Since We're Gearheads here, Know anyone with a 1968-72 Nova?

I've got a 1968-72 Drivers Door (w/glass) ($50) & 1968-72 Trunk lid ($50) for sale.
Shipping will be expensive especially the door.
I know this'll get locked, but, this may reach someone needing perfect, dent free, rust free parts.

Send a message via AIM to SAEspinz80
my cousin got back from the air force about a year ago. and while he was in service over in germany and etc....he would flip through catalogs and websites and order performance parts for his 71 nova that he was planning on building when he got out. well, a while ago he bought a v6 from and old woman (original owner) and garages while he was away. the body was beautiful. when he came back, he gutted the engine and started putting in his V8 stuff he had been buying. now its identical to a V8 car supension, transmission and all.

well i saw the car over christmas and he dropped in a measly 457 (i think, somwhere around there) and modded it up the best he could. when you look at the air filter over the carb theres is a sticker that says 450hp. i was like, oh dear ***!!! he said, "its really got over 475hp, but that was the biggest sticker i could find". i was laughing. its only got 10 miles on it now, and he said he is yet to GET ON IT cause its sooo young, but he was saying there isn't gonna be a problem getting the front end to leave the ground. its scary!!! but no need for the door...sorry KED, but thought you would appreciate the story.

I appreciate ANYONE with great stories & good old musclecars.
I can't wait to do the power disc brake & coil swap to my Wife's 1968 Camaro. I found my new coils, she gets my old coils.
It's a temp fix for a several years, until I kill the six then throw in the V-8!
I know what that guy means with a Big Block in the Nova.
Yenko made several
So did Dickie Harrel
They were LETHAL, so the dealers stopped making them. Something about Liability insurance & lawsuits from parents of the Nova's owners.
73 Nova, what they want?

Anything; mainly body pieces. GM changed the nova in '73, then changed it again in '74- so '73 was a one year style.

73 and 74 were very similar in body styles , now that I think about it they were the same . 1975 was when they went to the box style.

similar, yes... same, no. Look for quarter panels- they're sold for 68-72, and 74-up... no '73.
