1970 Hugger Orange Nova for sale 5800 orig. miles

[lowmile]

1970 Nova Hugger Orange 6cyl, 3sp, original; paint,int,trunk,tires,shocks, on and on, lots of paper work. Has to be one of the nicest unrestored Novas in the county. In a very rare color. I can't bring myself to clone it. 17,500.00 I know thats too much for a 6 cyl Nova but it's just a special old car. It almost killed me to type this add. Please, don't buy this car. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif Mark 229-498-1975

Is that the one Wayne Bushey used to own?

[Allen]

Yes, same car. Very cool Nova and neat color. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

I had a chance to see it when Wayne still owned it and shortly after they brought it up from Texas.

It gave me mixed emotions too...... such a great candidate with the original body and interior to put a nice and fun drivetrain in (can you say big block?).

But also, it is a very unique piece of Nova history with its 5,800 original miles and condition, and it would be a shame to mess with it too.

Such a debate, right Mark? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

[lowmile]

What to do with this car is about to drive me nuts. I mean for goodness sake its just a 6cyl nova. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif Mark

[TimG]

It needs an L72 real bad.

[Allen]

Well, since you have another great car all ready and waiting for a fine big block, I guess you won't have to do anything with it.

I have been looking to make a CLONE ZL-1 Nova. That would look awesome next to the Hugger Orange Yenko Camaro.Just a thought..."MOF" /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

[lowmile]

It has a set of wider steel wheels and radials that go with it. The int. is black standard with a rubber mat and very near pefect. The car was sold new by Mustang Chevrolet in San Angelo,Texas http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-4/117646/XFUEPLOVVOINZOCAHCCK-ducks%205(1).jpg

[TimG]

Sorry, I had a moment of weakness.

[Mr70]

No problem TimG.
We all know you meant to say L78....
Nice car!

[Allen]

L34's aren't so bad either! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

[mnyenko]

LT1 and a hood tach....very cool.Earl

All NNN members can check their August 2002 issue. This Nova is the cover car, and has an interesting article inside.

[NovaStud]

yep i remember seeing it in my dads issue NICE CAR!

[Jeff H]

Boy, that's a tough call. Like you said, it's just a 6 cyl Nova. But with that low of mileage and a unique color, it's hard to touch it. But on the other hand, it's a perfect candidate for a swap. D@mmed if you do, d@mmed if you don't! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

It's not 'just a 6cyl Nova', it is probably the best reference Nova out there. It is best to leave it alone, there are plenty of other cars to hot-rod.

If I had the money & the space to store it properly, I would have bought it when Wayne was selling it several years ago.

[JoeG]

Nice example of how things were car---how come a bread and butter car like this only has 5800 miles?------if you can--- this car should go in the history part of your garage.------------JoeG

[lowmile]

The original owner Charlie McDonald 72 was when he bought it. He drove it to town once a week for about 3 years until his health started to fail . He died in 1976 and his wife did not have a drivers permit so it sat in a block garage until his wife Texas Pearl past away in 1993. Joe I wish I had a history part of my garage but the problem is I don't have enough "history" in my bank account. Mark

Unmolested 1970 Nova--5800miles--last owned by a woman by the name of Texas Pearl[great name]-----maybe you'll get lucky and find someone who appreciates the car for what is --Plain-&-Simple--with about 3000lbs of character.-------------JoeG----Texas Pearl--Luv that name /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif

I think you missed my sarcasm in that comment Marlin. That's a sweet looking Nova and it would be very difficult to alter it. Good thing I don't have any money, my Hugger Orange JL8 and a Hugger Orange Nova would be a cool combination. I would only need a Hugger Orange COPO to go with it.

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

I got the sarcasm! I know many guys would love to stuff a 502 in that car, but it's too good of a reference car!

The Mayor of Buzzkill with the L72 idea - you crazy /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

Super neat Nova. My '67 Z28 street car came out of the same dealership. I love the dealership emblem with the horse rearing up on its back legs and the word Mustang. Nice bit of irony on a Camaro. I'm with Marlin. Hopefully the car will find its way to an owner who will leave it as it is.

P.S. Somebody in San Angelo has a '69 Chevelle SS396 in the post body style. Saw it at a gas station when I went to look at my Z.

NO, We have a Brand NEW ZL-1 Block cring for a home, thought it would look awesome with a coul plenium,bench seat M-22 with 4:56 gears. Next to the Hugger Orange YENKO.
Just a thought.. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif "MOF"

[lowmile]

The new owner would not only get a great car, you would also receive(at no extra charge) your very own Marlin hood orniment held firmly in place with logging chains. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

That could very well be!!

[AutoInsane]

Seems like everyone thinks this car should be stored away in someone elses garage!

Dont get me wrong... I am a purist when it comes to keeping cars original. I would wish someone would buy this car for a museum and stick it away. But this car has no significance other than being a beautiful low mile original car and apparently that isnt enought to entice anyone to buy it for that purpose.

If it is worth saving then someone should buy it. I think the next guy who says what an amazing piece of history the car is should be the one who buys it an preserves it!!!!!

N.I.M.G - Not In My Garage

I agree. Bushey has everything off of this car documented anyway. Drop in a V-8 /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

You can never learn enough from a car like this one, it should always be a reference car - and left alone. I'll unchain myself from the front bumper now /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[lowmile]

I guess it's going to stay with me. Thanks for the feedback on the car. It must not be time for it to go. Mark

S.I.M.G. (Still in my garage)

Cool /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
