"Cruisin Classics is proud to present to you this stunning 1969 Chevrolet Nova. Though originally a Dover White car with a black bench seat, this Nova comes to us today with a high driver-quality repaint in a beautiful shade of blue with black bucket seats now in the car. The car is badged as an SS, but we can't say whether it is without a build sheet or window sticker. The VIN has a 4 as the third digit, which tells us that it was born a V-8 car but not that it is an SS. What we know for sure is that this is a great-looking big block 4-speed Nova with a 12-bolt rear, power brakes, power steering, and cold A/C � and that's pretty cool all on its own! The front end of this Chevy features a black horizontal grille with SS badging flanked by round headlights in square black bezels. Beneath the grille is a gleaming chrome bumper with integrated turn signals. Up on the hood is a set of chrome faux hood vents that really add to the look of the muscular front end. Walking around to the side of the car, the first thing to stand out is the black vinyl top that is in excellent condition. The top is accentuated by a strip of bright body side molding with a black center that runs the length of the car. Toward the leading edge of the front fenders, you'll find 396 badging that wraps around the side marker lights. Also on the fenders are wheel lip molding and body-color faux side vents/air extractors that add a sporty touch. Bright accents continue with chrome window trim, dual chrome side mirrors, and chrome door handles. At the rear of the car are another shining chrome bumper, clear taillights, and a black horizontal trim piece with a centered ""SS"" badge. On the right side lip of the trunk is a ""Nova by Chevrolet"" badge, replacing the ""Chevy II by Chevrolet"" badge that graced the trunk in 1968. The finishing touch for this gorgeous exterior is a set of 15' chrome SS 396 wheels all appropriately wrapped in BF Goodrich Radial T/A white-letter tires � just perfect!
Under the hood is a very presentable, clean, and organized engine bay with a big orange 396ci V-8 at the center. Though this is not a numbers-matching engine, it is a year-correct block (dated 1/11/69) with casting number 3955272 and the suffix code JQ. The big block is topped with cast heads, new chrome valve covers, an aluminum intake, a Holley 4-barrel carburetor, and a chrome air cleaner with a 396 cross-flags decal and a red filter. Other highlights under the hood include a newer aluminum radiator, power steering, HEI ignition, and a new Sanden A/C compressor. Exhaust flows from cast manifolds through newer pipes and a single muffler before exiting behind the rear tires with a satisfying growl. The big V-8 is mated up to a Muncie 4-speed manual transmission (dated 10/21/68) that puts power to the rear wheels via a 12-bolt rear axle with 3.07:1 Positraction gears. This drivetrain allows for freeway driving while still being able to lay rubber when you want to. Stopping power comes from power front disc and rear drum brakes with a dual reservoir.
When you open the driver's door the dome light pops on to illuminate a very nice black interior. The door cards appear OEM-correct with a horizontal white vinyl strip and bright trim on a black vinyl background. This same styling extends to the rear seat side panels for a cohesive look. A bright Fisher Body sill plate welcomes you inside for a seat in one of the comfortable black bucket seats. The seats appear to be from a Chevelle of the period and are in excellent condition with no splits or tears. Between the seats is a black center console with bright trim that offers a storage box, the shifter (with a black boot and a white pattern ball), a shift pattern badge, and a working clock. The console is not that of a Nova but it sure looks great in this car. Ahead of the driver is a black 2-spoke ""SS"" steering wheel (with working horn) that frames a wide 120mph speedometer with fuel gauge and systems warning lights. The odometer reads 21,718 miles and the title states the mileage is actual. To the right of the speedometer are controls for the Vintage Air system that cranks out cold A/C and hot heat with a strong fan on demand. Beneath the HVAC controls is what appears to be the original Delco AM push-button radio that is now inoperative. To the driver's left are controls for lights and the working 2-speed wipers. Mounted under the center of the dash is a trio of working aftermarket gauges to monitor the battery, oil pressure, and water temp. When you turn the headlights on, the dash lights, HVAC controls, aftermarket gauges, and the console clock all illuminate just as they should. Looking across the dash to the right is an ashtray and a standard-issue glovebox. Just above the glovebox to the left is a black magnet with a shift pattern on it that covers 2 holes that were drilled into this metal section of the dash for an unknown reason at some point in the car's history. Underfoot is a nice black hook-and-loop carpet while overhead is a tight black vinyl headliner and a set of shoulder safety restraints for the front seats. Back in the trunk, you'll find a full spare with factory-style jack, a set of OEM dog-dish caps with bowtie logos, a set of black carpeted floormats, an owner manual and brochure, an ad for the car in 2020 before it underwent the transformation to what it is today, a copy of the car's title in '78 when it was in Louisiana, a '68-69 Louisiana license plate, an NCRS shipping data report, an '03 NHRA certification for running an 11.44-second quarter mile, a steel promotional advertisement, and a 2020 Power Tour license plate.
