Ok, just checkin - at least you didn't mention a thong or something [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

My perspective comes from stories like this one; the lowest mile Yenko Deuce (6k miles) is generally not considered to be the #1 car out of the 80 cars found, hard to believe. This car is all original paint, stripes are in good shape, almost perfect interior, etc... but.... it was raced a little at Keystone Raceway and a lot of the originality of the car was discarded to make way for the race 'improvements'. Now, it's still an excellent car, but it's the kind that just makes you scratch your head a little and say 'this car could have been one of the best survivor cars ever'.

At least this '66 Nova is for sale! (The Yenko Deuce is not, many have tried!).

Actually Marlin, that may not be true... In between playing rock em sock em robots with you on the keyboard, I just got a call from New York and it seems the Nova may no longer be for sale. We will see what happens here. I have already had more interest in this car in one day then I have had with most overall. One of the ways this board stays fun is when you and I start slamming our Tonka trucks into each other! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Yea, I enjoy hammerin out the various points of view, you should see us at car shows [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img]

Anyway, it's all good, I have seen the record holding '66 L79 Nova from upstate New York go from a race car to a beautifully restored red/red post car - and it was done by the original owner who made it into a race car in the first place! So, here's hoping the same for this car!

Oh, I don't have any Tonkas or Robots, maybe I should check EBAY for them too!

Marlin,
I never had them, we were to poor, I just tied the neighbor kid up and pretended! By the way, first day on the Nova site and they chased me away, I know we get a little rough over here from time to time, but they sure know how to welcome a new member aboard over there, they flat out accused me and you know who Marlin of being criminals. Their loss, I would rather hang out with you guys anyway, I get too far away from Bel Air and I start to get lonesome...and no Charlie, I am not talking about your dog.

Matt, I'll have to find out where you were posting over there, I only go to the 3rd gen section. Nova guys are usually pretty easy going [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Motown,
No welding necessary as the complete front end will unbolt from the body shell/firewall.
