Default Parts

Hey buddy, oh ya absolutely I will grab the nova for the parts even if I have to shelf a build until my current build is done.

Greg, not at all .. I don't want to hear fluff, i want honesty and thats what I'm getting.

I'll figure it out, but leaning towards building another 69' ... but possibly a convertible this time

cheers
Steve

Buy the Nova and take all the parts you can and build a Camaro.
If you want to make some money.

Okay --- having had a few '69 Camaro Convertibles in my time -- just remember to cure the cowl shake - or you'll be hating the car. So make sure you're planning on really tying the car together.

Years ago we got Stielow a Nova to build. I ranted to him that even though it would be cool, when it cam time to sell it would bring nowhere near a Camaro and would cost the same or maybe more to build. Wheel 2 Wheel-Kurt Urban built it into Joe Nova with the twin Rotrex superchargers. I think it even made the cover of Hot Rod. Really cool car that had about 250K spent on it. A friend bought it later at auction for 40 something thousand. He loves the car.

How much did the Speedtech Nova bring? Wasn't it at auction when the guy from Australia bought it I think? I would assume that's one of the most recent high end Nova builds there are.

Wow. I remember that car. Totally cool and your friend got a great deal.

It should also be remembered that car was built as a "derelict sleeper" which must also limit its appeal compared to a paint/chrome/billet car.

But I know nothing about market values either.
