1969 Nova 307 - Original Owner

This is Joan. She's 87. She bought this car new in 1969. We've known their family since the late 1980s. Her husband is gone, but every year we go over to her house and get the Nova running for a spin around town. This car is just shy of 15,000 miles.

Love to see that! I hope the car keeps her a young 87

Power steering?
AC?

That's awesome!! You're a good dude for doing that. Cars definitely keep them young... The stories that Bob, 2nd owner of my pace car had and his anticipation of going for a ride once I'm done restoring it, is motivating! He gave me this pic of the car from 1970(I also have transfer of title with reg. #)

Looks like full tint windows, so possibly air conditioning.

What a neat story, thanks for sharing.

A 69 Nova with factory air sold in Minnesota would be a rarity.
