Good grief, that Nova gets better looking everytime I see it.

What does it sound like with those glasspacks?

I'm with Rick that you have to draw a line on when the old parts become too &quot;modern&quot; or were not available around the time the car was new. <span style="font-weight: bold">I personally feel the line should be drawn a the 2 year mark.</span> So that is my criteria, but if you used it around here- you would still be confused as it clearly has a different meaning to others.

Well, in that case I guess I can't run my Mickey Thompsons on my '62 anymore because they were made in '65. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

If you don't like &quot;Day-2&quot;, then just call them &quot;Warranty Delete&quot; cars! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

No way Verne. That is Day-2. 62 Chevy in 65, you were just by then replacing the aftermarket tires you put on that car around 1963 when you wore out the originals. I have early 80's Cragars direct bolt 15X4's that I am using. That to me is Day-2 for my 69 Z/28. Most people did not have the money to do everything to their cars as soon as they bought them. Many things were a 5-10 year work in progress. I know there is a thin line so we all still have to use our heads. I think the original poster was just trying to establish that if he went to a speed shop or called Jegs or Summit today would that be considered Day-2 for his early chevelle. It would be Day-2 if he put it on a 2008 malibu but not a 70's car. JMO and that is subject like everything else.

Sam (mockingbird812), I swear to god that I have to see that Deuce before I die!!! Hell, I'd even take a flight out there to see it if you'd let me.

And Sammy has gotten the Mister Day 2 title. All these cars look great no matter what.

You are right Jed-I. They are all great cars!

Re: What is a Day 2 car???
 
I appreciate them all Sammy! That's what this hobby is about! The people and their cars. Although I gravitate towards the Novas and Camaros. But I like some Fords, Mopars, and other GM products too!

Well, I guess I own 2 Day-3 cars then because my other '62 has these ETs on it which also came out in '65.

22 years after that photo was taken, after I bought the car and washed it.
