of '70, but went sans in 06B.

12. These easy items are out of place, the side view mirrors, painted splash pan, repro rear bumper, rear speakers, no big deal on these things though.

Hope this helps.
