Routine maintenance only at expected mileages & ages. Harmonic balancer came apart at 145,00 miles.
Carb seemed to need rebuilt every 20K miles. or so with replacements about every other time.
Replaced original 250 engine & TH 200 trans. at 150K miles. because of engine leaks & trans was getting sloppy. Still ran good.
Seat was junk after 90K miles.
Daily driver for much of the last 24 yrs.
Most reliable car I have ever owned.
Can easily be made into an extremely beautiful vehicle that turns heads routinely.
Fast enough for a 6 & good mileage for a big metal car.
Still easy & cheap to find parts.
Ditto, my good friend.
I bought "Linda" - 1976 Nova - about eleven years ago. Not only is it still running, but also, I'm the first one off the line when we go racing. Guess what powers it? An inline 6, 250 with dual Webers built by Clifford Performance.
I'm going to turn it convertible this fall. Should be pretty awesome.
God bless.
