1979 Chevrolet Nova review from North America
"I like it more than my mother and wife combined"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Minor hoses in my vehicle have needed replacements due to dry-rot along with the regular tune-ups.
General comments?
This car has become an extention of myself. It's classic look gives it character, allowing my vehicle to become an exhibit for others to enjoy. I love the amazing 350 feeling, driving at outrageous speeds that make the police stand in awe. When in neighborhoods or driving at lower speeds I can hear my beast chugging at the gas tank. Recently, I was able to change the timing making it not only affordable for me to be a pizza delivery boy, but fun.
