Default Nova wasting away

Well I have been talking with the original owner of a triple black SS L78 Nova for 11 years. It was outside then and still outside, although I have pleaded with him to push it into his barn. He ordered it from Village Chevrolet in Queens and has put just over 21K miles on the car. It was ordered with L78, M21, 410, defogger, buckets f&r guards, and vinyl top. Triple black one of my favories. Another year passes and it still sits outside. Still will not sell it....what a shame!

Default Re: Nova wasting away

take a new tarp over there and ask if he would mind if you covered it up for the winter...he may appreciate that you think enough of the car to at least protect it from the weather. he obviously still likes the car and may just need to know you plan to love it as much as he does..now leaving it in a field is weird if you really like something..but that is what that generation did when they parked a car. Just a idea.

Tell him the price will include mowing down the weeds also..
That is a shame, could be a cool car.
Maybe money does not motivate him, trade him a car/truck.
