This is literally my dream car
Me too
Mine too ,I had 69 my had 402 four SPD dam I miss it
I have the same dream.
I have one of these.
I AM the Nova Nut😤🤫 had 2; white w/BLK vinyl top 74 hatchback 350 and a Olive 70 straight 6
At 11:10 and 11:15 Nick got rubber in second and third gears without even trying. You can't beat a classic 396 Nova SS with a 4 speed. I love it.
That's another thing I like about American muscle cars. You can get 100 grand of fun for under 25 grand.
it really is cheap in that respect.....
nut
Plus you can also get 100 pounds of . . . BONDO for under 25 grand 😆
I showed my wife this video.
I met her in 1972.
I owned a 1969 GTO Judge at the time.
I was a little shocked that this little tiny blonde that weighed 90 pounds was driving this thing.
She owned a 1970 SS Nova identical to this in the maroon and black.
Hers was a 350 with 3 speed floor shift.
Which I always hated and planned to put a Muncie or Saginaw 4 speed.
I need to buy this thing.
Except I am starting a new company.
In a year I need to look the new owner up and see if he will part with it.
Great video,great car,great memories.
Thanks.
I would get up at 5AM everyday and grab some coffee just to hear that baby purr every morning ☕️
Me too brother 😎
Same here
My pal came home from NAM in '69, and bought one of these! What a BEAST!
And I bet when he turned the radio on, Fortunate Son started blasting
I had a 1968 Nova super sport when I was 22 years old. It was stolen a year later right from my block in Queens, New York. I loved that car. It was my first, red with a black top.
That's a beautiful ride and done up right! Kudos on not putting those awful 22 inch wheels on it
Thanks. Great. Richard of Florida
Bought a 2 yr old 1969 SS Nova in 1971 for $2K. L78 396/375. 4 speed. Added 2 1/8” Hooker headers and swapped out stock 3.55 gears for 4.10 Posi. Fun ride. This video brings it all back.
I somehow stumbled on this. Thanks for posting this. It really brought back a lot of memories . My first car as a 66 Chevelle ( only a 6 cylinder) that I got in 1974. Really crazy to see that gas tank behind the license plate again and the instrument was pretty much the same as this Nova.. My best friend up the street had a bunch of muscle cars and I could feel the sensation again of driving in his cars by watching this.
One of the cleanest I have seen in a very long time.
Dang- I'd pay $23K it and enjoy it every time I looked at it. Beautiful machine. Thanks for the vid!
One exceptional NOVA. Some one did this build an did a great job to get OEM parts. Down to SS Council mostly original stearing where is super correct add on. This car is so sharp
Pretty nice. You should have seen the 1969 that I built in college back in the 80's .. 700+ HP .. it could do wheel stands at least 12" high .. candy-apple red custom paint, crushed velvet interior, all MSD ignition, custom headers, custom race cam, custom intake dual quad double pump carbs with mechanical secondary's (synchronized), 4-speed Muncie Rock Crusher transmission, 12-bolt posi-traction rearend (nothing but motor under the hood .. no heat, no A/C, just motor). Just like this one, the spedo never worked .. LOL .. Man, it was sweet! Sold it to my neighbor who drag raced it at the strip for the next several years. It was a muscle car among muscle cars. Few people attempted to race me on the street, and those who did lost. It would have beat the crap out of this one.
Awsome..... as soon as I sell my motorhome, I’m going to make the trip south to get one of those. I miss my nova’s. 71 nova was my first ride in 1980
Guys when my settlement comes in you will be the first call I make. Respect for giving an honest test drive. 69 nova 4speed is me dream car and people are still sleeping on em!
I'm just glad you posted. She is a beauty.
This is one off the nicest Nova I`ve seen in a while
Yes, VERY nice!
In da 1991 I was driving a NOVA live this... To this very day this is still my favorite car... I wish I still had it...
“If you don’t like it, whatever”......I’m with ya brother.
