my dad had an old 4 door green nova. It saved his life one morning. in dense fog a guy in a duster went to pass a car and hit my father head on. My dad woke up with the chevy bowtie impression in his chest and a cut on his forehead. He was sore for a few days. I will always say that this nova saved his life.

I don't want to see demo anymore, especially not on that scale, so from the revival perspective, that was definitely a failure, though I don't know what chance it would have had for someone else to come along and save it from the crusher if Chris had walked on by. It might be infinitesimal, but it isn't zero. The thing to do is, once you take it, price it just out of reach of the scrapers and demo drivers and keep working on it until it is worth that price. The objective for me is charitable. that being the working poor who can't afford the rents on the bus line, and for them, the priorities are reliability and mileage, plus snow traction. What strikes me as the wierdest is that Junk Yard Digs does stuff for charity, but never revive cars for charitable purposes, though there are charities who provide cars to the working poor, and vans to the homeless. I just never see this connection made to revival mechanics, even those doing other charities. The V8 in that Nova has no practical purpose though, unless it is to tow trailers, in which case it needed a hitch.

I have a friend that had a 1978 Nova...4-door, originally a 305 V-8 (a lot had the six in them). He bought it when it was about 5-years old...used it as a work-commuter. SIX ENGINES later, no telling how many sets of tires, oil changes...a drunk hit him, totalled the old car...that was 2015...he owned it for 32-years, and by his best-guess, it had around 2-million miles on it. He admitted, he always hated the car, but it was an 'undying cockroach' that drove well, rode well, didn't stand out, being a 4-door, no one wanted to steal it...it was like 'a granny's car'...that worked. He's tried for several years to find another body to 'have it back again', but there just aren't that many out there that don't need a 'total rebuild' to even put on the road again.
