So what do YOU look like?

[billysotherdad]

You sell it -> you let me know -- DIBS ! I'll fly down and pick it up!

Oh...tempting...we'd have to talk $$$.

 

[RickinNYC]

Oh MAN! that is a seriously COOL car and for $500?!?!?!

Sadly my friend, i think you are even more wrong about this car than possibly okra and modern art...

$5000-$8000 is not wrong, it's all RIGHT

 

[billysotherdad]

Here she is in all her sunshiny glory!!

Momma needs a new pair of shoes..

Yeah.. much over $5k and I'm out of the running on this one tho.

OMG

Matching Rims!

Dude, bring that thing down here to Kissimmee and I'm telling you....$10K!

Hey -- we are talking teeny tiny US play money dollars here. The exchange rate has seriously shifted. $5000 C is probably worth about $5,000,0000 US these days.

Okay, I can NOT believe I'm going to participate in the car talk, but here goes.

Joe, it's a beautiful car, and it brings back wonderful memories of my carefree high school days driving my 1972 Blue Nova Coupe (about the color of yours, actually, but it had a white top) Bought it from it's original owner (my grandfather) for $500 also (which to a teenager working as a bus-boy in 1986 was a LOT of money). Sadly, the car is no longer with us. My sister drove it into a telephone pole, and cracked the engine block after I was in college.

Still, lots of fond memories. Both of riding with Papa and then driving it myself.

I say, definitely take the road trip before selling it. You can't put a price tag on that kind of experience.

Okay, enough car talk, let's talk about a Broadway Musical instead!

All rims match but 1. One was replaced and doesn't match the other three, unfortunately. If I could find just that one on line and snap it on, there'd be all four. I was tempted to take them all off and leave them in the house when I bought the car for fear of someone stealing them. But so far, no one has.

The only problem on the inside is a tear on the back seat near the window. Otherwise, it's a survivor. Engine is in top-notch condition and rust free. There's a small bit of rust on the wheel wells, and the paint is beginning to fade on the roof, but that's about it.

Why Kissimmee??

 

[ConcKahuna]

Hey that would pay for one heck of a road trip! We could even stop at South of the Border for taco's!

I'm cool with the road trip, but tacos at SOTB??

I've had Chili dogs at that Stuckey's, but even that's a major test of gastro-intestinal fortitude.

And I always laugh at the Chevy Nova, especially if you find a commercial for it in spanish. No Va is "No Go" or "Doesnt Go" in Spanish.

Kind of like this Mazda car name, also a phrase in Spanish...

Lot's of "car clubs" down here.

Old Town is YOUR town!

 

[billysotherdad]

So then, the Road Trip would have to be from here to Florida, where I would then sell the Nova and either buy a new car to drive home, or fly home.

We could get peanuts in Virginia. Stop at Paula Deen's restaurant in GA and then go and sell the car.

Rick, you can have the whole back seat to yourself!!

 

[TuckandStuiesMom]

Does it have the powerglide transmission or the hydromatic?

 

[OrlandoMike]

Hey back when I had Saturdays off, we went to Old Town all the time!

It was actually a lot of fun!

 

[npmommie]

I know my picture is on my avatar, but I figured what the heck.

This was one of those I-need-a-picture-immediately pictures. I call it "Looking At Self In Small Mirror In Grubby Bathroom".

after work, one afternoon, moving the car from one side of the street to the other...Me...in THE NOVA. Yes, it's a self-portrait.

holy double hot!!!

Ooh! If you're stopping at Paula Deen's restaurant, there are a couple items I need you to pick up and bring to me!

Their names are Jamie and Bobby Deen. WOOF!

Fun fact!

The serial number on the scrambler at Old Town is #0000001!

Yep! It was the first scrambler ever built!

I'm assuming you don't mean something used to prepare eggs . . .
