Nice Nova love those novas

[@theariesexperiment4642]

If she had 65 Chevelle SS low back bucket seats and a Tremec 6 speed w/SS console that had the gauge package ,....... she'd be perfection.

[@BAD4U22]

Beautiful car

[@MaudeFerguson]

For $37k the trim needs to line up. And it needs after market A/C . A $22k car with a $10k motor , IMHO.

[@hackertheslacker]

Also Power Steering

[@TheNateCain]

Nice!!💯💯💯

[@c.pc.5805]

Look at the lower A arms and core support. Someone put it back together at some point. Has road rash on the lower arms. It's OK maybe 20k not what he wants. 10 bolt? Did all that didn't put in a 9 inch or a 8.8 in it? OK they can keep it

[@maga7579]

Well, there's a sucker born every day... 😵‍💫

[@nicandre7943]

$37k for a bench seat column shift Nova?!? Good lord prices are getting outta hand!!!

[@stephenyoutubin4476]

The world is F Over right now!

[@user-fc6hs7ji3p]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@gregorylyon1004]

I think that this is a better option than buying an original car. This one has a real engine

[@Mhurtle65]

Sweet......

Nice Duster!

I agree

[@paulciprus9582]

I had a 70 SS…383 ..aluminum heads..560” lift…3500 stall..4:10 gears…Buttercup yellow with black vinyl top…wide oval redline tires..looked like your grandma’s car…until I started it…🤣🤣.

[@ciadanixy]

Finest Kind

[@frankzito1660]

Man that’s high for that car. Like it but geez that’s 10k too much.

[@NoPrivateProperty]

wholesale vs retail

[@petersilecchio4417]

Very Nice. I had a real 71 Nova SS in the same color.

[@douglascrawford4791]

Nope

[@beesupreme801]

What exactly color is that?

[@petersilecchio4417]

Classic Copper.

[@scottshields8334]

37 grand I don't see more than 28 grand for this car

[@BonafideAutoAppraisal]

In the past year, 3rd-generation Novas have been sold online for an average of $43,000. The highest recorded sale was $118,000, while the lowest was $8,000. This particular Nova has a brand-new drivetrain with documentation, so we believe that $37,000 is a reasonable starting price.

[@mc1738]

@@BonafideAutoAppraisalthe average you mention includes several original SS 396 cars so not apples to apples. No question a lot of money has been spent on this car though.

[@BonafideAutoAppraisal]

You're right, that same average also includes four doors, projects, and six cylinders. Not exactly apples. The seller will entertain all reasonable cash offers.

[@jrethejunkremovalentrepren4052]

Good Luckkkk😂

[@gregorylyon1004]

You can't build the car for $35K

[@billybobjoephil]

That is one bad ass nova, don’t get me wrong but it’s not 1987, nobody thinks a third gen nova is a sleeper anymore. That being said, I do like the 1976 nova concours paint scheme

[@BonafideAutoAppraisal]

Thanks! I like that paint scheme too. It's called Classic Copper, (paint code 67.)

[@richardturk7162]

Nice car but the 10 bolt isn't going to last long.

[@gregorylyon1004]

It will last long enough to sell it and do a couple of burnouts. LOL

[@stevenmarcinkowski8577]

The camera guy didn't want you to see that rust covered core support there

[@chrislovett6120]

It’s definitely a nice car although not a race car, but it’s a nice street driver for sure. But for that money it should have a Ford 9”, vintage ac, ididit wheel and a Holley with aftermarket factory looking gauges

[@GMCTIM]

If only we new then ! These cars were a dime a dozen in the 70 s ! Wouldn't we ALL like to know though ! 😂✌

[@BonafideAutoAppraisal]

I remember finding a Nova for $500 and I wanted it so bad, and couldn't afford it. That was then...

[@GMCTIM]

Yep mine was a 69 chevelle 396 4 speed for 2500oo ! Junk yard price be more than that Today !

[@nosivo13]

Rad

[@danadorsey1016]

Very nice car for what it is, not worth 37K though (in my opinion).

[@DonnaGuse]

Is this car still for sale

[@joshwynn1836]

37k it better make 500 to the wheels! Idk why you guys don't realize how well the LS motor is for power and reliability! You could've built a 4"stroke 6.0 and made close to 700, 550ish to the wheels with a/c and all power!

[@nwflboy007powell8]

Would be better if it was a small block 400.

