My Trucks name is simply Trukk
My 70 Nova is Jezabell (a shameless little hussy)
My 72 Nova I nick named Devil in a Blue Dress.
I also talk to my cars too... They're not much for words but they are great listeners.

Grace(my first love) and in front of my first love I call her "my baby" just so I don't seem too obsessive lol.

Ahh, Layla, my pretty little temptress. She's a 1970 MGB GT named after a 1970 Eric Clapton song that came on the stereo after I electrocuted myself trying to locate the short that was killing the turn signals.

Awww, that's so... heartwarming.
I call my 924 Rapunzel for now, because she's so effing hard to get to! :mad:
Later, I'll think of a suitable name for a sleek sexy German hotty that's a joy to drive ;)

'Suga' is the Bonneville's name. I called the PT Cruiser 'Bones' (cuz it looks like a hearse from the back) and the old bonneville was 'Dusty' cuz it always looked dirty...the old champaigne colour had faded out on the old one.
My best friend calls her green Escort wagon 'Frog' and my fiance calls her teal Grand Am 'Shemp'.
That's all the cars i know that have names.
Redneck, i agree...i talk to Suga all the time...she's the best woman i know... doesn't want to talk after i ride her, just wants to sleep. Like me!
Hehehe j/k :frog:

I could say yes.. but that would be untruthful.
So..
Yes. Yes it is.

So what do you need to get your Nova back on the road? Just a new tranny or what?

buy new transmission, rear end, rear suspension, and put the 383 into the 72.
All of which takes time and more importantly... money. Being out of work for.. over a month now. Minimal money...
In time though... all in time.

Yikes... Are you planning to upgrade to IRS? That would be so cool :D

it took me ten minutes to figure out what the shit IRS ment...
but no, im not upgrading to independant rear suspension.
just upgrading to Four-Leaf Springs and 50/50 Gas shocks.
fairly simple swap, take about 5 hours if I dont kill myself unloading the leaf springs from the car... they can have a wicked kick back if you're not careful.

1984 Dodge Daytona: Big Red.
1985 Jeep Wagoneer: Shagin' Wagon.
1989 LeBaron GTC: The Red Baron
1994 Eagle Vision TSi: Blueshifted
My project LeBaron when complete, I will paint it red and it will be just like my old GTC and I will name it The Phoenix.

I'd think carefully about this... hunt in the yards in the mean time, you might find a good deal on F body or Corvette rear suspension... hell, you could take front suspension too.
Might take a bit of work to make it fit, but it wouldn't cost much more, and then you could beat a lot of cars in the corners too. Imagine the look on an S2000 drivers face as you stick with him in the twisties and blow by on the straightaway?

Yeah, I was even thinking of getting a licence plate suround that said, I'm not speeding, I'm just flying low. And the plate would say CULATER.
Then again, I get enough attention from cops. :D

hahah I'm selling my old Nova, it would cost me too much to get it into a decent shape. Reason why i bought the 72, it came already completed with a good body, and brand new interior. Those too alone would cost $2800 to put into my 70, I bought the 72 for $2000 with a blown motor. Not to mention the time and effort that goes into body work and interior.
I hope you can see the logic in that. Pull an el swapo and have a decent looking car that goes hella quick. Instead of a White Trash beater that goes hella quick.
There is a shop up near me that has a Nova that If I remember correctly can hang with Z06s on the skid pad. And a Z06 pulls down a 1.04 I think. The guy says for like $700-800 he can make my Nova do that too.. bench seat and all. Hahah.
The thought crossed my mind... maybe if I get bored of straight lines. Plus a well equipted suspension on a Nova handles good on its own. You may not know but the Camaro was based off the Nova chassis. And the 1st and 2nd Gen Camaros handled pretty good, seeing as they used them in the Trans Am racing series... lets not forget the Nova is lighter too. :)
