Test Drive 1970 Chevrolet Nova Big Block 454 V8 $27,900 Maple Motors

[@CooKoo707]

Damn Nick… This one is like 0 for 5 at the start. No wipers, no heater, no blinkers, no brake lights, no gas gauge. Well, I guess it does have a motor & transmission. 😂😂😂

[@chrisstaples4302]

And all for the low sum 27k and some change No thanks bud.

[@kylekeighley1939]

I wouldn't be able to afford to keep tires on this one....that 454 is meant for pulling and I'd be in it all day long!

[@johnsheetz6639]

Everybody thinks of everything except for the electrical work! I'm guessing this is a Saturday night special it's nice but it's not a daily until you run your own wires and get a universal fuse box if you can't reach them

[@mrknotthall]

LOL

[@johnkrawczyk401]

Perfect project car. Another completely honest video. I love when people complain about the flaws 😅 You make it VERY clear that none of the rides are perfect. You're not trying to hide anything from anyone and I respect it❤ Keep up the quality content brother 👍🏼

[@TheBing1967]

No brake lights or turn signals

[@slowblueoval1997]

This is nice little bit of work to take it to the finish line. Big block 4 speed and a 12 bolt. This won't be on the lot long.

[@markestes5948]

I know you guys don't do mechanic work. Fan motors and horns can be fixed later but lights and turn signals are safety concerns. Even if you have to pay someone. It will preserve your good name.

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

Yes all the lights have been checked and fixed. It was a ground issue that happened after the video started

[@troyjackowski7966]

Nick you might want to check out, no tail lights, no turn signals, no brake lights.

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

Yes all fixed ground issue

[@josephsolomon8623]

Very nice very sweet car underneath is considerably very clean didn't see much rust if none at all always loved the Nova back in the day my friend had a hatchback forgot what year it was maybe a 76 I don't know always love the Novas this one is very very nice I'm in New York I might be contacting you one day very soon love your inventory

[@carls1959]

Love a Nova with a big block. Seems odd that the previous owner did all that work to the interior, but didn't straighten out the electrical first. Nice car though.

[@oneito7]

HUGE Nova fan! 😎

[@malcolmyost7794]

Nick I think that it is a good looking car but with turn signals gas gage brakes brake lights and wipes. Get them fixed and it will be good and price could come down. 😊

[@nealhardin6869]

She’s a stick big block but if someone knows what they are doing with carb avd distributor she will wake up. Someone got her set for driving not performance necessarily. That means she been taken care of. Good job Nick

[@papabeargarage]

Nice cruiser not abused.

[@georgegbalzano9239]

Might have been easier to just list WHAT DOES WORK with this one!!! LOL!!! Still a great combination 2nd gen Nova, white/black with a BIG BLOCK, a stick and a12 bolt rear end... with a little work, this will be ONE FUN RIDE!!!

[@jinglingbabygarage7030]

If the body is real solid it’s a good deal. Got a 12 bolt too!

[@tedhamilton2362]

That will sell QUICK! A few days of TLC by a buyer can put a plan in place to resolve the blower, wipers, signals, radio, etc.

[@joemomma1]

Or it could be a nightmare, if rodents got in there and chewed up wires..

[@tonytrumble]

Big block nova with a 4-speed. Small electrical issues is an easy fix. Im glad people shy away because it shows they know nothing about classic car market and we don't need them in the community. This will make someone a great running and driving project.

[@OnTheAir]

Easy fix? Nothing electrical works except the ignition. There could be a host of problems.

[@tonytrumble]

@OnTheAir compared to body, engine, suspension work, electrical is easier and less expensive. I've restored and rebuilt a lot of cars and electrical is by far the cheapest and easiest to repair.

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

Yes we have already fixed the lights after the video. Just ground issues , they worked before we started

[@TimboWhite-w7b]

Yes That Is A Very Great Looking Old Car There Nick

[@josephsolomon8623]

Very nice very clean the engine and the interior is the best thing about the car paint job it's like a glorified Earl Scheib paint job give it a quick spray make it look good even did the insides of the doors and everything overall a very very nice car underneath very very clean interior very nice not too happy about the paint job with the drips and everything a lot of overspray even on the vinyl roof but it's nothing a couple of bucks won't fix won't break the bank very nice very clean car guys and it's got a lot of balls you better hurry up and pick this one up I really don't think it's going to be around for long cuz everybody loves a Nova specially one that's worked❤

[@elijah2078]

Going to need some love from the new owner(s) but that is all part of the fun of owning these old cars. It is for me anyway.

