Nova is a 10 at 10 feet. It is a 73 with a 69 front clip. Was a 307 by the radiator panel, anyway. Now has a 327 from his father's junk pile. The carb is sloppy. The trans is a barely holding TH350. Plus it is a small open diff rear. The chrome rims, also bought / stole them from his dad for 200.
PS: the red 60 corvette is his dad's. Not to mention Grand dad is a motor head too. So, it is helpful to trade parts in the family. Dad was smart to make the kid work for the parts. I talked with his dad, the kid got fair prices from his oldman. He still needs odds and ends, but drives that Nova to school every day. I've got a similar plan for my kid's cars. My oldest is 13 and she has already eyed up a few blue cheap F body coupes. My rule: anything mopar. Her request: as long as it is blue and her sister cannot get the same car. So 1 Aspen and 1 Volare is in the future.
I hope noone thought I was giving my cars to my kids. They get to build their very own
