Nick Winter Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 (edited) This is for my garage diorama. it is a AMT/ ERTL 1976 nova drag car from my first five models ever the only thing is everytime I chose a diffrent color I never stripped it. This car has alot of rust and body damage aswell as mix matched body panels so this ones from wisconsin.

Joe Handley Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 One of my co-workers has a real '76 Nova with the I-6........it's not in much better shape than that one, but it does run! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard tell that these cars could be under water and still fire up and drive out, there just that reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Handley Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Seeing that he's got an inline instead of a SBC, , it would probably start with water in it....................................................and I wouldn't be the least bit suprised if he would try that either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do make good boat anchors though. lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may be necessary, I think he's been sniffing around a Cliffords catalog and is planning on "fixing" most of the rust issues too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Snyder Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 That looks like the one my cousin drove in high school!!!! I had a 75 2 Door that my Gram gave me. It looks like you've seen what happens to 1:1 Novas. Mine was the I6 also and it would run without oil or water in it and wouldn't die. I tried to kill it so I could put a small block 383 stroker in it (didn't work). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did my reasearch, I went over to my cousines and snapped a bunch of pictures. A 383 would have been awesome in one of these cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
