I don't think anyone here owns a real nova.

I have a 78' Nova with a 305 & 4 barrell carb., Looks great and I love it. I get so many complements on it.

Everything is new or rebuilt- expertly crafted-built to run on unleaded high test.


This car was put together by the famous BLIND MAN, Bud Beem of Nashua, NH--- with help of friends and family. I've added a few things.
He built it for himself if he could ever see! He always liked red Novas.
Kinda shocking- he has never seen or driven the car he worked so hard on or 8 others he built.........

Is this real enough? Sorry no pictures, yet!

Your car sounds familliar! I live just over the border in Mass... do you go to the Amherst, NH car shows? It's the last Sunday of every month!

i have been running a 383 for about a year. man with the right parts they are torque monsters. i could never get my car to hook up untill i got those slide-a-link traction bars. then i started breaking first gear in my trannys. i had to have a tranny built and completely redo my rear end with 3.90s and a mini spool. it ran 11.25 in the 1/4. beat all cars i ever went up against on the street too. if you are interested im selling the motor that im talking about because i need more power. im building a small block 427 that with have about 1500 horse. im also selling the rear end and traction bars. take it easy

will have to travel to TX or cali or somewhere like that in order to find one to get,.

not really, bud..there are tons of restorable cars in neighboring states. my nova is from indiana (she's a hoosier!) im from illinios too, but i really wanted this car, so i drove 5 hours to pick it up.

A chevy is a chevy! When you through Toyota in the mix, you get a piece o shit - granny mobile. I don't care what it LOOKS like! Muscle Cars are for engine and power...not picnic tables on your trunk : )

[blue man]

who said anything about a picnic? point is: we don't buy these cars just for looks. if i wanted a pretty car id buy a caddie or a bmw or some other '05 thing. i bought MY nova in the hopes of making it a dragster.

[74NovaNick]

picnic tables! i.e ridiculous looking spoilers made of barbie dolls along with the rest of the car and its "body kit"....lets not forget "The Stereo!" and PS2's in the back seat.....GIMME A BREAK!!

[blue man]

though i do agree with the rest of what has been said, i fully intend on putting a nice system in the nova because when i got the car it was stripped down to almost nothing. it wont be anything with subs, simply because making everyone else listen to YOUR music is both rude and obsurd. maybe im an idiot in doing so, but i couldnt be happy otherwise.