It be fun 4sure
Nick always seems so happy test driving a big block
I just bought a lottery ticket. I love that Nova
I've never been a big Nova fan except maybe 65 and 66. But anyone who is a fan will love this car it looks great it sounds even better. videos always leave me drooling LOL
I had a 1970 SS Nova back in the 80s. Another sweet ride from Maple.
THIS is what I'm talking about!! Back in '76, I was 16 and owned a '69 Chevelle Malibu SS 396, green w/vinyl top, bucket seats w/ center console/shifter, and TH400 auto trans! Sold it when I joined the Navy, missed out on purchase of a '70 SS Nova, brn, w/4-spd... nearly broke my heart!! Looks like your engine has an Edelbrock intake, can't see carb, my car had stock intake w/800 Holley.... was gonna do Hedmann headers and an Isky cam, but enlisted and sold car first. BEAUTIFUL car, the ONLY other car I would've rather had would've been a '69 GTO w/4spd.... ohhhh, this brings back memories of the good 'ol days!! MAN!!! Listen to the sound of that idle!!! Congrats to whoever bought her!!! This is from back in time when guys were guys, cars were CARS, and speed-limits were a mere SUGGESTION!!! Keep on ROCKIN' that GM MUSCLE!!!!!
Sounds great. Love the sound of V8's. And that's a great looking car. That paintwork looks flawless.
seing him put on his seatbelt around his waiste brought me back to memory lane when i was a kid wow!!!!! i totaly forgot we used to put the seatbelt around are waist back then
I want those 'Stangs. I almost cried when I saw them. I've been a lover of the Ford Mustang since I was a teenager. In fact, my first 2 cars were Mustangs. I now have one of the newer ones, all black. We call it the Black Sunshine. She is purdy. But nothing beats the classics.
@Anthony Hernandez Amen!
My dad a midnight blue '69 S/S, 4 speed, very fast. It had pipes on the side. The Corvette Rallye wheels, wish he would have kept it. He sold it to his brother, who wrecked it and never saw it again!
15.20's?
I have always loved this era of the Nova body style
Thanks for the ride. I had one these Nova's in 1973. If I had 22 grand to blow I'd own this car. These cars are their own drug. When you drive one of these there's a high like no other. My Nova was second hand but was as nice as this one is still have it if a stupid drunk would've stayed home one Saturday night in 77. A lot of happy memories till then. Thanks again for the ride.
Sure sounded like you chirped the 1st 3 gears Nick running on the highway there...nice running, sounding and driving Nova....and EVERYTHING works.(no one needs a speedo)...sweet man...Im still playing the lottery out here so
This beautiful Nova will keep going up in value!
Love that shifter. Short and to the point.
My uncle had a blue '69 SS396 4speed...what a fun car...and pretty damn fast too.
how fats?
14.98?
Sweet. Always loved those Nova's. That was my era. I'm 72 and those were the years of fun man. You could buy a car use it for as month sell it and buy another. Hell we'd even trade at dealer ships. Nice job.
The interior is fairly nice and everything works. Love that in dash tach. I would prefer an SS hood, but not a real big deal.
I dig the gauge cluster 👍
You rarely see a factory tach in a 68-74 Nova.
Perty cool tho.
In 1973 a friend bought a new Nova SS with full gauges, factory tach and a 4 speed.
It had dual exh.
It was maroon, black buckets, black vynal top.
Did 69 have an SS hood? 🤔
yes
Those factory gauges in the console and also the tach in the cluster....SUPER RARE!!!
Not sure about this model year, but in 74 the Nova Custom came with same center gauge package as well as a Muncie 4 speed with Hurst shifter.
My dream car 🥺
Would pick that over any new car today.
my father has a 72' Nova but with a 3 speed reverse manual shifter, and a massive naturally aspirated 496 big block engine. It's music to my ears. And it's color looks very close to this one!
When the time is right I'm going to buy a car off of you! This would be an awesome daily!
