1969 Nova Survivor

[L78M22Rag]

I just had to post this given that there are a lot of guys here that share my taste for originality and patina...

I'd pick it up for myself, but I'm already trying to make room in my garage for something else. On that note, if anyone can steer me towards an unrestored COPO or supercar (as per my wanted post), I'd appreciate it.

I'm doing well, thanks... I've been busy shoveling snow and flooding the rink in the back yard for the kids.
Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Life would be great if I could find a COPO with the patina that this Nova has!

Seller says it needs paint, don't tell him it's better without. I am really getting tired of shiny cars. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/haha.gif

[ORIGLS6]

Agreed; it doesn't need paint, just some love and attention. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

I couldn't have said it any better!

I love survivors but I do think this old girl needs........paint!

[al8apex]

*I* disagree ...

too many shiny cars, not enough of the real deal stuff left

no one will remember what they looked like after 5 years of use

[Salvatore]

There is a thin line between having a pretty nice survivor or having a real nice repainted car. Maybe does not need to be restored, not crazy about restored cars anymore but to paint? Why not? Can always paint it lacquer were it will not shine as much.

Hay Sammy....&quot;Paint it lacquer so it wont shine as much&quot;... <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif

[Salvatore]

The base coat clear coats seem to be more shiney than the original lacquer jobs it seems to me.

[al8apex]

do like the rat rod guys, paint clear over it as it is ...

[1969l78]

Leave it alone and drive it.

That line gets even thinner at public shows, going out for a burger and in the garage with the bicycles. I like the patina that just needs a little wet sand every few months <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif
Tired of freaking out over a scratch, I want to DRIVE these cars! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif

[Xplantdad]

Is this car at the high or low price point for a Nova SS...?

I drive my repainted 1969 Z/28 and my never painted survivor 1969 nova weekly. Don't care about little road nicks etc. Don't care if I owned a restored COPO, I would drive it. NO lawn ornaments in my garage..

That would be a one day sale at that price here in NY, not sure how it measures up in the rust free zones. My last three out of state purchases have taught me a lot. I will NEVER buy another snow belt salt soaked rust bucket!!
