[QUOTE="KingofThings, post: 75229, member: 468"]Though I didn't quite know it that far back, I am a Chevy guy. My Chevy lovin' friend lost his marbles and bought one of the first Mach 1s. Ford decided I was a Chevy guy by the fact that the [U]2[/U] of us, who knew what we were doing, took over 2 hours to change the spark plugs in that thing! I tuned in to '57s and Novas. Had a'69 SS that would pull the wheels on the street and a '63 convertible SS too that I was working on but got drafted. :( To 'replace' the '69 (never) I found what turned out to be a pretty rare car. The 1968 was still a Chevy II so this one is a '68 Chevy II Nova SS, one of only 5,470 built. That may sound like a lot but cars were built in the millions. This was the first of the 3rd generation Novas and many of these, mostly SSs, became drag race cars. I got her from the original owner in '86. She's not near as fast as the '69 was but that is just fine. :) She needs to be redone now but will look like this again! :)[/QUOTE]
