My 1969 Chevy Nova

[Smittro]

3 speed manual column shift.

Ah 3 on the tree! Seems like they could only seem to find second gear in a pinch.

Ah 3 on the tree!

Never heard that before.

Never heard that before.

Really? Man... now I really feel old

My 1st car was a 54 Chevy wagon with a "3-on-the-tree" and "Armstrong power steering". Took 6+ turns lock to lock. It's what I took my drivers test in. Big car with power nothing...

Sorry bout that ...

I took my drivers test in a Dodge Minivan ... Power everything, pretty big period. But I passed

[KahanaReef]

I took mine in a 65 Mustang. Power nothing

[Firebirdjones]

Very cool. Subscribed to see the progress. I noticed the setback on the radiator also -- never saw anything like that before.

Yep, that's typical 4 cyl stuff. Just seldom seen nowadays. Pretty cool find.

Wow, I never thought I'd see the day when Dodge Minivans were considered big.

That's comparable to a sport compact coming from my era

Actually, the nova in this thread was considered small when it was new. Abody chevelles, buicks and pontiacs were considered mid size,,,but I guess nowadays people think those are big, lol.

I know, right I call it just right. Not to big and not to small. Yep... just right

That's how I feel too. Enough room to be comfy but not excessively large to the point it's hard to manuver.

Some of these cars made now are so tiny it's down right scary. Ever see those little 2 seater smart car thingys running around?? Holy Moly I'd hate to get T-boned in one of those

Power to weight ratio baby! Put a turbo'd Hayabusa engine/tranny with ~300+ ponies in one of those....

Still hate to get T-boned in one though...

One of my neighbors has one. It's..... cute.

I'm not saying I don't like little cars. Little cars can be a blast. My Alfa is a fun little car for sure. But, nothing beats driving the mid size.

Shoot, I had to drive around a 66 Lincoln for a few weeks. That thing was a huge tank I was super happy to have my Chevelle back

[Firebirdjones]

Ya I like power to weight ratio's too. I ran several little Vegas and Monzas with a nice little 406 for years as daily drivers.

I always like to see little cars with big motors in them. Maybe if they put a V8 in that little Smart thing they'd sell a few more of them
As ugly as they are,,,I think I might have to buy one then

[KahanaReef]

My first car was a 71 Vega. One of my favorite cars still to this day

Awesome project car OP... I wish I had the funds, knowledge, and time to do something like that. It hurts to think how cool would it be to take something like this and turn it into a Death Proof Nova replica...

[Firebirdjones]

I give,,,,,,,What in the world is a death proof nova???

[KahanaReef]

I'd like to know myself

[pajeff02]

Never heard of such a thing.

Friend had a Nova in college that we affectionately called "The Iron Pig". It was aptly named.

[KahanaReef]

I had a freind in high school who had a 70 and we called it the blue monster

From the movie Death Proof.
