It's not in the BEST shape, but it's pretty solid... Anywho, the price was right.

And he's not sure if he wants to sell this one...
But if he prices it like the other stuff, I'm all over it! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Steve, you need to get the ' 57, pull the chrome straight axle out from under the Nova, and put it where it belongs!...under that Tri-5!!

...(or just turn me onto that ' 57, I only have 5, I NEED another one!)

Shit... If I told you the prices, you'd think I found one of YOUR hookups! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gifhttp://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

You always seem to find the sweet deals!

Plus, my 55's gonna get a straight axle, the 57 will probly just be a cruiser if I snag it.

I think the little Nova needs a tunnel rammed small block and a 'glide!

Naw, that Nova is staright axled and wide open...

BIG BLOCK, tunnel ram, four speed... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Oh trust me, I'd like to run a big block, but I own about 20 small block cores, and only 1 big block core!

Early Chevy II's make BITCHEN 60's styled drag cars...
Here's some inspiration...

Tunnel Ram... or a cross ram.

Hell, I grew up near Flint and that thing is in killer shape for a Michigan car but i agree on the 57 gasser idea!

Love these salvage yard shot's. Dream this scene: Put a mild, stump pulling 500 Cad in the 5-7. Add a straight axle! Now add a trailer hitch to pull that Nasty Nova bare-lee street legal to the Drag's that are far a-way.

For $100 or the cost of a pair of half decent shoes, you can't go wrong! I'd love to see this bad boy without a hood, tunnelram, and put a stick with the 3rd pedal and can you spell FUN!!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif..........good score Steve!!

Bummer! I've had 4 or 5 in my lifetime and a guy in our car club is putting together a straight axel Nova this winter.

I might even ad another $25 bucks or so just to tempt you......are sure you don't want to pass that one on to me?

But really it looks like a great find and I can't wait to see pictures of the progress.

Maybe a 2.8 V6 tunnel ram monster with a super sturdy 200r4 trans....nah, a 3.1 has more power. Great score Steve.

One of those little sedans is on my "list" ... oh yes, I WILL build one before I croak off...oh yes.
I'd be happy with a 406, 4 speed.

I've got my other Chevy II to go fast (well when it's not broken anyway! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif), So I think this one will be more "show" (read "Traditional 60's style"), but I'll still try to knock down some decent ET's with it.
