I took a quick look at the photo gallery...overall a good starting point, but not a benchmark restoration. There are lots of items that need attention [both technical and cosmetic]...good example is the interior. 731 is the 'taxi cab' grade vinyl seats and rubber floor mats...they used the deluxe seat covers and carpeting. Common for these cars since the correct seats and rubber floor are difficult to source. The seller's claim of an "original interior" is at best incorrect considering most folks don't know the details.

The other item that jumps out is the small block rad cover connected to the fan shroud...all big block cars had a rubber flap with t-wing style snap clips.

Looks like the trans may be a replacement unit based on the stamping...hard to tell from the photo which Muncie it is


The shipper lists the exterior decor package which included the b/s molding and brite window trim...this was a popular trim option for that era Nova...no mention of the vinyl roof or drip rail moldings. The A2 on the trim tag confirms this...

That green is a sharp color and this car could be taken to the next level, but you will spend some money to do it...$5-10k easily...more if you want a correct exhaust, repro wide ovals, etc.