THAT'S A REALLY NICE ONE NICK 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I had an all original of this as my first car ! Paid the original owner $900 in 1978 . I miss that car
Always was my favorite car... Dream car this is what mine is. ... I had a 73' Nova, 6 cylinder. With a. 2 speed powerglide transmission.. That's been like 35 yrs. When I owned it. Yea I only could imagine owning this beautiful ride.. I guess Im still dreaming of my favorite of all .....
Clean Ride, Sounds Strong
Only $23K?! I would have thought it would go for more than that. One of my dream cars in HS.
Big block, 4 speed, unmolested '69 Nova. Down here in Australia, that beauty would sell for not a penny less than $A65k, or around $US45k
@@brucestorey3400Holden👍
what a beauty. priced very reasonably. this one wont last long.
There cars do seem reasonably priced
@ thanks for the correction you have nothing better to do ASSHOLE!!!
odometer is unhooked.. SMDH
@@manstick1 what do u mean by that
@@BGKO1992 during the video the speedometer/odometer wasn't turning. Said 0 miles per hour
I had a 69 nova. I remember mine had headrests. Not sure what seats are in that Nova, sure sit high. But someone gave it a little lovin’, very clean.
Guy was probably short and got tired of sitting on phone books. Probably put spacers in to raise the seat....lol
Been one of my favorite cars, knew it wasnt gonna last long
Not at the price....
especially if it was here in California.
@@tonyt8805 ya its a sweet car
Someone once asked Goldberg ( the wrestler) what does he do when he buys these muscle cars ? His response was “ Drive the shit out of them.” I’m with him on that. Great car.
Memories. My oldest brother had a 70 Nova L78 396/375 4spd back in the mid 70’s
In 1974 I saw my first Nova and I fell in love I was 9 years old back then
Your honesty about these vehicles makes me wanna do business.
Here in malta these are not expensive 20k or less you will have one
Beautiful Nova, Awesome Color.
that was one of the sweetest 69 ive seen it looks original .
I do have to say that you do have a lot full of beautiful classic cars & trucks… I will definitely be dropping in to test drive a couple of them for myself & my wife…
Thank you
Torque thrust wheels are timeless.
That Nova sounds badass!
You got a great life. You get to drive around in great cars all day
I had a 1970 350SS, tweaked it a little, edelbrock intake, Holley Carb, headers..not as hot as the one here but still 51 yrs later and I still miss it...
guess i need to go on vacation an visit maple motors to get one
this car is so damn nice
and your videos are onpoint for those used cars really like the style
keep it up :)
I used to restore steering wheels, these wheels most of them cracked easy , that one could be a re-pop because they are done well hard to tell from GM or an original OEM wheel but nice to see it & not some ugly wooden aftermarket Grant wheel
Shut up Man!!!
@@ronbaker7501 yo why so angry?
So what's wrong with a wooden steering wheel? They are usually larger (thicker) and easier to hold on to than the tiny factory wheels. After I put larger wood grips on my Super Blackhawk I found it easier to deal with the recoil of the .44 Magnum. The only other solution (besides a larger wooden wheel) is a soft lace on cover, which does not look as good.
Mad to the Bone sweet cars I'm impressed with your work on getting all this bad ass butties together in one lot for all of us 10/4
That's a sweet Nova Nick! Thanks for posting the videos on it.
I'm not even a huge Nova fan, but this car is amazing!
I'm in Memphis, I would love to buy this car. It's clean, very nice.
maybe just think about your opinion,instead of writing it down,inadvertently unleashing the floodgates of idiocy and letting the world know how inept you are
I was sold when I saw it was a 4 speed.
Im a ford guy...and i loved it....
Stand on it one good time Nick! Stop playing with it. Lol sharp car man
Had one exactly like that in 1976 . Loved that car ….
I gave $1100. For mine in 1976 ..
Bought my bright red with black stripes 1974 SS Nova hatch back for 1500 back in 1981 great car, totaled it with one car payment left, wish I still had it.
One the best one that I have seen on this channel!! I gotta have it 😘
This channel is like the Sears wishbook catalog for gen X ers!
@Cougars & Tigers these are all the cars that were unobtainable when I was teens and twenties and still are today.
