Max I finally got time to check out the second episode. I'm going to try to keep this comment short this time. lol 1. I found the episode entertaining, the story line is just a good one so it's easy to stay tuned in. 2. Asking our suggestions on how we would go about it, what I would have done (depending on it the car was within a reasonable drive from me.) I would just gone to the property and talked to neighbors or anyone in the area to get answers on the land/owners of the land. If it was to far for me to want to drive i would have just done my investigating using the internet (as you did). As far as feeling like you've done something wrong, naaa thats all part of the hunt. You'll never know if somethings available if you don't ask. Only thing i would have done different is, I would keep the voicemail short and sweet with a call back number and I would also do the (note on a car and possibly a mailbox or doorstep). I find car deals work way better if you can speak to the individual in person first so they can look you in the eyes and see that you're seriously interested in the car. (not just someone looking to get it cheap to sell it and make a buck on it.) keep grinding the car will show and who knows maybe that one is the one, timing is just not right.

The Nova community IS special.

😂 looked like a lot of fun playing in the snow on the way ! 😂

Great series Max. Keep it going and keep searching. I also enjoy your video production skills. 😎

Today is a good day , for you, I got pics of the Nova, going home to send them to you. The body of this car is a lot better than what mine is!

I’ve always said to myself, and my kids - well, anybody who’d listen hahahaha - never wrong to ask….worst is a no, best - in your case - is a collab to make a dream come true. You wouldn’t have been so hard on yourself if all would’ve gone through. Good luck man, you’ll find that car ( we’re from Orléans too). Nice to see local content. Don’t give up! Liked this video (hunt) for « the » car.

Good luck on your journey I've been on a similar Journey myself, I'm 52 years old, and when I was 21 I had a 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass and I sold it when I was 26 and regretted it everyday so the past 10 years I've been on a journey looking for the old girl, and here in the states you can't get any information from the DMV/Tax assessor because after the automobile off for the registry for 20 plus years it impossible according to the DMV and Police.....

2 down, 1 to go...I think. I'm enjoying the journey. 🙂

Nicely put together Max you will find that perfect car continue to be patient 👍🏻

Sweet opening bro !

Great cinématique; love the storyline. I am from the region and agree that we got a cold winter in 2023, and lots of snow. And you are correct , doing donuts in the snow is something to be experienced.

Great episode! It's turning out to be a bit like a P.I show, the hunt is on and it's only a matter of time. Real shame about that chevy in Gatineau, the weather sure beat the heck out of it, bet it was a beauty back in the day. The 'abandoned' lot mystery must have been gut wrenching hearing nothing back, however, I do think you went about it the right way that was true to yourself. You laid it all out and went for it, there's no shame in that. We miss 100% of the shots that we don't take, just sucks it didn't work out this time. Onwards we go! If matt got lucky, so can you. 👊👊

well that was entertaining i certainly wasn't expecting to not see a nova at the end. i own a 71 nova that ive owned for about 4ish years now(15k in on the project) im constantly searching for parts on offer up just to see what pops up I also occasionally check to see the price of what they going for for southern california youll be able to find the type of nova your looking for mostly because of the perfect weather you might have to pay the california premium but its still affordable when you compare it to what you showed as potential project cars anyways goodluck hunting,the universe handed me mine so i understand why your not trying to force any sale

Keep going Max! This was a amazing episode!

Hey man! What is the camera you use in these videos? Looks mint. Also great production. I usually don't like alot of dialogue on car videos but this was well put together. Highly enjoyed!

I asked for a 1970 nova about 5 years ago from its owner... it was not for sale but is still sitting after all this time. I am tempted to go back over and ask them about it again. It is burgundy and has a sun roof bucket seats if i remember correctly. I just picked up a 1971 c20 today and don't really need another project so if I get it I'll let you know.

I love this story. I have been on the hunt for some cars as well. Dont think as in depth as you are though. But I do have 2/4 cars i want

I am too old and crippled to drive anymore but sure would of enjoyed driving a new bronco. I am not too excited about the body style but it has some of the nicest features as for driving it around in really tough terrain like we have in our off road situations in alaska. Looks as though you could do drifting right out of the showroom floor!

Get the plate number off the trailer and see if you can find the owner of the trailer and go from there it might work.

I know you live in Canada. This car I know we're it is though is in the United States of America. If you're willing to possibly travel here to check it out here to see if it's the one for you.

Hi, I live in Grand Falls New Brunswick. 4 Years ago I bought a 71 Nova Rally from a fellow that had 2 Novas!. I was at first interested in the white 72, cause I had been told that it had a dz 302 engine in it. It didn't. It took me 5 years to get the 71 Rally, all because at first the guy had offered it to me for $100.00. I turned him down cause at the time I really wanted the 72 cause of the motor that was supposed to be in it. Long story short, this guy probably still has the 72! From what I had seen of the 72, it was complete, the only thing wrong mostly was the flares over the back wheelwell. They were both standard with 350 engines. If you might be interested, I could get you the phone #, and his name. Just let me know and the car might be inside, so I could get some photos of it. Good luck, and oh yeah, I got mine for $1,000 finally, engine running and all plus I have been restoring it since then!

Man those people seem highly incompetent. In the states, or in Texas at least, property ownership is public record. You can go online to your county’s website, type in an address and see who owns it. I wish I could help you. I have the PERFECT car for you. It’s a 70 and already stripped down, ready to be put back together, but it has its own sentimental value to me, and I don’t ever see myself selling it. These are are plentiful down here, so often cheaper than what you seem to be finding. Not sure on international shipping rates, but if you were to find one in the states, specifically in the south (less rust) you may still make out the same with shipping included

I've been looking for 3 years

Seems if the police can run the plates to see if it's stolen, then they should be able to tell you who the last registered owner was if the plates wasn't stolen. Once you have that information you possibly could go to the post office and see if a change of address was put in.

I know where one is in redkey, Indiana. That's if it's still for sale I can check on it for your I could show him your KZfaq channel.

Hey buddy if you can give me a few weeks to talk to these people about a 71 nova that’s been setting in this barn for at least 30 years and try and talk them into selling it hopefully I can and I want to do it because the love for cars that I have and I love your story and how you want to bring something that’s been sleeping for so long and wake it back up is absolutely amazing so please be patient and give me time to find out who owns it and if I can persuade them into selling it

look down south in the usa be srust free and in great shape

I got a nova for ya

I have a 1968 Chevy nova I'm looking to sell, its not in great condition (can get more into details if you're interested) been looking for the right seller because I want to see this thing fully restored even if its not mine, has a lot of meaning and value to me. Reply with you're email or something if your interested ! See that you love this car as much as me and my Father did and id love to see it be restored.

And United States there's an assessor's office it tells you who owns the the property find out who you need to see you too find the owner of the property

They are cool, and, still a lot of them around. So, if your gonna' make a big deal of finding one, step up to a big block, 4 SPD., or even rarer, a solid one. What?, you don't think we have snow, or do donuts in the USA? Gimme a break,,,,DUBS,,,

the person who owned it is probably dead. go to the township or land registry and find out whats going on with the land

Man I have a journey on my 72 Nova I’m 17 and I’m trying to fix mines man maybe hit my dm if your interested

I like find a 71 nova , you may find one in Bowmen Montana blue with white venal top front end damage with 307 v 8 headers mincky Thomson tires rear America racing rims tracktion bars welded on rear end

Car might be there it happened in 1973

You aren't looking hard enough....Craigslist..Facebook..other outlets...not that hard!!
