re: #50 The Very Reverend Battleaxe of Knowledge

Friend of mine bought a ‘77 Nova new, and finally got rid of it at 450,000 miles because the seat springs kept poking him and it wasn’t worth replacing the seats.

I find that easy to believe. Solid little cars that, if you stuck the right small block chevy V8 in could surprise serious racers. Chevy was always about cheap - but a lot of times it was more “inexpensive” instead and you could surprise the kids with money for the fancy muscle cars. Hell, a nova with a 350, a four barrel & a tweaked T10? But a grandma paint job and nothing sticking out of the hood? Yeah, trust me, you could win some beer.
