Re: 70 Hurst SS Nova Giveaway car
Not that one. Its in the NOVA SS book by Steve Statham. It has a Forest Green Deuce on the front cover. It looks like it was Red with a white top. But the white one in the background is awsome!

Re: 70 Hurst SS Nova Giveaway car
That would be a nice car to have today

Re: 70 Hurst SS Nova Giveaway car
Why does it seem like the X bodies are the least talked about unless they were Yenko's? Where are all the other special Nova's at?

Re: 70 Hurst SS Nova Giveaway car
I would give a limb for something like that! LOL

Re: 70 Hurst SS Nova Giveaway car
The Nova in the above pic has not been found to my knowledge, I started a post about it a year ago - to no avail.
The 'slot machine' giveaway Nova is also mia, apparently an L34 car. |

Re: 70 Hurst SS Nova Giveaway car
Does anyone here on the site have any more detailed photos of the above pictured Hurst Nova??? Would like to see them.
Thanks.... Rich |
Re: 70 Hurst SS Nova Giveaway car
Yea, I'll post them in my original thread so as not to hi-jack Jed's thread.

Re: 70 Hurst SS Nova Giveaway car
My Nova used to look something like the car in the ad.

Very nice nova https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...-I-Have-It.gif

Re: 70 Hurst SS Nova Giveaway car
HA! Marlin, how would you be able to hi-jack my thread? I know I asked you about that car a long time ago LOL. Plus you are the one who asked about it on here originally. I don't think I ever heard of the "Jackpot" Nova or "Slot Machine" car. I know I would deffinately like to see it if it still exits.

Very nice nova https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...-I-Have-It.gif [/ QUOTE ] Thanks! Pictures are deceiving. It's a much better car today, thanks to the good folks in Donahue, Iowa. See below. http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q...n/DSC00692.jpg I'm trying to find an image on the internet of that Hurst shifter ad with 70 Nova give-a-way car but haven't had any luck. |
Re: 70 Hurst SS Nova Giveaway car
The only picture I had was located in the Nova SS book, but it was not of white and gold.

Re: 70 Hurst SS Nova Giveaway car
Cortez Silver I presume?

Re: 70 Hurst SS Nova Giveaway car
Ah! Bingo! That's the Jackpot Nova. I misread it.

Re: 70 Hurst SS Nova Giveaway car
Sorry, I'm a NOVAHOLIC. I was glued to the car and not the words.

I found the ad in a June 1970 Super Stock mag. I will try to attach a pic.

Re: 70 Hurst SS Nova Giveaway car
Any original enrty forms out there?

Re: 70 Hurst SS Nova Giveaway car
Cool Nova pictures and story behind the hurst car! I thought I would post a pic of my original 72. It was a decently optioned car. A/C, 350 2 barrel, power steering, power disc brakes, rallye wheels. Would the only difference in my car and a SS be that a SS would have had a 4 barrel intake/carb, black grill, and the ss rear panel? The 70 year old lady I got it from let it sit for 10 years. I did a basic tune up, went through the fuel and cooling systems, and it's been a great driver. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/laugh.gif Post up some more nova pictures!

Re: 70 Hurst SS Nova Giveaway car
Thanks for the ad picture, Kim!
I like Nova pictures..... here's the comparison that I referenced. http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q...96/HurstAd.jpg http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q...rontDSview.jpg |
Re: 70 Hurst SS Nova Giveaway car
It is funny how they "artistically" drew in a Crager wheel/Goodyear tire on the front, when you can see the original SS wheel on th rear.!
|
Re: 70 Hurst SS Nova Giveaway car
In 72? I would have to say most likely. And possibly a posi rear and multi leaf springs.
|
Re: 70 Hurst SS Nova Giveaway car
Not to nit pick, but what about the argent silver filler panel between the bumper and grill. Eh hem.
I have noticed at about every car show, most people paint them the body color. |

[/ QUOTE ] If you're talking about my Nova, I don't claim responsibility for that. It was done incorrectly by the previous owner when it was Black Cherry. However, now my Nova is silver..... so it again that filler panel nearly matches body color. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif |

Re: 70 Hurst SS Nova Giveaway car
I think they were trying to draw a Hurst wheel with white lettered tire on the front of the giveaway car. Good eye on the back wheel, had not noticed that b4!
|
Re: 70 Hurst SS Nova Giveaway car
The wheel/tire combo on the back appears to be a SS rim, and (hard to tell) white lettered tire. I was told when I ordered my nova new in 70, that the SS rims were not available. Ralleys only. And no raised white letter tires. White stripe only. I would like to see a 70 window sticker with the SS wheel option listed. I'm not saying there weren't any,but I've never see any that I could verify as came from the factory as an option. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif
Those Hurst auto sticks actually work pretty well after you get on to the diagonal pattern. Look nice too. |
Re: 70 Hurst SS Nova Giveaway car
I know the white stripe E 70 14 was the only available tire for the 70 Nova SS, as the E 70 14 Redline was the standard tire for 69, no lettered tires in either year I beleive. Anybody out there with a 70 broadcast sheet or window sticker showing SS wheels.?
|
Re: 70 Hurst SS Nova Giveaway car
My option paperwork only shows the ZJ7 option described as "Special Wheel, Hub Cap and Trim Ring". I've seen this option on window stickers, but have never seen the SS wheel option listed - but would not know the option # if I did see it. So, does anyone have the option number for the SS wheels from a Camaro or Chevelle window sticker? It should be same for the Novas. Ed in RI has a bunch of window stickers for SS Novas, so perhaps he can check his stash for this code.
|
Re: 70 Hurst SS Nova Giveaway car
The window sticker on my 69 SS chevelle shows option 6Z25AA as the inclusive SS package with the SS wheels, and raised white letter tires.The SS option on my 70 SS nova lists SS items, but does not specify a wheel designation. I had to order the ralley wheels separate from the SS package.

Re: 70 Hurst SS Nova Giveaway car
"Tailfins & Bowties - Production Figures & Option Totals - By The Book" shows the following:
70 Nova RPO# N66 Super Sport Wheel, Hub Cap & Trim Ring - 4,411 produced |
Re: 70 Hurst SS Nova Giveaway car
Ah! I see the N66 option on my option listing from GM. So, I wonder if anyone has seen the N66 option on Nova window stickers?
