Probably more than I'd be willing to do for that particular car, but I'm glad somebody's willing to do it! You're doing a great job with the channel Bill! Kurt
I watch VGG, PBG, NNKH, JYD, and a few others here on YT. This channel popped up on my feed; looks like 10K subscribers. I look forward to the Nova rebuild: engine; drive train; all the way to paint. It doesn't have to be perfect; it just has to be fun and functional. New subscriber excited for the adventure.
I must admit, you take the “can we get it running after forty years” to the extreme 😅 You’re the first one I’ve seen who had to first install a drivetrain before you could get it running again 👍🏻 That’s as cool as it gets!
Man I used to have one of those in 1983! Mine was a 1973 with 4 doors with the 350 V8 too, with a shift kit and Holley 4 barrel! And header’s. That thing was a sleeper! I was 20 years old! Boy the memories comes rushing back!👌😎👍
If you like something then go for it. It doesn't matter what others like. Be true to you!!!! I'm a GM car guy since I was little and that anything else was not for me. I recently purchased a 95 mustang to do a project. Every car appeals to someone. Have fun and learn!
Long time no see my friend. That's going to be a great series right here. A chore indeed just digging it out alone. Keep up the good work! Blessings and respect!
when I was 16 my grandpa got a 73 nova from his sister, we drove it home to ohio from Tennessee , omg the wonderful memories this video brings to me. I am 60 now.
Idler arm, ball joints, brake cylinders lines back and front, drums cut, disc's too or new...and that's not even the drive train! But... when it's done, then he can do anything he wants, and you know it will be beautiful.
@Flatbroke Garage binge watching a few of your videos at the moment. I think 🤔 I’ve found a hidden gem as u certainly have the foundations to become a huge UA-camr. I may be wrong but it seems that content creators channels start to suddenly takeoff once they get between 10k - 30k subscribers & the UA-cam algorithm kicks off n I pray this happens for u. So keep at it & greetings from across the pond in a snowy & windy England England 🏴
Hi! I'm originally from a Lake and Cook County I worked in Rockford many times. Our company held outings at Byron dragstrip every year. Thanks for watching!
New guy here. Our host looks and sounds like Buddy Hackett and Danny Aiello had a baby but that just adds to the entertainment. Love this channel so far.
I’m actually shocked to see a Nova with such a straight body sitting in a junkyard! I imagine not many people visit there for this little gem to still be there. I wish I knew where these muscle car graveyards were. I would have a ball. I would be scouting for Chevy Novas, Ford Mavericks, and Plymouth Dusters. 👍🏻
This going to be interesting and entertaining. I liked the STANG beside it. I think a stop by the car wash and $50 to rinse off the years of nature plus several cases of rust penetrant.
Wow your friend is ambitious…it’s always nice to see something saved but is that really the right one to save? Looking forward to seeing how this one progresses.
My wife had a car just like this but a '74 model. She was my girlfriend back then. A barebones Nova hatchback in the same color. What it did have was that 350 engine though. That car never lost a drag race to anyone. Just the way they bought it. That was the summer of '81. 350 with the base carb and automatic transmission. It beat my friend's Z28 with the modified engine and a 4 speed by 2 car lengths in the quarter mile. It beat a 455 Trans Am. And it beat my brother's Dodge Demon with the 340. My Dad said it must have had a perfect gear ratio or something...maybe it was the way it was ordered. Good luck with the revival, nice looking car.
i really enjoyed your video. reminds me of the projects my dad and I would take on. I really enjoyed your digging it out of the salvage yard. Good Luck to you, and keep those wrenches turning.
