i need someone to answer a question: i saw an ad in the paper for a 1972 chevy nova straight six engine, 57,000 miles. exterior and interior is pretty good just needs some new brake lines i think. he wants $1800 for it. is this a good deal?? i want to buy it but im not sure.i wanted to buy it and maybe swap it with a .454 or something
@stockedmuscle if its a 2 door, with a fairly good body (no rust) and only has 57k on the drivetrain????? What are you waiting for???? $1800 isn't shit for a good nova.
@mizzpink.........Actually, I really like and participate in drag racing. It's just that the full-blown "pro-street" look for a street car is just a little out dated. I once had thoughts of tubbing my '55 Chevy years ago, but now thank God I didn't. It's kinda' like a mullet........what was once cool.....now, not so much.
I'm happy with it running 10:70's (on 9" tires) at the track and then turn arond and driving it home...or anywhere else I want.
if you want to go faster than a 10.70 like this nova does, you probably need wider tires which requires tubbing. this is driven on the street. it's not some fad, man. it's just a drag car driven on the street.
u know why is it, everytime i watch a badass video of a badass old muslce car, we always have some stupid ass talking shit like "SPIRITUALMATRIX", and may i add that is the most faggit fucking screen name i have ever heard of. so please. why dont u just watch a video of your pussy smart cars, or some other bullshit 4 banger. and leave us "real" men alone so we cant watch awsome muscle cars. your prob is u prb dont know how to drive a real car.
cutlass, they are really low priced right now because everyone is into the 4 4 2 's and you can find decent conditions ones for 3-4 grand trust me an amazing buy right now.
don't know what insurance company you go through, but is sure is ass backwards from every insurer i've ever had or inquired about. Every single one of them my Acura is MUCH cheaper to insure than any of my classics. Mainly for two reasons, they don't have nearly the safety features, and they are MUCH more likely (and easier) to be stolen.
very true just ask my dad. he paints, does body work and rebuilds motors plus he used to race. something some of these people wouldn't have a clue about.
he has owned a 66 chevy truck for over 25 years and still has it. i think for 1 year his insurance is around $200.00. not bad.
Completely 100% Agreed. One day I want to buy a Nova or Chevelle without a motor and do this to it. Love that deep rumbling exhaust note American big block engines have.
@Trendyrapslut cheaper to fix a classic??? err not to sure about that,,,panel work is a nightmare on old cars i have to say,,,but each to their own,,maybe im just shit house at panel work hahaha
dont diss the muscle car owner / builder they are classic and will always be a classic not like them tuners that lose value 30 mins after u drive it off the lot besides chicks dig the muscle car every 1 knows that
You shallow stupid shit honkeys are the smart ones you can restore them and take them to a show and win a prize which raises the sell value. you can restore one for around 5k and once you have finished and taken it to a show and win a prize you can sell it for around 30k. naive bastartd
sm - I see NOTHING "spiritual" about your pedantic tirade. Are you one of those Nazi skinheads, a white supremacist or just some goofball looking for attention?
whats your deal with honkies haha my neighor is black and he restores cars all kinds of people restore cars and wtf is with the jews thing your just spouting racism like hitler cept reversed haha
okay let's not get into the whole "race" issue. we are commenting on a freakin' nova! i have seen many different nationalities get into drag racing/fixing up old cars. i don't see what color has to do with it.
and spiritual matrix, it's obvious that it isn't a street car with slicks and a wheelie bar on it. he's probably just driving it to whatever show he's going to, the cops are actually pretty cool with stuff like that on graffiti weekend here in California.
i just dont' understand why you would spend that much money just for looks and sound. It's like buying one of those flashy butane lighters instead of a zippo.
Any TRUE (race) car guy knows that thing is a bag of shit. Hell, I own a Nova and I can tell you right now that thing is a total dud. No blower, just a tunnel ram and I can hear that the cam ha zero overlap, indicating low duration and a wide lobe separation. Further, the owner should be shot for putting lakepipes on a Nova.
Ha don't make fun dumbass... Not everyone has to run boost throught their engine to have a fast car.. and yes there was valve overlap... its just not too radical.. if u WERE IN FACT A REAL GEARHEAD u would be able to notice that... Its just a budget car that probably runs 10's and just looks mean... until I see u post a video of ur car I say quit talking shit...
yeah that has to be the dream cruise but there is so many cars/Muscle cars out on this day u get tired of lookin @ them cuz u can't see them all it's just too many this is really motor city im lookin foward to goin this year
its called the rod run in tenessee theirs a shit load a bad cars and their are people from all over the country their. and alot of drunk naked girls their too
I remeber seeing that car seems like it was 06a few months before i went to boot camp. That was at a rod run in Pigeon Forge. Always fun times but the cops are starting to be real assholes.
wiplash is pretty cool. The coolest licenseplate i've ever seen was on a DMC 12 (Delorean) with plates saying "xlr8288" (accelerate to 88). lol, i laughed my ass off!
wow i havnt seen this car in years, i knew it was ir just by looking at the picture,, this is the gatlinburg rod run, i think around 2005-2006, this car's license plate says whiplash haha
umm he had mufflers and it defianely passes a safety test so its prolly street legal. i have a 69 el camino and no1 out in my town cares about street legal but i guess in bigger places more people care
I saw this same nova behind us at a stop light in charleston sc
