'70 4-cyl Nova
Don't see too many of these 4-cylinder Novas with their original mill....

I've never heard of a 4 cylinder beyond the mid sixties in a Chevy II/Nova. Look at that radiator extension...crazy. It would probably be a conversation piece at a car show with the hood open. Not 16k interesting...
Interesting that it has an SS hood. Wonder if that came about with the repaint...

Reminds me of the radiator shrouding on my 69 GT. Standard engine is the 1.9. Mine is one of the few with a 1.1. Engine sits back so far that the F/R bias is almost 50/50. Probably is about 50/50 now that I relocated the battery to the back.
For $10k this would be a great start to an LS swap. Reminds me of Wayne's Plain Jane project, but without the original paint.

A "postal Nova"? If used for rural mailbox type delivery, that must have been tons o' fun with a 3 on the tree
I'm thinking those are not OEM seat covers, correct?

The old "Iron Duke". I stripped a 68 Nova identical to this in the eighty's (other than it was rusted beyond an eighty's fix) just for the ash tray, and some small other parts. The engine still ran like a top.

I knew the four banger was available in the first gen Novas but I have never seen one in this generation Nova. Cool 😎 car.

70 Nova...
Interesting car....you don't see many of these. They typically came with the Torque-Drive transmission. Pretty sure 70 was the last year for this engine option...though I think the radiator fan shroud extension is probably rarer than the engine.
The interior has the rubber floor coverings, which indicates the base/taxi cab interior...the seats have been recovered. Body looks like it will need some work...so unless you want the 'patina'...there are likely better choices out there for a starting point. -wilma

There's no way it was a daily mail box model like like, but could have been for package delivery ? Lynn is right, it would be a decent start to an LS conversion, but even at 10k, the cost is too high. Again, it's a neat and rarely seen car, but what value does that hold for a base, utilitarian car ?

Unless I am missing some rust issues, I don't know where you find a relatively rust free 70 model "anything" (Chevy, Ford, Mopar, AMC) for $10k these days. Maybe I am wrong.
Would also make a KILLER Yenko Deuce clone. And, with the 4 cyl. VIN, it would clearly be a clone, so no one can accuse you of "faking" a Deuce. BTW, if someone wants to do that I have a late 69 built L46 with the LT-1 cam that would work perfectly for such a clone.
