That's funny. I'm half-heartedly looking for a 348 for it. I'll keep the factory 235 if someone would want to make it original again. It had the factory full cover hub caps, but I saw these and had to have them. I hadn't thought about the "poverty caps". That's a good idea.

I really like what you are doing to your car.

There is something about those old W engines that makes them cool. My ex's father has a few 348 & 409 cars. One is a factory 348 tri power convertable with a four speed and air conditioning. I used to walk past that car in the warehouse and daydream about what it would be like to bang gears in it.

So did you ever get to take it for a ride ?

Nope, Dale doesn't let anyone drive his cars - not even his daughter. He rarely drives them, he has 30+ cars and trucks. He would have been the ideal father-in-law.

I would to but another stock Nova.Novas rock.

I like the Novas too. My brother had a 10 second '72 Nova. We would spend every weekend at the drag strip. I miss those days at Detroit Dragway.

My fitst car at 15 was a 69 Nova POS but I loved that old car .

Yup, Novas are pretty cool. I'm always on the lookout for a first gen gasser candidate, but the deals always come around when I can't do anything about it. :(

Last weekend I was at a car show and my dream car pulled in. It was a 2 door Nomad.......Someday I will own one, and I will drive the hell out of it.
