Looks like an awesome car for the money, but be VERY careful about the salvage title. Don't be too quick to believe everything this guy says. Do cars really get a salvage title just from being impounded? 
If everything's clean, though, it seems like one awesome deal, and I definitely say go for it!

ya dont really care about the salvage title as long as frame aint beyond repair
I do wonder if that salvage would follow it across the border though

What about flood damaged?
Love those early Nova's, my neighbor had one when I was growing up. Curious to see if the price remains low.

Nice car, I dont know about the sellers description of the exhaust,,,souinds almost obscene 
. I'd say go for it if it checks out title wise,, probably really glorified for the sale but looks like a nice start. Peace,,,Moosie

Ask him for the hi-res photos. My take on ebay is, if the seller can't post good quality photo's and lot's of them, along with a straight forward no BS description, it isn't worth buying. There are no photo's of the underside of the car, these are notorious for rot. There is no frame. A salvage title to boot.
10k is a lot for a car you can't see. If it's an original Calif car and the floors, shock towers, cowl/firewall, trunk are solid and original, I might be able to justify the price if I were looking for a Nova. The '65 and earlier Nova's, are the least desirable of the shoebox bodies so don't overpay. A true SS is a plus. Have you driven one of these Nova's? They don't handle or steer like the Camaro you want, so you may want to wait. You could get a decent C3 or C4 for 10k.
