Home away from home.
This car never knew what was gonna happen when
I bought it. In 1994 I left the small town of Canby Minnesota and moved
to the cities to go to college. I didn't want to take the red nova with
me because I was afraid it would just get wrecked up there in the big
city. My neighbor had just bought this 73 4-door nova to fix up and
then sell so I bought it from him. I figured it would be a little bit
of home to take with me! When I bought it at the time it had a straight
6 250 in it and a 3 on the tree transmission. Over the first few years
I put a minimum of 500 miles a week on this car. By the time 2002 came
around it was time to retire the poor girl. By this time thought it
had a 350 with close to 425 hp and was bright orange with no door handles
and a lot of stories behind her. Few cars would last through what I
put this car through!
I promise to try to find more pics but they are scatted all over...