[@timothygavin6836]

Good that it’s an automatic, that way an 8 year old would be able to steal it for a joyride

[@philmares7474]

I recognize the area Santa Fe

[@MrBIGNAWD]

20K AT MAX !! SOUNDS GREAT!! BUT NO PAINTED MATCH HOOD, WITH BENCH SEAT, COLUMN SHIFT, A ARMS RASH? NO A/C, AND NO 9'' REAR? FRONT END SHIMMED TO HELL?

[@charliehustle8885]

Lower it!!!! Asap 😊

[@user-vj5os1qi9l]

Is this Nova still for sale

[@BonafideAutoAppraisal]

Yes it is.

[@davidsanstad9846]

That's an 8.2" rear end. Those are made of glass.

[@gregorylyon1004]

The rearend will last long enough to sell it

[@nickhoffman5524]

nice car but 10 bolt?

[@billybobjoephil]

You can pound a well set up ten bolt. Especially on those tires

[@BonafideAutoAppraisal]

Yeah, the 10 bolt can handle the power in this car with the gear set that's in it. If you were to switch to a 4.10 gear ratio and use slicks, then you might want to consider upgrading to a 12-bolt rear end. However, I feel comfortable racing this car with its current gear ratio and 10-bolt rear end, even if I were to use slicks.

[@WCW-fr4cl]

Very nice but not a sleeper with the hood , traction bars and obviously the sound coming out of the DUAL exhaust unless you’ve been in a cave that’s a lightweight street rod all day

[@user-vj5os1qi9l]

Where is the Nova located and address

[@BonafideAutoAppraisal]

It's in Albuquerque New Mexico.

[@user-vj5os1qi9l]

Thank you sir

[@rodneysteen3646]

Built your dream car drove it 300 miles and now you want to sell it ?

[@gregorylyon1004]

He can't afford the gas. He's probably a car flipper just looking for some pocket change

[@user-yi5ou6ob5r]

I just can’t see that price.

[@gregorylyon1004]

The rear axle is a joke. It's not nearly heavy enough for 500 horsepower V8

[@Steve_J_]

Whats up with that drivers side upper A frame butchered and shimmed to hell 1:27

[@kevinohara7743]

Something probably with the subframe, novas, camaros had an issue with extreme shimming to get alignment in spec.

[@dougmather3489]

Straight up it’s uh sleeper

[@BonafideAutoAppraisal]

Right up until you start the engine!

[@dougmather3489]

Exactly 👍🏻

[@LLS1100]

I can't see no more than 18 k

[@gregorylyon1004]

$18K dollars??? Have these car depreciated that much??? That's probably a $10K dollar engine

[@JoeBilello1969]

HA HA HA, OMG HAS OUR MONEY BECOME THIS WORTHLESS?!?!?😂😅😊

[@davidsanstad9846]

487 hp?! One wheel peel at that rpm should have smoked that treaded tire. It's funny how a used car salesman can talk up something he has no idea about. This is designed to fluff up its value. What you're actually getting is a decent pig with some lipstick on it.

[@BonafideAutoAppraisal]

Dang dude. Way to harsh the mellow on this fine Friday morning. It's a positraction rear with documentation as well as a dyno sheet from @Smeding performance showing, ahem...482HP. That's my final answer.

[@davidsanstad9846]

@@BonafideAutoAppraisal You can't deny its an 8.2" ring gear rear end and the video showed it only layer a single tire spin patch. You can church it up all you want but some of us trolls know better.

[@davidsanstad9846]

​@@BonafideAutoAppraisalIt also has a quick fuel QFT 600cfm carburetor on it. There is no secondary metering block on it which proves it's a vacuum secondary street carb that can not support "482" hp. I can pick the car apart more if you'd like?

[@user-yj7mz8po2e]

Overpriced project car. Paint is just the beginning

[@gregorylyon1004]

It's a driver not a museum piece

[@seeharvester]

Too bad it's an automatic.

[@jamiejones1289]

That's far from a sleeper.

[@kurtwise7356]

Im a chevelle guy and no way should you put more than 200 hp in a Nova!

[@stereolababy]

cmon man don't call it a sleeper

[@BonafideAutoAppraisal]

It certainly doesn't sound like a sleeper. It is kind of an unassuming color though!

[@ThePauliebuck]

No PS?

[@BonafideAutoAppraisal]

No power steering, It has a new Borgeson steering box though. It's nice and tight, has no slop, and is actually pretty easy to steer.

[@gregorylyon1004]

The original buyer could afford a hundred dollars extra for power steering

[@user-tj4xz5nn6d]

Dont.....

[@mikereed5319]

About 18k to 21k at best..