I owned one back in the day those were great cars and considering what new car cost today. It's a gem. Very simple to work on and parts are plentiful and relatively cheap. . I wish I had one today. In my opinion, it's a no-brainer go for it as long as the frame is very solid.
If it costs more to get it running than what its street value is it is something to reconsider. But if you have fun doing it and it keeps you out of the bar it is priceless.
Just subscribed. My first car was a 74 Nova custom with a 250 six banger. Took out the six cylinder and replaced it with a four main bolt 350. After me and my Dad finished with it the car was lighting quick. Bored the block over 30 to make it a 355. It was nowhere near stock. That with the a 3.73 gear in the rear axle it ran the quarter mile in the high 10 the low 11 second range.
I saw a hatchback Nova in our u pull it for 2 summers. They kept it for parts for a very long time for a u pull it. It was T Bones on the pass side, but had a nice newish yellow paint job, looked like it had just been painted not long before it got hit. Never knew they made such a thing until a couple years ago seeing that car. This is a great project car and most of the parts are available which makes it a winner.
I have a 73SS Hatch that I bought brand new in 73… 350 4 spd etc etc… I thought they all came with front disc brakes, not drums… wow… this has me glued to your video… cool❤
For 1969 thru 1972, power front disc brakes were standard an all Super Sports Nova and optional on non-SS Novas. 1973-74 power front disc brakes were optional on all Novas including SS. 1975-79 non-power front disc brakes were standard on all Novas. Power assist was optional.
I swear that's more solid than mine was.bought my 73 over 20 years ago.im in Pittsburgh pa.Mines not done .Had health issues but still at it .Hope it's done by spring summer.
Oh man brings back bad memories of my old Nova that had a basically shot column shifter! OMG it would jam up all the time! I was too young to know how to fix it or replace it. Oh well the police and the impound yard took care of that car fairly quickly! 😂😂
I like the 1973 nova the best was going to buy one in the 1980s but the rear frame rails and bumper support were shot a really wanted the car.but did not buy I had restored a 1976 nova turned our very nice drove it a while to me it wasn’t the 73 so I traded it for something else don’t remember what like I said it looked Brad new I like the novas .the 1973 was my all time favorite nova 😊 you have a nice channel here
I believe the 73 still had that "first gen" look. Backbin the early 80s my buddy drove a 71 SS nova he dropped a 396 and 4 speed into. Thing was crazy fast. Thanks for your support on the channel
There goes my thumb up just because I love thse cars, which in my country were selled as 'Coupé Chevy SS' or simply 'Cupé Chevy' as it's known here for decades. Cheers from Argentina!
@@flatbrokegarage I hope he does! And I hope that car ends up being restored, maybe not to its former glory, but good enough to be another 40-50 years on the streets. I'd hate to see it being parked in a field after you saved it after 40 years in a junkyard! Anyways, new follower. Looking forward to the next installment!
Looking forward to this. I've got a 73 or 74 hatchback Nova that nobody want it back in the early eighties. So I yanked the engine out and put it into a buddy's Omega. Strip that baby down and now here it is 2023 and it still sits in the barn but at least it has a hatch on it and the interior. And I still remember that my dad told me back then was I was a kid. I shouldn't tear the car apart. Well I got TV show was Father knows Best. Great car possibly in the rough. Hatchbacks for this body style was only 73 and 74. They stopped it in 79 for what it's worth
My 1st car was a 1970 Nova I got in 1986 and I had a love/hate relationship with that car, lol. For some reason it went through oil sending units about once every 3 months...driving down the road and suddenly you're out of oil. I used to keep a spare one in the trunk along with 5 quarts of cheap recycled empire state oil as I never seemed to put enough miles on it to ever do a proper oil change before the next sending unit would go and dump all my oil out. Other than that it was a nice car. I sanded it down good and painted it IH black with implement paint from a now defunct store called Central Tractor. Had all the original dog dish hubcaps which I liked but my folks hated and they got me a set of "fancy" plastic wheel covers for it that Christmas (That I never asked for, but pretended to like to keep them happy) I remember one winter out of 4 vehicles in the driveway including the TBird they bought new in '84, it got so cold that none of the cars would start...except for my Nova (Was it because the engine was so loose from age? Who knows, lol) Used it to jump all the others. The tires were new, but wanting to be original I had gotten bias-ply ones from Western-Auto (Also now defunct) so that you could hear the squall on almost every curve! I kept that thing 2 years and sold it for what I paid for it ($400) and bought a '78 Jeep CJ-5. I'll certainly be watching for updates on this old girl.
The 73 Nova hatchback is pretty cool. But I would have talked your friend into buying that sixty EIGHT (not 69) Olds 442. Now that would have really been a fun project. But atleast your friend is saving a 73 Nova, which is also a good thing. Thanks for the video
Totally savable, you're in the US and most of everything is available for those cars. I see some welding but nothing requiring top-notch rod shop skills.
Looks like an awesome project worth saving, but it will take more than a few days to get it road worthy (for safety), it needs quite a bit of work. That windshield will definitely have to be replaced among other things..... good luck, looking forward to seeing the progress. 👍👍
About 40 years ago, friend and I met up with some other friends at a concert and we got a ride home with them in this car. And we were sitting in the "hatchback". It's really just a trunk with no rear shelf. Kinda sketchy. :)
To be fair .. I would have had the dumped Camaro you pointed out at the beginning ... the Nova has some tricky to fix rust issues .. hmm dunno if i would have took it on .
Looks just like my 74, first car I owned. Same color, same rust. lol One of the best cars I ever had. Mine wasn't a hatchback, but my brother's Red one was. 73 and 74 were the only 2 years like this. The 68-72 look similar, but they are very different in a lot of ways. 75-80 was a different body style and whatever that crap was that they put out after 80 was a disgrace to the Nova name. I've owned a lot of Novas in my time and the 74 is still my favorite with my 65 coming in a very close 2nd. Rust areas to keep an eye on are the frame mounts for the unibody and the rear shock mounts (shock towers) in the trunk. Good luck with the project and I look forward to seeing you get it back on the road. 👍
Love most novas had a few 1969 am a nova lover except 1973 &1974. The headlights are more pronounced and it looks frog-ish to me and vega taillights. But there are a lot of people who love them and you can't go wrong with 2dr nova.
Lost my job and everything from being sick and this just helped make my day id drive that car every day if it ran shoot my 2005 Ford explorer got more rust lol
I gotta say. I really like seeing these ol’ forgotten cars going OUT of the junk yard and hopefully getting a new life. Thank you!!
Glad you enjoyed it! I'm happy it's saved too
Paul is my dad and I can’t wait to see more of this series and more of your videos, Bill! Love your content!
Thanks so much! Can't wait to hang out with him for a few days!
Love these old car storage areas! CB
Me too, I find new stuff every time I go there
Probably more than I'd be willing to do for that particular car, but I'm glad somebody's willing to do it! You're doing a great job with the channel Bill! Kurt

