Found a new project at Pomona

Very cool! Great buy, these Novas are already taking off. Reminds me of the condition of mine when I bought it....nothing like a straight, unmolested car to start with. Keep us posted!

I saw that car out there but was looking for a second gen Camaro. How much did you get it for?

I seems like there's at least on sweet "grandma" Nova out there every month.

Nice score!

Congrats on the new project!
I have a soft spot for those Novas since I had a '68 & '74 back in the day.
Have fun with it.

Nova, the next camaro?

Pays to have a friend that is a retired paint & body guy. He checked the car out with me. He refuses to paint cars any more, but his knowledge is invaluable when shopping for cars like these.

Got the car pretty cheap. Funny enough, I still paid about $300 more than the sticker price in 1970 (it was on the title).

The build will go in spurts. Basically as time and $$$ permit.

Found a surprise under the Nova.


Someone has installed a power rack. Don't recognize the kit.. might be something someone cooked up.


The "new" look


Black etch coat primer was sprayed to cover all the bald spots from previous owner. Not pretty, but MUCH better than bare metal.


3 point retractable seat belts install.


Got the car back from San Diego last weekend. Had the windshield replaced and got all the DMV stuff done this past week. This weekend I installed the 3 point seat belts, cleaned it up, did a tune up, and tinkered around with some of the small wiring gremlins.

The waiting parts list is growing. Picked up a subframe with DSE coil over conversion already done, along with the arms and Koni's.

Have the rest of the small engine parts on there way, just need to finalize my plans for the front accessories.

Looks like a great find.
Keep us posted on all mods.

I'm interested in the Rack & Pinion steering set-up. Where did it come from and how can use it on my 69 Camaro (?).