This '69 Nova is a real head-turner that checks a serious number of boxes � big block, 4-speed, 12-bolt, Vintage Air, power steering, power front disc brakes, slick paint, and a very nice interior � this is a piece of classic American muscle that you can sure get excited about! This Chevy is ready to hop in, turn the key, and go enjoy today! Don't wait to give us a call, this Nova won't be here for long!

Here at Cruisin Classics, we understand that you have many options when choosing where you purchase your classic, muscle or collector car and we would like to thank you for considering us.
Cruisin Classics has been buying and selling cars for many years.. The majority were your average daily drivers but our passion has always been in muscle cars and hot rods so in 1996, Cruisin Classics built a 56,000 sq.ft. showroom located in Columbus, OH that they still operate out of today. All of our vehicles are hand-picked and selected to ensure they fit our inventory. This facility is now arguably one of the best-stocked collections for sale in the US housing hundreds of unique automobiles all under one roof. We invite you to our facility! There is something for everybody when you come to visit.
After years of serving as central Ohio's premiere classic car dealer at Cruisin Classics Auto Sales, we saw an unfulfilled need that was not being met for our clients. We loved helping match our clients with the classic and American muscle cars of their dreams. But what about after the purchase? We recognized that our clients needed a trusted resource to continue to care for their classic vehicles. It did not sit well with us that our valued clients and their incredible vehicles were being outsourced to, sometimes several, third-party resources for maintenance and performance needs. We also wanted to help the many people that we had met over the years who already owned classic vehicles which were in need of restoration, upgrades, and maintenance. Too often, we were seeing vehicles with so much potential left sitting in garages under covers because their owners did not know who to turn to for such specialized work. It is our goal to offer our clients a truly comprehensive, seamless, and enjoyable classic car ownership experience, from purchase to maintenance to storage. Thus, Cruisin Classics Performance Center was born. We have cherry-picked the most talented, experienced, and passionate team of technicians to offer our clients a true one-stop-shop solution for any and all of their classic car needs. Our honest business model has lasted almost 25 years to date and Cruisin Classics has a worldwide reputation as one of the best in the business.
Outside of the shop, this business has afforded us the opportunity to be actively involved in our community and fulfill our goal of supporting several local and national organizations that hold a special place in our hearts. We are proud sponsors of the Kiwanis Club of Columbus, the Columbus USO, Honor Flight, Special Olympics, multiple car clubs, and much more.
In conclusion, 100% customer satisfaction is our main goal. Always has been.. always will be. We would like to invite anyone considering one of our vehicles to come to our beautiful facility to inspect the car in person or send somebody on your behalf.

Have you found the perfect collector vehicle on All Collector Cars? Before you make any decisions, we recommend that you take some time now to read the full description and review all the pictures with the listing. It’s important to do as much due diligence as you can before you contact the seller so that you’re prepared to ask about any flaws you see—and perhaps ones you don’t.
All Collector Cars allows our sellers to post unlimited vehicle pictures and descriptions, which gives you, the buyer, more control and information. In addition, our Buyers Resource section offers advice and vendor recommendations to guide you through the buying process, from classic car financing & insurance to collector vehicle shipping & restoration.
