1967 Nova Ss, One Owner, Real Red/red, 327/275 Hp, 4 Speed, Unrestored, Pop, Wow on 2040-cars

On July 20, 1967, William Ferrell strolled into Allen Green Chevrolet in Burien, Washington in search of a new car.  Mr. Ferrell was stationed at the nearby Fort Lewis for basic training and wanted to get a new car before he was shipped off to Vietnam.  With his checks from Uncle Sam burning a hole in his pockets, he searched the lot for the perfect ride.  He found what he was looking for in a brand new 1967 Bolero Red Nova Super Sport.  It had matching red interior and a black vinyl top.  When he popped the hood, it got even better.  It had the factory installed 327 rated at 275 horsepower backed up by a 4 speed transmission.  This car fit the bill perfectly and after some paperwork was signed, William was driving his new Nova back to the base. 

To get his new car on the base, he was required to put a bumper sticker with his permit number on it. (it is still on the rear bumper) I also have the temporary permit from the dealer.  William ended up going to Vietnam and returned a year later to find his Nova just as he had left it.  With his duty to Uncle Sam fullfilled, he hopped in the Nova and drove it back to his home state of South Carolina where he and the car resided together until 2010. 

When I bought the car, it was totally original. Unlike so many other Novas, this one was loved and not changed.  It still had its complete original drivetrain down to the original carburetor, starter, distributor, alternator, shifter, etc.  It showed just over 60,000 miles on the odometer and no doubt are actual miles.  When I got the car, it smoked a little  so I pulled the engine and replaced, rings, bearings, gaskets, seals, and had the heads professionaly gone through.  I replaced the original clutch and installed period correct bias white wall tires.  The body was near perfect wearing most of its original Bolero red laquer. The body had absolutely no rust and only a few dings and bruises.  There is no evidence of any major damage and it still retains both of its original T 3 headlights.  I replaced the original vinyl top just because it had dried out and cracked over the years.  I also removed the carpet and had it professionaly cleaned.  While taking the carpet out I found a build sheet showing the drivetrain and color options.  (see picture)  Also under the seat was a few pictures of the car and family members from the late 60,s.  When the carpet was out I could see where at one time the heater core had leaked and left a very small amount of rust on the passenger side floor board.  Really not significant enough to even mention. 

When Mr. Ferrell bought the car, it not only had the best color combination and best drivetrain combination, it also had some pretty good factory options.  It came with the factory wood steering wheel, rear defroster, and front and rear bumper guards. 

I have lovingly preserved this car and has been in my personal collection for years now.  I will be selling off a few of my cars in the next few weeks including a one owner 1964 Nova Super Sport, 283 with 4 speed and factory air conditioning and a 1964 GTO original California Black plate car that has had a frame off restoration.
