I feel as if the proper name for this picture should be something along "Nova death row" or "Thank god their not fords"

Gotta love an ad for seven cars with only two pictures. To a northern guy, those Novas don't look so bad.

A Nova is cheap enough to get into order that even with restoration I'd still be saving money over a newer car. Get something that'll last longer, too, especially with re-coating with modern anti-corrosion materials.

Find a grandma car, running and complete, rust-free. They're still out there by the thousands. Far FAR cheaper than trying to restore something that's been in the swamp-east, uncovered and wet for 30 years.

But id rather something that i enjoyed restoring and building the way i wanted it and crusing down the strip on friday nights

Unfortunately if you can't restore it yourself it would cost you way more to make one for todays safety standards...Labor rates are sky high and parts

aren't cheap any more..If you had lots of disposable money you could make a real sweet ride. Too good to be a daily driver...My little two cents worth.

You miss the point entirely. Buy the grandma car as a STARTING POINT, instead of a tin-worm-eaten POS. Restore and modify that relatively easily instead of fabbing rot repairs for a hundred hours or more. Or not.

It takes an experienced fabricator / sheet-metal restoration guy to look at some piece of junk in a field and tell if it's at all cost-effective to bring it back. It usually isn't, especially when there are thousands of solid donor cars still to be had cheaply.

Everyone should save at least one vintage car in their lifetime. And as many shelter Dogs as possible....

Gas Monkey Garage could redo that entire line of Novas in a week or two!
