Looks like a clean ride..If it has an LT-1 and runs and drives well...it's not a bad price provided there are no hidden issues.

In addition, I don't see the polished edges on the side louvers.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but fuel injection never came from the factory on a Nova, right?

Here's a interesting resource on the LT1 in a 1970 Nova:

FI was never available on a Nova SS

Discussions about interior and exterior choices, colors and features are a constant topic when it comes to the Nova. The Nova SS option had nothing to do with colors or interior options like bench or bucket seats and consoles.

The SS option got you the base SS engine [in this case the L-48 350/300hp small block] and a variety of mechanical & cosmetic items like; hood louvers, special SS grill and front bezels, rear panel with SS emblem, dual exhaust, E70 x 14 wide ovals, etc.

All of the paint colors and combos were available on any Nova from the rare 4cyl. all the way to the mighty L78.

So, when looking at a Nova advertised as an SS it helps to keep all of this mind...short of a born with driveline or solid documents it is often hard to prove the SS status...but, ultimately most cars speak for themselves, and if you know what to look for it can be figured out.

Neither was the LT/1 unless it was a Yenko Deuce, or a Canadian COPO. This is not one of them.

I think agree with the guys that speculate that this was not born an SS. That brake distribution block set-up sure doesn't look correct for '70 - likely a front disc brake conversion. If so, that rules out the possibility that this was an SS originally.
