Buying a 1971 Nova (Need Help)
Hey guys heres the issue. I am going to be taking a 7 hour round trip to look at this 1971 Nova that I will be buying for about $5K. Here is what I know so far about the vehicle...
- 355 Engine - 650 Double Pumped - Edelbrock Intake - 3500 Stall Converter - 350 Turbo Trans + Shift Kit - Automatic Car - 4 Cor Radiator - Enginer "Runs" - Needs a new starter and battery (Out of car) - Rebuilt Crank - GT Steering - Bucket Seats - Some interior new - 2 1/2 in. Cowl Hood - Garage kept for 5 years - Aftermarket Fan - Aftermarket Valve Covers - Brakes need bleeding - Transmission Cooler - New trunk pan - Traction Bars So guys I wanted to know one major thing and another pretty major thing. 1 is the price fair? It really is a gorgeous car and looks soooooo clean, but like I said going to see it in person in a few days. Second is I did some reasearch. The new starter will be about $150 and battery is about $300. He says these are the only issues, I am more than happy to spend that to get the car up and running, but what should I do to check out the car, it was garage kept so I doubt the engine is seized up, but what should I check, and/or do to look over the car and check to see if the only issue really are those two parts. I hear people saying see if you can manually crank the engine? How is that done, and what other things should I check on the car. Thanks guys. |
