In 1985 I was a junior in H.S. and was in the process of taking a tired, but all original, 1974 Nova Custom, 2 door, 350 auto car into the street hot rod car you see in attachment a year later. Bought the car on Christmas Eve of 85 for $1,200. Was originally pea green color with tan vinyl top.
One of the neat things I found after I bought it was the rally rims you see in picture under the full cover factory hubcaps.
After graduation from H.S. that Summer we were scheduled to move to Atlanta. Before moving,Dad said the metro area where we would be living had emissions checks on cars up to 15 years old and my car would not pass and I had to sell it. So reluctantly, I sold it and soon once in Atlanta we found out the emmissions checks were only for cars 10 years old. I still give my Dad crap occasionally about him screwing that detail up.
