I have always for some reason liked this body style of the Nova. I can't get my wife to buy into the same opinion. About the only real thing I don't care for is the way the exhaust(exzost-sellers words) exit the rear of the car. That needs to be changed. Reminds me of an old pick up.

Look like a good score to me.

I do know this, that if you got to ship it "down under" the price is going up!

I think it's beautiful. When I was in high school back in the '70s, that was one the rides to have if you were serious about cars but didn't have the scratch for a new Trans am. Price-wise, I don't think you stole it, but it looks like it's worth what you paid. Now to get 'er on the boat!

Sweet ride. I'd say you did pretty good from the looks of it.

Nice looking car. It makes me hope that my '69 will be worth what I have in it.

Looks great to me. Now I just hope he took more time on the build-up than he did in his description of the car. I am not an english major, but come on, that's pretty sad.

You didn't rip the seller off or anything. I believe you did pretty close to "about right."

Well you know I paid a pretty decent sum (167% more than you paid for the nova in fact ) for the 72 (see my sig) and I think its worth every penny. What it is worth to me may be a lot less or a lot more than what it is worth to someone else. I was actually looking at Novas before I decided on a Vette, and to be honest, I think you did quite well on yours! Grats!

Thanks for the kind words guy's
Hopefully it turns up in the same condition as the photos.

It was a little more than i wanted to spend, but i'm sick of looking.
With the extra spent on this it's going to push back my Blown
Big Block build from September to December, Jan maybe
