Climate has more to do with rust than
That should run OK with a LS motor on board.That’s the plow from our ATV we store in the barn. When I moved the Nova yesterday it resulted in this scene.
Let the crude comments begin. Especially from all you anti-Chevy guys. Let’s hear it!
Whatchu got?

I really don't think Chrysler could continue the poor sellers back in 1983. True, the Cutlass sold 187,631 two doors in that year (plus the four doors) but the Dodge Mirada and Chrysler Cordoba didn't sell 20,000 combined and sales were in a decline over previous years. As for the R bodies, by the time they were discontinued a large percentage of them were built as police cars, and the M body more than made up for those sales.
I'm glad they figured them out eventually. My bought-new in '85 GLH Turbo was a blast to drive -
Even though I live in Texas, I'm about 9 miles from Galveston Bay so if a car is parked outside, it's probably going to get a good coating of due every night (with this summer being an exception). Then we have the SE breezes a lot which brings in high humidity from the Gulf. Then if you spent a lot of time in Galveston (oh man, I did), your car is subject to the salt and big time. Maybe my Fastback spent some time on the beach....it did when I owned it. My first car always got a good bath after being out there but the Mustang had some pretty good holes in the quarters so it didn't get the bath it should of had because I didn't want a trunk full of water. I did rinse from the inside out from time to time. And you should see the interior chrome trim in my Belvedere. Talk about the pits that have popped up and it's inside the shop! Right now the humidity is 80% out here.
And the E body sales took a dive in....with some of that being because of Nam. I know it was one of the reasons I didn't buy anything new. Nam or not, figured I'd be in the military at some point in the not too distant future and so many others did the exact same thing.I really don't think Chrysler could continue the poor sellers back in 1983.

Agreed that it was too bad the big block got taken away, there was too long of a gap before the Cummins diesel was offered to fill the need for torque. Power that was great for pushing snow plows, back to the original post.
From my understanding, the 265 in my Belair became the 283 and then finally the 307. I thought the 307 is where that block ended.
The car is a 1970. That 307 is rated for 200hp that year. By '72/'73 that hp was cut nearly in half. Came with Rochester 2bbl originally but the previous owner put an Edelbrock 1405 600cfm on it. Timing cover has been off of it and I don't why. It's gutless, but super reliable. Anytime I heard 305 OR 307 over the years my eyes never really lit up.
Oh we make it work, believe you and meHow do you get both cars under one car cover?
I'm surprised it took so long for someone to mention that one lol.
Even better, the Chevy Citation was reportedly the replacement for the Nova in 1980 on the X-platform. My great grandma drove one of those.
How's this?That should run OK with a LS motor on board.
How about some mud-grip tires for those difficult days.
Do you tie a chain around the wiper arms to raise and lower the blade.
uhhh....that's all I got. Nice Nova.
Heard lots of derogatory terms and acronyms for Ford over the years, but that's a first for that one...that's great lol
Nice looking blue. But that's all I got for a Camaro.
Now that...IS SHARP
That blue does look nice imoit's a suzuki blue!
