'66 Straight Axle Nova

[Hawkeye]

Thanks for posting the original eBay Nova. This car reminds me of my first car at age 16. I bought a 1966 Nova in the same color combination in the same town the this car is for sale. It was always parked in the Moose Lodge parking lot most days. A friend who was old enough to enter went in for me and offered the owner $400. It took some negotiating and perhaps a few more adult beverages, but it then became my first car. It was an original 283 4 barrell car. Unfortunately it was a rust bucket and I couldn’t do body work. I learned how to turn wrenches on that thing. I am not sure what the odds are that the same color combination in the same town all these years later is, but it sure does make me want to pursue this one. Thanks for letting me relive some old memories.

Thanks for posting,

Marty
