RIVERSIDE CA, someone to check 69 Nova

anyone that can do a quick look at a 69 nova in Riverside CA. Just need to make sure it is a running solid driver. No real Nova expertise required. Deadline tomorrow.

Thanks.

Chris...is this that one Nova we were talking about???

How about calling Dana (427freak) at Playtoys http://www.classicantiquekars.com/ 909-797-1111 ...and see if he can help?

Re: RIVERSIDE CA, someone to check 69 Nova

My thoughts exactly. Dana drives by Riverside on the way home.

No, I DON'T plan on painting it. Only original once. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif

Re: So Cal Patina 69 Nova

I liked that car. You are right only original once. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: So Cal Patina 69 Nova

Yes Rob, and we are planning a drive train upgrade right now. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif

Re: So Cal Patina 69 Nova

I have a nice Cali car already for ya..... Just sitting in garage https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif What are the plans for that nova.

Re: So Cal Patina 69 Nova

Rob I remember when you got that granny nova and the recent photos and video in the for sale section was a real motivator in making this purchase decision. The plans include an engine upgrade (probably a small block) and possibly a 5 speed trans. Budget will dictate how much gets done this winter.
The CA black plates match the orig title and hopefully it will be delivered in time for a local show in two weeks. I am hoping to get it done just a little faster than NJ Steve's Trans Am https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

Re: RIVERSIDE CA, someone to check 69 Nova

Wow, now that is some "patina". Do you have any more pics of it?? I wish mine would have "weathered" a little more like that instead of the paint just flaking off!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smirk.gif

Re: So Cal Patina 69 Nova

The photographers that shot the car were very careful to leave out the more undesirable aspects of the vehicle. Interior is completely shot (we kinda guessed that) and a couple of small dents also escaped the camera lens.

Sadly my son is wondering how I convinced him to purchase this https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif and wants to trade for my Chevelle.

I believe it is 75000 original miles because I have never heard a 307 run so good https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif I have more pictures but I am babysitting my granddaughter now and will try to post this evening.

I need a 745 Interior. Dark green bench. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

We picked up a new bumper and a few other items at Carlisle. Nice worn black buckets were $1000.00 pair, I should have gotten them too.

Re: So Cal Patina 69 Nova

The black plates look like they haven't been moved in 40 years. Old plastic frame remnants acting as washers under screw caps.

Re: So Cal Patina 69 Nova

That is a nice find. The riverside sun baked her pretty good.

One of them is good and the other, well, it's not so good.

Re: So Cal Patina 69 Nova

I pulled both motors and trannys tonight. Short story is the Nova's motor is worn, dried out and dirty and almost burst into flames. Long story is, the kid spent a gear/clutch in my Chevelle, he was using it while I went over the Nova. I am giving him my motor while I explore my transmission options.

I know the 65/50 on the firewall is the paint. what is the "M" ?

Re: So Cal Patina 69 Nova

Okay, got the 350 in and running nice. Finished up the exhaust today and Mike did some touching up of the grill. Still trying to convince him not to paint it. We start the interior this week.

Re: So Cal Patina 69 Nova

I would keep it this way for a few shows. Not many people get to see a car this original, with original paint. Even if it has a bad sunburn. You can spray with wd-40 and wipe it down, to help keep the look without further rust progression.

69 Nova Shoulder straps

I like spray it with WD40 !! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

We started to yank the interior today. The original owner may have subscribed to the Italian myth that throwing change in the car is good luck. There were several pre 1969 coins that had very sharp edges stuck deep under the carpet. A few other items that I will photograph as we go along.

As for a second set of seat belts for the shoulder harness, there is no sign they ever existed. So the occupants had the option of using lap or shoulder belts, but not both ?

anyone? I won't reinstall the shoulder straps if that is the case. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif
