Default 69 Nova after all of these years

I owned a 69 Nova when I was 19/20 years old (I am now 61), I always told myself if I found one that was in fairly good shape at a good price I would buy it. Well I found one on Craigslist. The body and interior are in excellent shape for a car of this age, I am now in the process of rebuilding a 350 for it as the engine in it now does not run and is a 305. Then paint,new tires, etc,etc. Just thought I would share.

I love the 69 Nova! I like the hood pins already.
Any chance of an old pic of your original?

Well done! Have fun with the project. Novas are great cars to Day-2, restore etc.
