1965 Chevy Nova Station Wagon purchased in summer of 1976 for $300 (that I had saved form my newspaper route) from a kid that was shipping out in the navy.
283 with a powerglide. I spent LOTS of money on it at good old SuperShops over the next few years. Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold and 650cfm 4 barrel Holley carb, Simpson headers and dual exhaust. Had the Distributor recurved at REATH Racing Engines on Cherry avenue. Added a TH350 transmission with a home built linkage to keep the shifter on the column. and most importantly a Audiovox FM convertor and some 6x9 speakers to rock out!
Sadly the car was totaled early one Sunday morning, as I headed off to work, when I got T-boned by a drunk running a red light in his 3/4 ton chevy pickup truck doing about 60MPH!
