This car has been in my life for a long long time. 14 years to be exact. She was my 1st car and with the help of a few awesome and very knowlegable friends, we built her from the ground up.
I already know Im going to regret this for the rest of my life but I think Im ready to take the plunge and let her go...
I've moved to a place where the dirt is all around me and the racing is far away... The Nova just sits in the garage and other than the occasional Starbucks run 1 mile away even couple weeks, she just sits in the garage... So literally for the last 2 years it been driven 2-4 miles a month max (really, with the occasional cruise around town or to the track, not much different before then either)
I entered her in 1 car show and came home with a 2nd place trophy out of 400 cars, Im sure if I would have been more active with the shows, she would have won many many more

All this car needs is a little shot of Nitrous and you'll be running 10s reliably all day long
(after all it is a nitrous motor that hasn't seen nitrous yet. Been meaning to get a little unit for it but just never got around to it)
Interior:
Painless Wiring Kit (this wiring kit includes AC, Power windows, Electric Seats, Electric Rear View Mirror and many other extras)
-I ripped out ALL the old original wires and replaced it all with this kit. Came out amazing...
-All non used wires are rolled up neatly and zip tied under the dash for future use if needed

on/off cuttoff switch (located over the rear bumper - passenger side) (NHRA Approved)
OEM Carpet, floormats, headliner, dash pad, door panels, rear panels, side mirror (1 still in box) - All from Classic Industries
Last thing:
One of the things I love about this car is its solidness. Doors shut super smooth (smoother than my new FJ), the ride is awesome, no rattles even on speed bumps. Best way to describe it is that it feels like it was just built.
The Bad:
-New trans is acting up but not enough to stop me from going to the coffee shop. Regardless, I have a brand new race trans (same specs as the one in my car right now) at the shop that will be swapped before the car is purchased/traded.
-Once the reality of someone purchasing this thing sets in, you might have to deal with a grown man crying and freaking out during the purchase...
