Nice stance. Love the look of a nova. That must be his most valuable possession cause of the family history.

I love seeing this old Nova again. I remember helping Mike's brother work on this bad boy back in the old days. Still have a scar on my knuckle helping him with it. Many hot NorCal summer days in this car, and I don't recall the AC ever working! Thanks for the stroll down memory lane!

@adrianefairchild4750 Год назад

So good to see this beauty again. Mike was my brother in law. I was married to his older brother Mark. Boy, he loved working on and driving that Nova! Spent many days/nights wrenching on it with him. He taught me a lot! Great memories...thank you! RIP

@impslap7620 3 года назад

OMG. This is mechanically VERY similar to my '71. LS3 TR6060, 9-inch, TruTurn, etc. I even bought it from the second owner since '74. Very cool car. Sad story but nice to see he honors his family with this.

Glad someone else has sentimental attachment to a vehicle. My son Aaron's 1997 Honda which he drove for a year sits in my driveway. Everyone thinks I am crazy for wanting to repaint it . Paint is in the gagage but age is catching up to me. My heart says yes, my body says no. And I owned a 1972 Nova which made me post this. I love doers and dreamers.

@tfjack97 2 года назад

What a story, makes the car very special for the young man. Even with out the story it's a dam nice Nova. Even has a dam nice paint job, drive, wash repeat. Sorry to hear about his losses he went through, but maybe when he is out driving he can just think back on the past owners and get a big ol smile, the bigger the smile the faster it will probably go. Thanks for the awesome video and story.

@GlassTopRX7 3 года назад

The Camaro and Nova sub-frames are the same aside from some mounting holes. The later Camaro's got updated sub-frames, in the rear the track is narrower by 2" on the Nova vs Camaro. That's one hell of long shift throw for something he autocrosses with. My shift throw is about inch if that.
