1970 nova not a ss

[skyjack99]

hi guys, want some advice about a 1970 nova completer restore for sale and the guy wants 30 grand is this to high for this car ? it has a 396 4 speed no power streering and still has points . the car has a nice paint job and underneath is nice!! thx for the help

$30,000 is way too high. Hagerty values a 70 Nova with a concours resto at $24,000. 99% of people don't do concours. Excellent resto is valued at $19,400, and good at $14,900.

The guy sounds like he has his head in the clouds and is trying to get out of it what he has into it. That's not how it works with cars. I doubt even with common sense and proof that his asking price is too high he will want to budge on the price.

Skyjack - Where is this thing? I gotta go see a $30K Nova. My neighbor in Winnebago has one and it's very pretty, but it's not anywhere near a $30K car (and IS an SS).

It seems apparent that the owner doesn't actually want to sell it for some reason.

Me personally I would go for a Chevelle over a Nova anyway. Was at a car show yesterday and there was a nice black Chevelle SS there. My uncle is one of the coordinators of the show and he had asked me which car I would take, and I said, easy, the black Chevelle over there. He just chuckled and said good choice.
