Let’s see your first car.

[Bill Pritchard]

70 Nova, bought new in June 1970. Hugger Orange, black standard interior with rubber floor covering (no carpet), 307, factory floor mounted 3 speed. Picture is at my parents house....you can see window sticker still in the rear quarter window. Within 3 weeks, OEM exhaust was gone replaced by a Midas dual system with glasspacks, and the rally wheels were replaced by some Keystone mags that looked similar to Torq-Thrusts but with dark spokes. Sold it 5 months later because it wasn't fast enough The guy I sold it to, his girlfriend rolled it a couple months later and it was fixed but repainted blue. They eventually got married and put over 100K miles on it.

What I REALLY wanted was the Citrus Green 70 Z28/RS on the showroom floor, but the $140/month payments scared me so I bought the Nova with $77/month payments....and proceeded to make double payments every month
