My 77 wasn’t as good sold it after it was 6 years old This 1978 has been the best car I’ve ever had. I’ve owned it now for 14 years!! Always starts and runs I haven’t had to even jump start it for the last 10 years!! Nice ride and handles great . Thanks for sharing!!

you must be 16 years old.. This was my first car and it was the biggest WHEEZEBAG I have ever driven.. Sucked fuel like it was cocaine

@@peterdaniel66 ye im 16 but my nova has a 327 small block that wastes alot less gas then the original 6 cylinder engine and sounds alot better and I also have a volvo s60 2006 and a volvo 240 turbo :)

350 Motor with the 4bbl carb had good power but laden with heavy smog equipment. What transmission did you use. Amazing you could get it to go so fast. You may have set a world speed record for a Nova.

@@thecaradvisorclassics we had it going top speed from jewel lake road in anchorage ak, to 5th ave and fairbanks street in less then 10 minutes. (Tho having 6 family members in 1 car at 3:00 am apparently is suspicious,according to the officer who pulled us over.)

Alot of nova's are used as dragsters.

OMG 😳 I hope he finally let you all go. Thanks for sharing your story

Thanks for your comments. I totally agree. I can get into my Nova any time and drive it anywhere. It doesn’t have air conditioning so I mostly drive it in the cooler months. Sometimes a few days in a row to work and back. Often to the mountains. Lots of thumbs up’s.

@@thecaradvisorclassics My Nova/Omega lacked A/C, too. Many of them did for it was an option at the time. And used the now banned R12 Freon.

@@gsnfan I love having the no air option because of the floor vents. Since the vehicles of those days were not aero dynamic you can actually drive with the windows open with out much flutter and in combination with floor vents it’s kind of like being on a motorcycle with a car body surrounding you. Awesome 😎

Do you still have the car?

Finally the 1975 to 1979 Novas are starting to get the recognition they deserve. The didn’t before because they have to pass a smog check in many states. That’s ridiculous for a car of this age. In 1975 GM put the front subframe from the Camaro onto the Nova. 👍 That really improved handling!! You have a great powertrain combination. I have mine for 13 years and wouldn’t hesitate driving anywhere with it. Just keep all the fluids clean and watch the hoses and belts and they will last almost for ever. Thanks for sharing your comments.

You described the car perfectly. Even the rear seat cushion to make the rest leg room look 👀 more spacious. I also had a 77 Novs sedan during and after high school with a bench. Since I’m tall the back seat passengers were really squeezed in. 😂 lol. Compared to now cars are so much more spacious and efficient. The Nova was considered a compact then. But that is part of what makes them cool now and they look 👀 really cool. Thanks for your comments.

Unfortunately I don’t know where the seats came from they look like a Pontiac of some type possibly when I purchased a the Nova almost 13 years ago they were in the car already. Thanks for the nice comments wish I could help you find seats like them

The engine is original. Very strong Runner. Doesn’t consume any oil or smoke. They do last for ever with proper care. Thanks.

My papaw had 1976 metallic brown with a 305 that was the first car, I got steer. My sister let me steer it when, I was 5 years old. 😎

Thanks for watching. Glad you like the Nova. More videos coming soon.

it is delicious and in my tummy

Gracias. Yo También. Es muy divertido.

I will some day soon. Thanks 😊. Trunk to full of stuff. Lol

The air intake is on the driver side fender. That way it receives cooler air. Quite ingenious for the time.

Actually they will go well over 85 miles per hour. Lol. In those days we even had a brief period of 55 Mph on California highways

Yes for a short time to conserve fuel there was a brief period of a maximum Highway speed limit of 55 Mph. I don’t. Remember which year. And some manufacturers installed speedometers with ridiculously low maximum speed speedometers.
