There are a few real Yenko Deuce Novas with big blocks installed into them by their owners. We don't have a problem with that, like you said, it's their car and they can do what they want. This car is a true reference car though, and I'm obviously campaigning that it be left original.

YDR, you said you doubt if anyone would want to look at my car as a reference to restore a COPO Nova or Yenko deuce as compared to this car. Why? Cause it has 82K original miles and is not Hugger Orange? I believe I stated that this is a one family owned car and all original. So it has more miles?
The car is 100% all original and untouched with the factory paint! It has not been on the road in 6 years and is not by any means pristine but is all original. Where does your prejudice lie? Try to make your case again, please, cause it doesn't hold much water with me on this one.

OK I'm going to spill my guts here guys. I think I might be a little weird. Here's what I mean, I REALLY like original paint cars.I love to look at restored cars but I really don't want a redone old car. The Yellow car looks great but its been "done" if you know what I mean. My idea of the perfect car for me would be a low mileage original paint super car. And being realistic the chance of me being able to afford one is about 0. I might be able to buy it but I could not afford to keep it.I've had 5 nova's under 30000 miles in the last 5 years and I thought this car would make a cool copo cousin. (I think the word cousin describes what I want better than the word clone) I have a 30k 71 nova with air ps pb that has had a light repaint and the SS trim added but is original inside and under the hood and in the trunk I MIGHT put the big block in it. I just don't know if I can get past the paint not being original.see attachment Your starting to get to me Marlin.
