Nice! My first car was a Orange 72 Nova 250 w/powerglide. In those days I didn't know the difference between 6 or 8 cylinders.

Sounds like an awesome ride.
It's nice to hear of one more young man getting into an old school classic!

Tell him good luck with her, and get more of his friends into the old stuff : )

My only news so far was an in route call from my oldest son Thomas, who rode with Daniel. Picking up the trailer the UHaul guy noted that Daniel was mighty young to be interested in that kinda car. There was also the couple that passed them on the freeway and then slowed back down and asked if he wanted to sell it.
I told him to get used to it.
Every gas stop will be an adventure......

It looks like my first car- white 70 Nova w/ black bench seat 6 banger/3 on the tree. Bench seat made it good for dating...

Sweet looking Nova. I have a pretty fresh 355 sbc with a blower looking for a home. I think it will fit under that hood!

She looks awesome!

Just like you said David, forget about being in a hurry when he takes that ride out in public!!

My buddy wanted me to buy his 70 Nova SS 350-4 speed last year that he owned since about 1973. She was so cool, but just couldn't swing it with my oldest at Penn State. It just killed me to watch her go away on a strangers trailer.
