  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    These four door Nova's were popular patrol cars for the Sheriff's Department back in Greenville, SC when I lived there. They used them for many years, long after Chevrolet stopped making them. I asked a deputy about them one evening and he said they were the perfect size for what they did and had good performance and since nobody was making a comparable new car, they would just put rebuilt motors & tranny's in the ones they had instead of buying new cars.

    Frankly would look for a 71 - 76 Chev B car specialist. Most of those cars went to heaven in the scrap run up of the mid 00'S. This Nova is very rare in the fact that the front is not damaged. Most cars that wind up in the u pull it yards ran into something and the front end is smashed in. The front bumper, front fender extensions were gone when discovered it. 75 - 79 front extensions and headlight bezels are just about impossible to find used at this point. And those are the parts that everyone wants for these cars.

    Smokey15 So old that I use AARP bolts.

    Solid RWD Novas of any year are hard to find around here.
    I think a friend of mine is still looking for doors for a '65 Impala 2dr. hdtp. Last I talked to him, no luck.
