What would YOU do with this car? - Page 2

But if you want to 'have some fun' with a non-high dollar car, why use a 5k mile, original, unrestored, orig. paint, car??? Put an L89 BB into one of the other 200k Novas that were built in '70! If you walked up to this car at a show, would you look at the L89, the 6cyl. VIN, or the orig. paint? [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/confused.gif[/img]

I say keep it as is. And yes me too I would offer you the cash if I had it.

With the car market as it is, Could anyone estimate what this car would be worth?

Mark, that is a very pretty car. What would you ask for it? I think the six is kind of neat. I wouldn't change a thing.

A lot of people have raised very valid points and I have thought about everything that has been said thus far. Thats why the car is still sitting untouched. I was sure that the L89 was about to go in the car but the more it's around the harder it gets to do it. There is a guy in Talahassee Fla. that has shown some interested in putting it in his museum. He would probably pay more than it's worth. The guy is kind of hard to deal with and access to the car for reference purposes would be kind of limited. I'm also not to the point of selling the car. Oh the agony of it all!

Build it, drive it! That is what I am doing with my 70 Nova 6 cyl all original car that couldn't get a reply on this site other than to move it to another site!

69ssrs; Are you still whining?? Let's get over it, and move on.

These are two completely different cars, and situations. I doubt anyone would be using your neighbor's car as reference material to restore a Yenko/COPO car. Nothing against your car, so, if you choose to make a hot rod out of it, that's fine. The hobby needs cars like this orange one, which is why I'd leave it alone, and make it accessible to other enthusiasts.

I agree with Marlin. The restoration guys need good benchmark cars. In my opinion it is better to preserve the car or sell it to someone who will preserve it.

I am in agreement also now Marlin. It sure helped me! Any other low-mileage novas besides this one known? I know about the 6k green deuce.
