    I had a 76 nova and that was the best $300 I ever spent. Words cannot express just how much I missed that car.

      I can understand that! I miss most of the ones I’ve sold.

    Just bought a 1979 nova with 24000 original miles. Time capsule! Inline 6 a/c car.

    Beautiful color!! I can't believe that he had no previous body or welding experience. Very well done, and great gas mileage to boot!

      1 barrel carburetor will get you those mpg numbers, if he had either a 3 or a 4 speed manual transmission, it would be closer to 25- 26 MPG

    The NOVA SS has a different interior..
    Biggest mistake I ever made in my life was when I sold my NOVA...??!?

    I always liked the look of the Nova's. Nice car and there's so much you can do with a straight 6 for performance.

    I'm impressed with the results! For someone with no real painting experience, your buddy has minor imperfections that someone would really have to LOOK for to find.
    And the Rally grill is definitely a gorgeous upgrade.

    • @homeofchrome
      @homeofchrome  Před 2 lety

      Yeah, for a first time painter spraying metallic he did a great job!

    @donperry4573 Před rokem +1

    I had the same year color of Nova, except for the interior, mine was I think hounds tooth, with a factory 4 speed transmission behind the 250, which actually got it up to 101 mph with the 8.25 inch 3.42 limited slip differential

    I owned the 77 Nova here in London in 1984, 250ci engine but it had an auto shifter on the centre console and split seats?? It came from a surplus auction at U.S air force base Lakenheath, Suffolk UK. Do you know the model variations? all I know is it originally entered Belgium (or Chevrolet had a factory there!) Best wishes