[@randallmeisner4610]

I thought I herd a knock

[@lonniekiser3612]

Nice one Bud , looks like someone has already did the hard work, underneath looks solid, the body nice and interior great. I little electrical problem no problem 👍 Won't last long 👍

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

Thanks man, I appreciate you 👍

[@rebelyankeesshow5686]

Its about that time. Look at my hey dudessss

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

I don’t own hey dudes lol

[@danielmaclnnes2124]

Hi guys you've got so many great cars on your lot wow I love everything about maple motors keep it up thank you ❤❤

[@Mybestdayistomorrow]

Buy for 29,500, strip it down, dish in another 50 grand and you might have a great nova?

[@SDCornelli]

If you're paying the asking price for a Nova then dumping another 50 into it I'd say you have more 💲💲💲than 🧠🧠🧠🤷‍♂️🤤🤙

[@teresathornbury9874]

A lot of problems for that price

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

Minor issues

[@russelltackett4779]

Move along then

[@TheSteve1175]

The wife is calling 😊

[@69Chevelle48]

The price will be dropped next week to many issues.

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

Nope we have to keep them 60 days before we price drop. Also the tail lights turn signals have been address right after the video. It will sell

[@BAD4U22]

Nice ride,sleeper car i like it

[@bobbymckinney1264]

Good looking nova has good sound to it,i think it would look good red,thanks nick you the man!!

[@EngTecher]

Red Corvette is catching my eye...

[@michaelthomas8097]

Whats the interest rate on a old car like this on your lot ?????? 700 credit score

[@DONNYS02]

This car should have never been tested on the road. It is deemed unsafe with no tail lights, no brake lights, no signal lights, and no horn. Can't believe you risked it on the road. This will never pass inspection with the DMV. Hoping the family isn't that money hungry!

[@OnTheAir]

I agree. At least make them road legal. Or is that asking too much for $30K?

[@jeffbennett6218]

Non working electrical systems - nope

[@randylenart9674]

It will make someone a nice Christmas present 🎁

[@Frank-w7d]

Very nice looking Nova 👍👍💪💪

[@ClemisLilly]

Nick I am wondering is that interior a true SS .. nice ride .?

[@KnEpH131]

Since SS is not in the video title, I'm betting it's not a true SS, but it does have a big block in it.

[@DaleBlice]

Someone took a base Nova and dropped in a big block not an SS

[@billzkustomz]

It would cost more if it was a real ss

[@jamesf4405]

This is NOT a true SS ..

[@ClemisLilly]

@@jamesf4405 the SS emblem are there. ? Although.

[@bobsacamanno5123]

It’s 2 bucks, KZbin comment section: oh it’s a Buck more than it’s worth.

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

Lol

[@ppesco69]

For that kind of money everything should be working!

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

Just look around , we have ours priced very reasonable compared to others. We also show you what works and doesn’t. Most will not do that for you

[@ppesco69]

@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate Yeah, I get it, mostly nickel and dime fixes, which sometimes warrant a little more than expected, like replacing an entire wiring harness, wiper motors, fuses and relays... looks good otherwise.

[@darrylfrey6711]

Ignition timing is off

[@christopherhartley0813]

A very nice Chevy nova. I would love to have this one.

[@beachykeen95]

[@jamesgetford4080]

😂 shadow puppets are a markup on price $

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

Yea I charge extra for the shadow puppets

[@davealin2431]

Sounds (& moves!) niiiice!

[@martyjohnson2742]

Sounds great

[@cdgrady2700]

Damn Sweet

[@ss-bt1jp]

She's a runner

[@haroldbirge6881]

[@jacques.formateur0060]

Well o well 🫨🙄

[@russelltackett4779]

Won't take long to sell it

[@Hapkido82AUS]

Wow tough crowd today 😂 Must have grown up not knowing how to replace fuses, globes etc ...

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

Lol they are just learning!

[@Bill-n6c4d]

It will not even pass inspection probably full of Bondo. LMFAO

[@mikeisley4445]

Too much wrong for that money 💰

[@Holywood864]

Be gone by Monday

[@JeepDude_1]

Just a BUNCHA lil chit that needs to be tidy’d up all these armchair mechanics bitčh’n about tailights and chit in a 30 yr old car would be better off getting a Hyundai from the dealers w/a 10yr warranty than a 30y/o classic muscle car!!!

[@paulthompson8642]

Won't Last

[@jackyflowers3493]

Nice.

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

Appreciate that! 👍
