Too bad this car went this route buy the owner? Nice color combo that you don't see often.I have seen MUCH NICE L78 Nova's in the for sale section here over the last couple years.

I could overlook the brake booster and painted intake/bypass hose. BUT the panel fit and gaps are SO far out, the guys on the international space station commented on them....

I don't think the NOVA market increased in value to the point this car you posted is worth anywhere near that dollar value. I think it's and ok buy in the 40K range? 50K and above is over priced in my book, even though other my have different thoughts.

Those L78’s are beautiful. The first one is fathom green same as my car.
Yes I agree $50,000 is the peak for a car like that. How much did the ones you posted sell for?

Someday I’ll own one.

There have been a number of nice big block Novas offered in recent years...I should know This car could be a lot nicer, but it would take some work and a lot of little fixes to make it correct. What always surprises me about these cars is the lack of knowledge shown by the people who did the work. There are so many great resources on how to do this correctly...can't understand why they don't do their homework

As for pricing, well documented and correctly restored cars will always command a premium, especially if the driveline is original. Of course, survivors are the rage, and they will bring top dollar too, if all the boxes are checked off.

X2, hard to believe so many simple things were done completely wrong! Might be appealing to their eye but takes away from anything positive. And my eyes did nothing but just look at the amount of overspray on the intake and lift hooks in the engine department. Car could be so much better presented. Gee if that car sells for 80K ours has to be north of 100K LOL

You guys are top notch. I love the fine detail being brought out. I also said WTF when I saw the bypass hose and the over spray on the intake. Now the engine hook. And yes the alignments of panels is just awful.
Can’t say I’m a fan of the color tho. Not something I would choose
