    It's crazy how expensive these Nova's have gotten over the last decade. These were dime a dozen cars, but, they are just slowly disappearing. Luckily, there are so many parts available for the cheap (relative to Mopar or some Fords). Awesome score, really looking forward to seeing how this thing continues to build!

    Well I have a 1965 nova that I still drive every day this car I bought it my self while I was still in high school n everyone is trying to buy from me but I am not selling my first car I bought the car for 1500 in 1965 before I went into the military

    • @LyonRacing24
      @LyonRacing24  6 місяців тому +1

    Who in their right mind lets such a cool car as the Nova get in this condition? If I didn’t have the money to restore it I would find someone who does BEFORE it rots. Every time I restored a car I didn’t remove one panel until I had ALL the parts needed. People pull these cars apart and then realize it ain’t cheap for resto parts!

    That engine is a one piece rear seal engine. Out of a 89 -95 Chevy. I think they take an external balance flywheel? Also I think the transmission you pulled out is a 350 not a power glide. I might be wrong but u can run casting numbers to verify.

      @@frankgomez1965 yeah it’s a 350 after I got it in the ground I looked at the pan and noticed it was a 350. I just figured it was a power glide bc that’s what should have been in there stock lol