Isn't it amazing how many memories come back when you see an old car you once had
@@flatbrokegarage Amen to that brother!
This is going to be a great series!! Looking forward to seeing more!
We are have a blast. Thanks for watching!
The mustang it was sitting beside may have been a better candidate for a build. I love the Novas up to 72.
All of this is fun stuff to do.
Thanks!
Paul really wanted a Nova, sentimental to him. The mustang is not that bad. I did a walk-around of it in one of the videos. Thanks for watching!

The videos are up. It's back! Well kinda 😆
Long time no see my friend. That's going to be a great series right here. A chore indeed just digging it out alone. Keep up the good work! Blessings and respect!

Where is the yard in name please let me know if I can get a car or. Two
Wow your friend is ambitious…it’s always nice to see something saved but is that really the right one to save? Looking forward to seeing how this one progresses.
Thanks for watching! I guess there is a car for everyone out there
What fun. My brither had one of those. The spindle overheated and welded to the rotor. Haha.
Sometimes, the most inconvenient things make the best memories. Ya gotta love e old cars
I just found this video and i smashed the thumb and subscribed 🎉 i love seeing old cars put back on the road
Thanks! I truly appreciate it! I hate to see them rot away myself. Wish I could save them all.

Thanks so much for watching!
Keep going with it!that’s an easy one,right up my alley.a lot simpler than the 55 Packard I just got myself into.
That's a lot of chrome you bought there, still a Packard is a very cool ride
I owned one back in the day those were great cars and considering what new car cost today. It's a gem. Very simple to work on and parts are plentiful and relatively cheap. . I wish I had one today. In my opinion, it's a no-brainer go for it as long as the frame is very solid.
I agree! My newest car is 13 years old. My daily is a 30 year old 2500 Chevy pickup
I had no idea Nova came in a hatchback, pretty cool!! First time watching your channel but won’t be the last!!
They are different that's for sure.Glad you enjoy it. I appreciate you watching
These are just the kind of videos that I like. Finding old muscle and getting it driving home. I am awaiting the next instalment 👍
This should be a good one. Be sure to subscribe to #attemptedauto it's his car and will be driving it home hopefully
That not a “muscle car” it’s just a granny car with a common v8
I guess it's all in what's under the hood 😆
Green Disease I love it. Most people wouldn't bother with an old car like that. Good luck
It was a struggle, but we did get it driving again. Thanks for watching!

They are different, I've never seen many at car shows. I actually like the idea of the hatchback
Hell yeah, this is a proper episode :D
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!
It's solid car and usefully to work on
We were shocked how solid turned out to be
Been there done that as they say! Nice to watch but man a lot of work ahead on this one for some one. All the best.
Thanks! We had fun doing this one
Very interesting 🤔 content. In the 80s my brother in law had one with a 250 in it. Great 👍 car. Thanks 👍 for sharing.

❤ don't worry she will live again Regards John.
its always the little things! have had many of this year Nova and still have one today! keep building
I'm glad it's saved. Thanks for watching !
Southeast Tennessee.... I kinda need to know where this yard is. I'm starting a garage based channel.
Email me. My contact info is in the description
thats worth saving good honest video
Thank you, we got an engine in it, running, and back to his house. Other videos are up
Reminds me of the 75 Nova I put together. The body came from a salvage yard and I went from there.
Projects sure can gain momentum
Great show keep up the amazing work be safe my friends God bless all
Thanks!
Oh man brings back bad memories of my old Nova that had a basically shot column shifter! OMG it would jam up all the time! I was too young to know how to fix it or replace it. Oh well the police and the impound yard took care of that car fairly quickly! 😂😂
Isn't funny how certain cars bring back memories. I bet it was a cheap fix back in the day
I have a 62 impala ss that sat in the woods 40 years. It wasn't locked up and i was able to get it back on the road
Very cool. I'm never that lucky 😆 they are awesome cars. Thanks for watching!

My 1st car was a 1970 Nova I got in 1986 and I had a love/hate relationship with that car, lol. For some reason it went through oil sending units about once every 3 months...driving down the road and suddenly you're out of oil. I used to keep a spare one in the trunk along with 5 quarts of cheap recycled empire state oil as I never seemed to put enough miles on it to ever do a proper oil change before the next sending unit would go and dump all my oil out.

I kept that thing 2 years and sold it for what I paid for it ($400) and bought a '78 Jeep CJ-5. I'll certainly be watching for updates on this old girl.
Those are the best and most memorable cars. The love-hate relationship. I bet you will always remember it as a favorite
The 73 Nova hatchback is pretty cool. But I would have talked your friend into buying that sixty EIGHT (not 69) Olds 442. Now that would have really been a fun project. But atleast your friend is saving a 73 Nova, which is also a good thing. Thanks for the video
I've been kicking around the idea of grabbing that 442 for a few years now. It is extremely rough
Totally savable, you're in the US and most of everything is available for those cars. I see some welding but nothing requiring top-notch rod shop skills.
It was in better shape than I thought.
DO IT ITS GOOD EXPERENCE 👍👍👍
Looks like an awesome project worth saving, but it will take more than a few days to get it road worthy (for safety), it needs quite a bit of work. That windshield will definitely have to be replaced among other things..... good luck, looking forward to seeing the progress. 👍👍
It is a handful for sure. Thanks so much for watching!
New subscriber to your channel looking forward to more content on the hatch nova. Cheers
Thanks! We are working on the car today. We will be posting on both channels as soon as we can get it edited and uploaded. Thanks for subscribing!
I ❤junk yards heaven 😊a man Walmart 👍🤘🤘👌
It's a cool place
About 40 years ago, friend and I met up with some other friends at a concert and we got a ride home with them in this car. And we were sitting in the "hatchback". It's really just a trunk with no rear shelf. Kinda sketchy. :)
The good O'l days
It's a nova, it needs a lot of love, and a 427
You got that right!
I agree. I think it may end up with an LS
the leaf springs on those were always broke and doing the sidewinder i had a 73 and 74 the six banger leaf was a single and no problems with those
I'll have to remember to look at those
Mine had a mono leaf but dad and grandpa put a stack in there
Just found your channel and subscribed. Nice work.
Thank you! I think this will make a nice car for Paul
Cool car, glad you’re saving that Nova.
It is kinda cool. I'm glad he saving it too. Thanks for watching!

