Alan, I am so glad to hear that you went back and got the Nova to be put back together with the original motor and trans. Just think what could of happened to that car if somebody else had bought the motor and trans only. This went from a potential parts car to being restored by one of the best. Neat to hear.

Mark, you deserve some recognition for initially posting the ebay ad on this site. Alan deserves the credit for buying the parts and then persuing the Nova to make it whole again.
Teamwork within the sYc membership is what makes this site the best. Good job guys

I have the fun of finding these ads but Alen deserves the credit for having the nerve to follow up and making the purchase. It's like the orange Nova he is putting together right now. The car was listed on this website twice with very little action that I saw. A true diamond in the rough just waiting for the right person to take it to the next level. Alen was the guy that stepped up and he has the contacts to have all his cars put together to perfection. My only question is whats next.

jude, you are quite right about the help from mark on the e-bay advertisement i don't think i would have seen the ad without his heads up posting on the site.

thx mark for starting the ball rolling in the right direction
