might be sold
 

well guys i know i have only been on this page for a few days now but im here to report i think i have sold my bird. at the gas station a guy was very interested and got all my info and when i told him how much i would sell it for he sounded very interested. i told him 6 grand. its time for something new. prolly gonna buy a car to get back and for from college with and try to buy an old toy to work on with spare change. :confused:

what about that car you mentioned before? still looking at that?

dont know if im up for buyin it yet. i found out it was wrecked in the front end pretty bad and i dont know if i trust the hick how fixed it. plus this could be my opportunity to get old. haha like a 66 nova or something sweet. a framed car that is more worth puttin money into ya know

it always worth putting money into a car if you like the car. ;)

yeah, when bad stuff happens to a car, and someone fixes it themselves, you never know if they did it right, and it leaves all kinds of possible problems.

if you are thinking of a car as an investment, not too many will be worth your money.

older cars appreciate somewhat, especially when restored prestigiously.

o well yea of course dude what im sayin is my car isnt worth puttin a ton of money into tho. lets face it fbody rust out like mad, mine is the beggining of the computer and it sucks **** so it is pretty hard to swap the motor to a carbrated 383. its just all a *****. but with an old nova or something similar its cheap and easy and they still pull top dollar when finished. my dads stang he bought for 12 grand painted it and put a motor in it then alot of tlc. a few months ago he was offered 25 grand and turned it down. old cars r gettin rarer and rarer and the price is still goin up n up im just sayin my put money into a car that isnt gonna last such as mine when i can get something worth the money. chevelle/ nova/ malibu. i got like 8 grand so that will buy one hell of a nice start.

...Whats hard about it? Yours TBI injected im guessing? You can even still use the current fuel pump with a fuel pressure regulator. All you need is a carb, non computer controlled distributor, and a fuel pressure regulator. I dont see the difficulty. But obviouslly you do not really like your 3rd gen (not 4 everybody) so you should get what makes you happy.

nothing hard about any car, the funny thing is the value of old fords is dropping like lead (been watching the auctions) a mach1 sold recently for 10 grand under average (which was still only 25 grand)

also keep in mind full frames are no better for rust (many are worse since frames rust) also the nova was a unibody car just like the camaro

they thanks for the help on what i need to change for my car to swap out motors i dont know much about computer cars but wont i also have to change ingitions cuz i have the vats system and maybe other stock car alarm units and stuff? if not that would be sweet. then archemedes- true about rust however fbodys sit much lower makein the floor pans rust quicker or at least it defentally seems like it haha. and the 1966 chevy nova 2 i beleive had a full frame because it was set up for the strip. it was designed for the strip in those days. ment to be turned into a racer. thats what im lookin for not a regular unibody nova. if im wrong im sorry but that is what i have been told.

all novas were unibody that's what made them strip ready ( a ton lighter)

o and dont get me wrong REX i love my car to death it was my first car and i have put every dime i get into it. i cant see myself drivin anything else. my biggest fear is im goin to college in the fall and i need something more reliable with better gas milage then with spare money buy a little something on the side. (old) i love old cars more than anything hint my dream cars 69 charger, 79 t/a and 60's gtx

Yay! Mine, too!!! Well, at least one of them.

Leave the computer in thats what im doin, VATs still works the same. Just rip the TBI off and connect your possitive and ground wire from the ignition switch to their respective places and you are good.

that's the normal way
