fyi: they have the plain basket weave covers for the 70 deuce bench seat interior.

as for the 70 gold nova sold at mecum...nice looking car. Headlite bezels are wrong, should be E70 tires, not F70...and yes the hood molding looks weird. rear is non-posi. not sure, but i thought 4 speed cars didn't get the heat tube for the air cleaner..but that might have changed for 1970. that's a lot of $$ for a small block super sport.

I'm surprised you missed the fact they painted the entire side louver too...

You could see the holes that were filled in on the driver side front part of the hood where the Nova emblem was placed. Lot of money for small block Nova. Top bidder might of had a few to many drinks, what do you think??
Word on the street is that its a repro hood, creating the molding issue.

My Buddy was out there and saw this Nova in person. He texted me photos of it. He said it looked really nice in person with the exception of the obvious issues mentioned above. I was really shocked that it did 70.

Repro hoods are not that bad. Its a 73/74.

Its hard to fathom that someone installed that hood and displayed it in public.

I don't know that I agree. We had a spare hood that I believe was from a '73-74 and we added '67 Chevelle SS hood "bumps" to the center. I think it was a 73-74 because of the emblem holes we filled, but I can't be positive. Anyway, it worked fine, and the hood molding looked normal on a '70.

There might be something else going on with this car, or maybe my hood was a 68-72 hood that someone drilled for the 73-74 emblem? Very possible, as I do not know the origin of the hood, and I didn't really pay attention as to whether holes were drilled or stamped.

My buddy just installed a AMD repro hood on his 68 Nova after hitting a deer and the fit was perfect.

Something way not right. I believe he must have liked the color combo, and some stuff just didn't matter.
