454-Powered 1969 Chevrolet Nova 4-Speed

This 1969 Chevrolet Nova coupe was acquired by its current owner in 2012 and is said to have undergone refurbishment in 2014. It features a 454ci V8 engine paired with a four-speed manual transmission and a Positraction limited-slip differential. The car is finished in silver with a blue vinyl interior and comes equipped with Super Sport badging, a cowl-induction hood, power steering, power-assisted front disc brakes, 15″ Sport wheels, headers, a dual exhaust system, a center console, a Hurst shifter, auxiliary gauges, and an aftermarket head unit. The vehicle is now being offered by the seller on behalf of the owner, accompanied by a clean Ohio title.

Originally finished in Cortez Silver (69), the car was repainted during its refurbishment. Exterior features include Super Sport and 396 badging, a cowl-induction hood, a driver-side mirror, and chrome bumpers and trim.

The 15″ Sport wheels with trim rings are wrapped in Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires, sized 225/70. The car is fitted with power steering, while braking is handled by power-assisted front discs and rear drums.

Inside, the cabin features reupholstered front bucket seats and a rear bench in blue vinyl, along with matching door panels, a dashboard, and carpeting. It includes a Hurst shifter, center console, lap belts for both front and rear passengers, front vent windows, a heater, and a Bluetooth-compatible retro-style AM/FM radio.

A two-spoke steering wheel sits in front of a 120-mph horizontal speedometer, tachometer, and fuel gauge. Stewart-Warner auxiliary gauges for vacuum, oil pressure, battery charge, and water temperature are located in the center console, just ahead of the shifter. The five-digit odometer shows 91k miles, with about 1,100 miles added under the current owner.

The replacement 454ci V8, installed and rebuilt in 2015, comes with a Turbo-Jet 375HP air-cleaner cover, while exhaust headers have also been added. The seller notes that the thermostat, radiator hoses, and battery were replaced in 2024.

Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission and a 12-bolt rear end with a Positraction limited-slip differential. The dual exhaust system is fitted with Flowmaster mufflers and a crossover pipe.
