"Novas are good cars. But please stay on top of your maintenance"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Carberators had to be replaced.

Car occasionally stalls when at a stop light.

Alternator screw came loose.

Odometer has been rolled back a full 100,000 miles by making the first digit in the odometer a zero.

Thermostat had to be replaced due to lack of maintenance.

Oil Gasket had to be replaced.

A/C Belt had to be replaced.

General comments?

When my father bought this car, the windshield wiper assembly needed replacing.

The car at first seemed quicker that my original Nova.

You do know that this "nova" was made by toyota and is an 80s Toyota Corrolla with the bowtie and "nova" on it. FWD and a 4 banger, it disgraces the name Nova:- (

Yes, anyone who has owned one of these diamonds in the rough are well aware of its "red headed step child" relation to the Novas of the 60-70's. Funny though. You don't see them much around... these will be on the road for years to come.

87 Nova 4 dr (now roaming the roads in Panama)

My 1987 Chevrolet Nova stalls sometimes too, but I've noticed that it does that when I've been driving around a lot that day, usually my passanger has to spray carb cleaner to get it started up again, what do you think could be casuing that?

What are you talking about, the Nova was just an ordinary compact car for the 60s and 70s, and it was still so for the 80s.

I haven't seen that many front drive Novas around. Mine is the only one in town, the rest rusted into the ground like 5 years ago.
