I've been attempting to contact a friend and former coworker for the past two weeks, to no avail. So, I took another route ; I typed "1970 SS 396 Nova Shadow Grey" , and the following hit was found :http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/519133/1970_SS_396_L34_Nqova
My heart sank into my gut ; that was his car !!! For. Sale. I thought the worst scenario right off ; then I called the number in the o.p. and spoke to the now former owner . Very nice guy ;he allied my fears , stating that the guy he bought the Nova from --- my friend --- was in high spirits .
I can only keep trying to reach my friend. He's in his late 60s ; a tad antisocial ; and he despises phones ( ha ha ha ).
Anyhow, just wanted to vent. I'd hate to realise that he'd sold his cars due to mitigating circumstances not privvy to outsiders...
