Default Re: Need advice/help on another Nova

Y'all are incredible! I'm amazed at some of the stuff y'all were able to pick apart on that red one. I knew that the hood wasn't original (kinda like it though) and that the side mirrors weren't correct, but I wouldn't have caught a lot of the stuff y'all mentioned. With most of the comments it's hard to tell whether y'all like the car overall and are just being picky or whether you're staying "stay away from this one."

With respect to some of the comments and suggestions, I do not want a 4-speed - autos only. As my name would suggest, I've been banging gears for the last 10+ years. I want something I can get in, slap it into drive, kickback and enjoy the cruise. Also, I'm not wanting a 396/375HP car mainly because of the possibility of more maintence/work on it. A nice reliable 350 sounds great to me, but I'm not totally out on the 396/350HP as it's my understanding that there's less maintence/work on that engine to keep it running correctly. While I love power as much as the next guy, believe it or not, that's not necessarily the main issue for me. I've had plenty of really fast cars and my theory right now is less maintence/work = more fun for me. I like that blue one on eBay, but that interior kills me. It almost has to have black interior - what can I say, I'm picky.

Please keep the comments & advice coming. I really appreciate it all.