When I was a sophomore in High School (15yrs.old) I wiggled my way into High School Auto Shop. Normally allocated for Seniors. Our football coach had the same SS in Blue w/ Blk.stripe. He noticed that one of his team(me)was in Autoshop class and asked if I would do routine maintenance on his ride?
At 15, I had no license and 3rd period shop class (right before lunch hour) daily The keys were on his desk each day and leave school, grab my friends rip up the roads the whole semester ... until the vice principal met up with me at an intersection (in his ‘72 Capri)
They shut that down that very day!
I think that is my favorite car yet. I love that era nova.
Very clean, love the color!
I had a Nova like this back in 1985 I sold it . They are cool cars 👍
My uncle had that same car in gold, 396, 4 speed, that he bought at Nickey Chevy in Chicago...good video
Dream machine. Ha Ha Ha: Shows operation of the car's radio at 2.320 to 2.325: "Radio. It's nice."
Nick says “I call it a tachometer you call it an RPM gauge “ whatever!! ....LETS GO FOE A RIDE !! Lol EPIC !!YES EPIC !! Love it nick love the vlogs and the cars 😎🇺🇸👍🏻
I love it when he says the RPM gage is comming up at idle..lol
L Dlu440 lol
@@JeffCarsboatsatvs it's better than the horn and wiper mystery tests IMO.
Lol.
You look good in that Nova man. May be a keeper...Slick ride.
Nova's always seem to be an entry vehicle for people wanting a muscle car. Their relatively low prices have always been a puzzle to me. I guess they aren't as popular as other muscle cars. I would love to own this one. That 4 speed would be a blast to wind out on a long empty stretch of road.
I just subscribed,I enjoy your review"s,you seem like you guy"s are pretty honest.At 61 years oid,my high school parking lot was full of these beautiful machines.1977,it was a classic,hot rod car show-"WHO KNEW!"-I want one!
Wow, Nick.. That's a sweet one! That would look good in my garage! ♥️
What is the vin#
What a sweet ride.
That has to be the most beautiful car I've ever seen.
I wanna cry. But the black one with hubcaps parked in the lot is my dream car .
That’s a good Nova !! Nice Nick . Tire rub was a bummer though .
This is such a beauty ! Greetings from Germany !
Kid the ones who dumb down this, do not know the quality in the stock!
I started watching you lot walks and watching your inventory. Im retired and looking for a mid to late 60s chevy, Ford, Dodge or Plymouth... you have many, im impressed
Thanks
Please bring that Nova to my house. She is a beautiful car.
Sick ride. Wish I would have seen this video back in June as I would have bought it. I am looking for a 1969 Big Block Auto. White w/ black vinyl or Deep Blue.
"Horn, works everytime!" 🤣🤣
U need work on choke some on carb low speed down on engine
Man I would love to have that. Had a 68 gto that I put a 396 in and a four speed. It was amazing. Dad built engine. 396 bored 30 over, 11.5 to 1 pistons heads shaved and it was a torque beast.
Wow! Look at that! A dealership posting a video that has "test drive" in the title and actually shows a test drive! Good video guys. Wish you were out by me.
"My friends all drive e-cars, I must make amends. Worked hard all my lifetime, but saved no more then cents. So, oh lord, won't you buy me a Chevy, don't want a Benz!"
It's really good to see cars like it still love that's where I grew up with the real deal give me going dude
I had a 73 with a 327, loved it
One of the nicest Chevys I've seen on your site ... I'm liking it ..
You provide alot of useful information to perspective buying. I believe alot of folks would be equally interested in the under carriage. We all know with a vehicles age this can be a major issue. I enjoy watching.
Thank you
American muscle. Love the Nova. Tough-looking old Chevrolet.
No Frills & No F*cks given
Had a black one with black vinyl roof, 8 track and Crager Mags. Wish I knew to keep it. Three friends each had one, too. Black, green, blue and gun metal.
I owned an identical Nova 1969 L-78 396 4 speed manual. Incredible car.
