I know it's probably blasphemy for me to say it, but if you've got the money to spend on a play-toy like that, forget about the unknown future resale and get the one that you simply like.

I feel fortunate enough to have a '70 Nova and '69 Corvette. I love the looks of them sitting still in the garage or driveway, and always enjoy cruising them around.

Unfortunately, there is money wrapped up in both of them, but I try not to let it get in the way of simply enjoying them for what they are - fun cars to look at and drive!

Get the best one that you can afford that you'll enjoy the most. If your interests change in a few years, deal with it then. The whole market might be different then too.

In my opinion the L78 nova sounds nice. Most have replacement engines anyways. For paper work there are a few good men on this site for that deal. Just fly Marlin where the car is to verify it. Paper work has only become important since the non car guys got into the hobby. Sooner or later most cars identify themselves. A real L78 nova with credentials from people like Marlin, MacNeish, Wayne Bushy or Schonye along with your gut feeling would be good for me. I don't think you can go wrong.

The 73 Z28 gets my vote.

I can tell you that the last Nova with Jerry's inspection paperwork meant very little to the Nova people. Chuck, what a buddy you had the pace car listed for less money in the cars for sale section. What do you think of the L-34 Nova that is just as nice for almost half the price?