Thanks! I just hope we get it up and running again
To be fair .. I would have had the dumped Camaro you pointed out at the beginning ... the Nova has some tricky to fix rust issues .. hmm dunno if i would have took it on .
It's a challenge for sure. If you watch the second video you'll see it's a little more solid thatvi thought. Thanks for watching
Wow bill. Alot of work. But a super cool cat
I'm just assisting on this one. 😆
Best bet is a trashed v8 parts car 4 door for all small parts brCKETS SHAFT BOLTS ETC.
My first car was a 1969 Nova. 6 cylinder. 🙂
They sure built a lot of them.
Thanks for the entertainment
Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for watching!
My first car was a '74 Nova Hatchback with a 350 and a 3 speed in the floor. Wish I still had it.
They were good cars. My buddy had one. He called it "the square camaro"
We ordered one in 76 350. 4 spd posi am FM radio. Like 3500 bucks

Looks just like my 74, first car I owned. Same color, same rust. lol One of the best cars I ever had. Mine wasn't a hatchback, but my brother's Red one was. 73 and 74 were the only 2 years like this. The 68-72 look similar, but they are very different in a lot of ways. 75-80 was a different body style and whatever that crap was that they put out after 80 was a disgrace to the Nova name. I've owned a lot of Novas in my time and the 74 is still my favorite with my 65 coming in a very close 2nd. Rust areas to keep an eye on are the frame mounts for the unibody and the rear shock mounts (shock towers) in the trunk. Good luck with the project and I look forward to seeing you get it back on the road. 👍
He got lucky on this one. Mounts look good
Chevy loud, Chevy proud!!!
You think he will make it?
I love it
Thanks!
Great vids!!! like you're channel willl be following.
Thanks! I appreciate it
Love most novas had a few 1969 am a nova lover except 1973 &1974. The headlights are more pronounced and it looks frog-ish to me and vega taillights. But there are a lot of people who love them and you can't go wrong with 2dr nova.
I'm just glad to see novas get saved. I think they need to be better represented. Ya just don't see many around here
Man, look at that Mustang. Could you do a walk around
I will. There are 3 of them sitting side by side there.
I need that rear axle. 8.5" chevy 10 bolt. Bolts right in on place of the 8.2 in my '68 camaro.
I'm sure he has several in his yard
Actually it's a pretty rare find, a hatchback Nova.......pretty cool!!!
Turned out to be a fairly solid car.
Yeah it did! @@flatbrokegarage
Lost my job and everything from being sick and this just helped make my day id drive that car every day if it ran shoot my 2005 Ford explorer got more rust lol
I'm glad we made your day! I really appreciate you watching and subscribing
Thats going to be a good project. 😊
It should be fun
Great save id love to have it. 👍
There are 3 more there. 😆
did I see a 1967 Belvedere while you were dragging the nova out? My dads girlfriend totalled mine back in the day...
He just pulled that one out. It was a 318 car. Now it looks to have a 383 in it. It is for sale, but hit on the left front fender
I saved my 71 Nova from the junk yard. The first day i drove it i was proud.
That's awesome! Another one saved. They mean more when you bring them back yourself
