Nova!

This Nova SS and every other Nova I see reminds
me of a guy I worked with back in the 70’s
He found himself in a sad situation and in need of a car.
He had some friends who rebuilt cars and was always helping
them out in their shop. They also gave him a place to stay.
They offered him a Nova because they were not paying him.
They did what they always do. They fixed it up!
Gleaming blue and chrome, fresh overhaul and it was beautiful.
Poor car was wrecked the first time he took it out.
He spun it out and flipped it over!
He had issues...

What a story! The Nova is certainly a classic of that time and you have quite a tale to go with that car model. V

My husband had a 69. And there's a really nice red one I've seen around the neighborhood. LOL about issues. Didn't we all have one friend like that? V

This one looks really nice and well taken care of. Too bad about the guy in your story. I have driven hundreds of them and they are not that hard to drive. ~V~
