I have rattled a couple a gears here and there but haven't opened the butterflies 90 degrees yet. Beyond that, I can easily say it boogies along and is great out of the hole, but with these Wide Oval Radials on the car, there isn't a lot of meat to stick to the pavement. Surprisingly they have stuck really good for a rolling start and I'm sure I've had them on the ragged edge of breaking free even at half throttle stabs.

I changed the alternator around and need to pickup a new fan belt this week. Then it'll get out to have some more miles put on it. I'm sure the burnout video's are forth coming.

that driving video definitely helps sell the car if you were to part with it!

Very Kool Nova, looks like a lot of fun.

I should add by that speed sign, that up here in Canada it's only 60 Kilometers an hour along that road and all my neighbors have horses so I wasn't going to pound it out down the hill through 4 gears or they'd all be pissed off at me. Here's a clip of the car idling after exhaust was completed. M/T style headers with Turbo mufflers.

Thanks for the advice, the comments and the interest expressed in the car. Opinions of value align with what I've been thinking. I now have a decision to make.

Wow, gorgeous. Start at $52 and see what happens!

I added up some additional receipts that I hadn't counted into the mix and it's a bit higher than I had said, but have already told a couple people who inquired about the car that it would take 52K for me to separate with it. If that happens I'm cool with it, but I'm really thinking I should keep this one as I know I cannot replace it.

Still debating on that one...but leaning towards the latter.

Again, thanks for the vote of confidence with regards to it's value. I was curious what others thought it might be worth and I am glad to hear I wasn't the only one who thought the car had some value in it. Cheers
