got a new car. 65 chevy II
so for the last year or so we've wanted to get rid of our imports and get old muscle so we don't have to worry about cops and smog. my crx is registered in nv and when i get pulled over it's a pain in the *** explaining why i have a CDL and NV reg.
so we started by selling my wifes 4dr civic and she got a 64 ford fairlane. i was gonna wait till i got my v8 rx7 running then sell my rx7 and crx to buy a chevy II or chevelle. well yesterday on craigslist i see an ad for a 65 nova for $800. says it runs good, but a little rich. so i go over and look at it (without the owner) and there is some minor swiss cheese going on in the fender, bottom of the doors and rear 1/4. no rust in the floor pan and nothing in the trunk. well after looking at it i decided that it wasn't the right car for me. so i go home and start thinking about it and went back over with the wife after she got off work and the nova was in the guys driveway with the hood popped. it wouldn't start... we told the guy i'm gonna drop a 350 in it anyway so it not running is not that big of a deal, but we had to think about it. we'll call him later that night. after 2 hours of thinking and the wife telling me to just get the damn car we called him up and headed back over. handed the man $700 and he handed me the keys to my new 65 nova. we called up AAA for the free tow. now i gotta figure out why it won't start or what i need to do to drop my 350 in it.
here are the pics, i'm gonna take a few more later today. i was barefoot and the street was crazy hot so i didn't want to stand out there much longer. i'm a -----.
sexy front
sexy ***
straight six
impala tail lights, missing lights are in my garage.
almost mint dash
factory am radio and factory a/c. all the ac needs is the compressor to work
big trunk, not as big as the fairlane though
