But, overall the car just doesn't have the sex appeal of the others...personally I like it that way :smile:

Agree, I like it that my 731 10-10 L78 M22 is not sexy!

I agree and I like it that way too. I think the one big area that I have always wished would have been designed differently was the quarter panel wheel radius. if it had been raised just another inch or so it would have given the Nova a completely different look in my opinion. I have a project 68 Nova that I plan on modifying the quarters on just for this reason (some day). Deeper wheel tubs from the factory would have been nice too... I wish I could have made it to MCACN. Maybe next year.

I like the idea! We had twins as I had two Black L78's as well but sold the automatic that another member here owns now!

BB Nova's have always been my favorite car. My first car in HS was an L34 4 speed Nova that I bought with paper route money! Mark
