differences between 69 & 70 Nova?

[67 ls1 vert]

Looking to buy a 1969 nova for my son. Is the 69 or the 70 the preferred year?

For the Camaro, seems like most people like the 1969 model.

Whats the difference between the 1969 and the 1970 novas? I know they offer different engines but I mean the dash, exterior, body lines,etc...?

Thanks for your help.

Ft parking lights, rear tail lights, side marker lights, also there are small differences in the interior and exterior trim. I like them both the same so I don't know which one is the preferred out of the two. The 68 is the same as the 69 but the dash layout is completely different and the inside door locks are moved further back on the doors.

The nova I was looking at is really clean with nice paint. No rust. inline 6 that was rebuilt about a year ago. Rally wheels.
Nice interior. One small dent on the whole car. Nice driver.

My son really has it bad for a nova and I thought this would be a good starter car. Not a lot of power to get in to much trouble with.
Maybe later on we can swap out to a V8.
The guy wants 6000 for it. After looking at a lot of novas that seems to be a good price for a running clean no rust car. I see them selling for 3000 to 4000 for pretty ruff rusted cars.

Sounds like a nice car. A 72 Nova was my first car.

i think the 70 lost the fake "gills" in the front fenders.. other than a few minor trim items, they are the same car.
if you want to clean up the visuals of the car a little bit, doors from a 73-74 bolt on and don't have the wing windows. might even be able to just put the glass and weatherstripping from the newer car into the older door shell..
