There are things that I will assume of you if you are going to bid on this classic.....
1) You have more than passing interest and knowledge of this individual car and have educated yourself in its stats, information, value, and wide availability of parts
2) You realize that this in not an "everyday driver", it is a project. And even though it does run and drive it will need to be inspected and maintenance performed before it is safe for road use.
3) You have at least basic mechanical knowledge and are aware of the time, money, and energy it takes to restore a vehicle like this.
4) I expect you to contact me if you have any questions that were not answered by the ad by either email or phone (912-660-4694)
5) Last but not least I expect you to read the entire ad, look at all the photos, and watch the videos I have posted so that you have the best possible understanding of this car's condition.

Thanks, and happy bidding!

NO RESERVE! I have this 1971 Chevy Nova Super Sport, it belonged to a lady's late husband here in Savannah Georgia and was stolen from her driveway and taken to a recycling yard. The yard put it to the side since it seemed kind of odd that someone would want to crush it, the police showed up later to recover it for her. The recycling yard ultimately purchased the car from the lady who at that point had no idea what she would do with it anyway, and then I purchased the car from the recycling yard. So when I say it is a survivor car, I mean it just barely survived. 
As a result of the interesting way I bought the car I was never able to get the keys or title, the lady had already moved from the address the recycling yard had on file. Georgia law allows you to buy, register, tag, and drive a vehicle with no title if it is a 1985 or earlier model year. Check with your state on applicable laws.

Yes it is a true SS, the body color, top color, engine code, rear end (12 bolt), trim tag, catalyst sticker, VIN number, and door sticker all match. The transmission is not the original transmission, at some point a TH200 was swapped in where it should have a TH350. The trans is not "coded" and TH350's are easy to come by so it should be easy to swap in the correct part for 100% value. I have done only the most minimal work to it so that it starts, runs, and drives, I have left everything else the way I found it aside from vacuuming it out and putting some tires on it, leaving the choice of direction with the car up to the next owner. The car is very much original besides some small details like an electronic distributor. It has not been cut or hacked, or modified, or hot-rodded. It will need restoring to bring it back to its former glory, but mechanically speaking it is running and driving well enough to be loaded on a trailer or car carrier. Some time needs to be spent on making the brakes work better, and the wiring for the headlights and front turn signals needs to be sorted. I have taken the time to take as many pictures as possible (ebay has a terrible policy that only allows for 24 photos, see the rest of the photos at the link below) and have made a couple videos that can give you the best idea of its condition.

Junkyard Gem: 1980 Chevrolet LUV Mikado

Sat, Oct 9 2021

During the 1970s and into the 1980s, each member of the Detroit Big Three imported Japanese small pickups and sold them with Ford (Mazda Proceed), Dodge/Plymouth (Mitsubishi Forte), or Chevrolet (Isuzu Faster) badges here. Ford developed the Ranger and killed the Courier for 1983 (though Americans could still buy the Mazda-badged version all the way through 1993), while The General axed the LUV after the S-10 debuted in the 1982 model year. Isuzu sold the same truck as the P'up through 1987, though, and we might as well follow up our recent P'up Junkyard Gem with its LUV predecessor. LUV stood for Light Utility Vehicle, and I've managed to spot a handful in the boneyards over the years. This one now resides in a yard in northeastern Colorado. The Mikado trim package included striped seat upholstery and a sporty steering wheel, plus these cool dash badges. As far as I can tell, no LUV Mikado advertising featured any Gilbert and Sullivan tunes. This one is fairly rusty for Front Range Colorado, and it has endured a bed swap from some other small truck. The engine is the 75-horse Isuzu 1.8-liter. Members of this engine family went into everything from Chevy Chevettes to Isuzu Troopers in the United States. Very unusually for a small pickup during the Malaise Era, this one has a luxurious automatic transmission. Acceleration must have been a leisurely affair in this truck. Air conditioning? Unheard of! Someone stuck every one of their lunchtime apple stickers on the driver's door. After 41 years of work, this truck is done. Come on strong in a LUV of your own!

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica

Fri, 03 Aug 2012

If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.

2015 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra recalled for steering issues

Thu, Sep 13 2018

DETROIT — General Motors Co is recalling more than 1 million pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles in the United States due to issues with a temporary loss of power steering, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said. The recall is for 2015 models. They are: the Chevy Silverado 1500, Suburban and Tahoe, GMC Sierra 1500, Yukon and Yukon XL and Cadillac Escalade. The problem may cause difficulty steering the vehicle, especially at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash, the auto safety regulator said in a document dated Sept. 12. The document did not highlight any reports of accidents and injuries, because of the power steering issue. GM dealers will update the power steering module software, free of charge for owners of the affected vehicles. In 2014, the No.1 U.S. automaker had recalled nearly 800,000 pickup trucks worldwide because of the same problem. GM did not immediately respond to a request for comment.Related Video:
