69ssrs;
Dude, take a chill.

It's very difficult to compare these two Novas, I've only seen one of them in person and only one picture of the other. Let's face it, with 85k miles on any car things have been changed - hoses, belts, carb, radiators, brakes, brake drums, etc... things have been worn out. After putting 80k+ miles of dirt, grunge and grime on a car it is hard to see the details that we are looking for. Things like overspray patterns, paint daubs, crayon markings, little tags and stickers, that kind of stuff. I'm not trashin your Nova, if it has some reference capability, take some pictures before you make your mods and share them with the class.

It is hard to argue with a 5,000 mile Nova. I would love to spend an hour with the car. Put a nice set of vintage mags on the car and it will look super neat. I have a very low mile, undesireable option 65' Corvette. I have always said that even the original owner did not want to drive this car.

lowmile;
I like orig. paint cars just as much as the next guy, but what really completes the package is when the whole thing is original, low miles, with all the details still intact.

I agree with you, your logic is a little off-beat - you don't mind a completely wrong, totally non-original, impossible to get option of alum. head big block with a six cyl. vin'd car, but gotta have orig. paint [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/blush.gif[/img] But, we are all different, and that's what makes the world go around.

If it was me, I put the non-orig BB into the non-orig paint, non-orig color, non-orig SS, non-orig interior, but flashy lookin yellow car [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

If you think about it, if you were to sell all of your low mile Novas you would probably have enough money to buy a Supercar - maybe not a lowmile orig. paint one, but a Supercar nonetheless.

Check out the friendly vote stat's, this candidate is in the lead!!!

Don't worry about the chains, I won't scratch the paint!

Nice picture spread on the cover of the Nova Times this month.
