Re: 1962 Chevy Nova Rescue
While mulling around inside the garage, I notice large gaping holes on the right side. Luckily the holes were not over the car!
 This guy was glad to see this car go!  Appears the car had one repaint in the original color. Seems one side of the car was damaged when backing into this very garage.       Continued.....

Re: 1962 Chevy Nova Rescue
 Folder includes papers that were inside the house. The original West Virginia title from 1962 was in it!  Trim sure is shiny!    He was glad to have an empty garage!   There is damage to the trim on the RF fender, might have been from entering or exiting the garage.    A Buzzin' Half-Dozen! Continued.....

Re: 1962 Chevy Nova Rescue
Now loaded up, we headed back to Maryland on I-70. West Virginia and Western Maryland have very nice scenery.
Anyway, back at the shop, we got the urge to fire it up, if it would!  Don't know if you can see the smoke from the tail pipe or not, but after dropping a battery in it, pouring some gas in it, and about a dozen cranks, it fired up without fanfare!   We let it run for about an hour, it never missed a beat, rockers became more and more quiet.  Still smoking!     Continued......

Re: 1962 Chevy Nova Rescue
After receiving some brake work, fluid changes, fuel pump, carb rebuild, and a somewhat quickie detailing, we took it to a show across the street from the shop one Saturday.
  The pizza is here, gotta go eat. Hope you enjoy these.

Re: 1962 Chevy Nova Rescue
Outstanding story! As I've always said, the best deals are the ones that come to <u>you</u> .
I hope the plan is to keep it original.  Verne

Re: 1962 Chevy Nova Rescue
Pizza was great.
 As the rest of the story goes, the present owner hasn't paid for the repair yet (over a year), and the car is stored in one of the shop owner's garages. Every once in a while he gets it out to drive it here or there. I've even taken it on a few spins and one show. Those bias-ply tires need to be replaced before taking this car on a long trip. For now, it stays local. The women says she going to come and get it, just hasn't yet. I don't believe the bill is very high. I think she wants my buddy to buy it, but he has other cars that need his attention. I wouldn't mind buying it, but she is very undecided on price. However, she does know what she has and won't give it away, not that anyone is expecting her to give it away. We'll see if she picked it up this week.
