Item location: Portland, Oregon, United States
Description:
1967 Chevrolet Nova
Things to note:This is a low stance daily driver, with all of the kinks worked out and/or listed below.
It has a custom mp3 stereo w/sub below the dash (see photo of dash), working heat/defrost, alarm system, hood lock, custom passenger side view mirror in the antennae mount hole, modern windshield wipers.
replaced original distributor with HEI electronic ignition 2013
replaced broken wiper fluid pump system with electric pump and dash button 2016
replaced turn signal switch assembly inside steering column 2016
engine compartment is clean and maintained, plugs and oil change October 2016
10 bolt rear-end rear differential, not sure if it has positraction or not
rock chip and some haziness in windshield. all other glass is good, for 50 yrs old.
floor pans replaced2013 - cut out rust, welded and riveted seams to good steel. car still leaks in heavy oregon rain, but new pans are coated and equipped with drain holes in low spots. new floors look good on top but didn't get fully cleaned up underneath (can be seen in chassis photos).
new cat whiskers on door windows and tailgate window 2013, but they still don't seal all the way unfortunately. all weatherstripping and other window seals still need to be replaced. this would fix the leak issue that has kept me from installing carpet to reduce road noise...
1 bbl rochester carburetor, so this car gets around with decent fuel economy for a "muscle car" or "cruiser." 24 mpg on all highway trip & 16 mpg average in-town during fall 2016 use.
rear monoleaf drop suspension rides fine and appears to be without corrosion. It could probably use a new set of shackle bushings($100). I would also consider replacing the monoleafs ($300) at the same time, based on the amount of wear and fatigue that the old front coil springs exhibited.
tuned up 250 c.i. inline six cylinder engine leaks a small amount of oil out of rear main seal - enough to notice on the ground and on the transmission, but so far not enough to run low before next 3000 mile oil change. This engine had 150 HP stock, but I don't think those horses are all there after nearly 50 years. compression is 85-95 PSI on all cylinders
power steering and radiator have both leaked in the past and were repaired with stop leak fluids. I will include a new aluminum replacement radiator that I have on hand in the sale.
rear window does not lock, but rolls up and down as it should.
back seat door windows are not connected to their regulators, so you have to roll them downandpush them down. but they roll up as they should.
front seat windows work correctly
signals and lights all work. rewired one of the signals that had a faulty socket.
re-stuffed seats 2013. seat covers are not original. they are not an exact match, but old enough to fool the eye.
good headliner and working dome light.
custom door panels, steering wheel, grille bowtie, powerglide emblem on gate, nova emblems, wiper fluid system, e-brake handle, 1974 250 c.i. engine block, seatbelts, floor mats, and probably a few other items are not original parts.
this 1967 x-body chevy ii nova wagon has some bondo in the rocker panels, but rust was fully removed from those spots in 2013. the tailgate has its largest and only visible patch of bondo at its base... This car has very imperfect custom paint -clear-coated satin black, with blue show-through, gold/chrome accents & light rainbow flake. the original blue-painted interior trim is awesome. this car gets a lot of attention out on the street. it has been mechanically evaluated by several shops and refurbished, lightly restored to be a no-worries custom daily driver "rat rod" substitute for a motorcycle, that is safe enough to take my kids for a ride. this car is great just as it is, or a great starting place for a full hot rod restoration to double or triple its value.
