Hugger Orange 70 Nova, 307, floor mounted 3 speed. $2400 + tax + fees, out the door from Egizio Chev-Olds, Naperville IL, in June 1970. Sold it 5 months later (wasn't fast enough) to a friend who promptly rolled it. It was within a few $$$ of being totalled, but it got fixed and painted blue. He drove it for many years and had way over 100K on the clock when he got rid of it. If I had bought the Citrus green 70 1/2 Z28 RS that I really wanted, I might still have it Payments on the Z were gonna be $140/mo. and I was sure I couldn't afford it. Payments on the Nova were $77/mo.....and I made double payments on it every month
