Re: Mecum Nova ?????
 

Thats a NICE car!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

Re: Mecum Nova ?????
 

Are those black side fins correct---I have only seen them painted to the car color or chrome? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif

Re: Mecum Nova ?????
 

That's a nice SHOP!!

Re: Mecum Nova ?????
 

Nice happy little P-B-T marks. Ugh.

The color is nice, though. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

Nobody recognizes the guy sitting the chair? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif I could almost figure out the owner via the happy marks on the car. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/scholar.gif

Re: Mecum Nova ?????
 

The guy in the chair looks familiar? I think I have seen him at Barrett-Jackson? Are his initials GH? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif

I agree...really neat garage! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif

Re: Mecum Nova ?????
 

There has been discussion about the louvers on Stevesnovasite. If I remember correctly there are two different part nbrs for them. One for painted, one chrome. I've had nos painted ones that came with a factory primer. Rarely do you see them in chrome, but with the correct trim package, I think they are correct. I don't know that they are correct for this car. I'd bet they should be painted.
Yes, that would be GH. Yes his place is very nice. This might be a new building. And that could be a box of ho hos he's looking into. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: Mecum Nova ?????
 

Thanks for that info Schonyenko2. Anyone have any other info on car. Anyone have contact info on who owns or retored it.

Was the comfort grip wheel an option on a SS Nova at any time in 1970?

Re: Mecum Nova ?????
 

I know of a couple of Deuces sporting ComfortGrips.

Re: Mecum Nova ?????
 

Not knowing if they are original or not,our 70 has chrome gills on it.I think that it looks ok the way it is. I think it would be to close of a match to have them silver https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif.Just my opinion.

No. The fancy wheel (w/ finger grooves) option was not available on the Novas to my knowledge - and the Comfort Grip wheel (no finger grooves) was actually only available on the Buick GSX. Some Deuces got them via a Yenko installation option.

Re: Mecum Nova ?????
 

Is this the same Nova that sold at Barrett-Jackson for $50,000 in January? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

The rim of the GSX/Yenko wheel is also much thicker too.

Yes. A friend of mine saw the car. I have not. He thought it looked pretty nice. FWIW. The gentleman in the picture is Gary Holub I believe.

Re: Mecum Nova ?????
 

I have to get in touch with JH to have him send more pics and a write up, too! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: Mecum Nova ?????
 

Yes that is Gary Holub. I never forget a face when I had to meet him in 1998 at the First Reunion. And I will leave it at that... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif
The "MOF"

Re: Mecum Nova ?????
 

Maybe a Chuck Huber resto on that nova?

Re: Mecum Nova ?????
 

Since I have never personally met GH...I only know what people have said. That he is a nice guy that went through some rough times...and has(and has had) some pretty awesome cars... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Mecum Nova ?????
 

Gary likes his cars 'his way', hence the oft used term 'Holubized'! I first heard the term via a judge at VF many years ago https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/scholar.gif

Re: Mecum Nova ?????
 

I think the car went or around $45,000 sounds like it was a good deal, anyone from site buy it? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif
