I don't blame you. I would take an old Nova over a 5th gen any day of the week.

That Nova looks real nice! Not too expensive either.

After seeing the car - The biggest problem he will have is deciding what to do with it. It looks too good to cut up.

Yes defiantly too NICE to cut up.

If you want a modified Nova just go buy one already done or close to done instead of cutting up this piece of rolling history. My Dad bought a Nova race car ready to rock for around $15k. He even won Pinks all out Sonoma with it do to it being a built race car, it just squats and goes, no drama.

I know....Im really torn here.....Its a tough choice. To do a resto mod costs big money and you usually almost never get a good return...which I didnt buy it for an investment but for fun.....Thanks for the advice!
