it's baaaaaaaack....

[sproosemoose]

that's right...the nova from "carlito's way" is once again on ebay, and the BS is deeper than ever. this car might run 9.9's in the 1/8th mile, and i'm pretty sure that's not an LT-1.

[big dog ss]

[415 nova]

Are those body parts in the plastic bag on the passenger floor????? eeewwwww!!!! :shh:

[Ox65]

Maybe its a LT1 with a custom TPI setup, I'm sure Pacino whats that junk.:rolleyes:

[the FLYER]

i think it's amazing... they've done an EXCELLENT job of preserving the "FUGLINESS" of this car !!! :rolleyes: :p :D :D :D


AMAZING !!! :D :D :D

[novagoesvroom]

What a POS. More like a 3k car, and a 47K story.

[Bart]

I'm not a member of ebay but I wonder if someone from here can email Bongwater and ask him if he has the time slips to prove 9.9 1/4 mile claim.

Even if that supposed LT1 was nursing a bottle I really dought he could pull a time like that.

One thing is for sure this guy isn't the biggest idiot, it will be the poor SOB who pays more than 50k for this car.:D

THIS WILL BE A GREAT CAR FOR THE NEXT BARRET JACKSON AUCTION COULD EXCEED $400000 AT THERE NEXT SALE

I think he forgot the decmal point on the price. It should read:

"THIS WILL BE A GREAT CAR FOR THE NEXT BARRET JACKSON AUCTION COULD EXCEED $4000.00 AT THERE NEXT SALE"

[the FLYER]

I think he forgot the decmal point on the price. It should read:

"THIS WILL BE A GREAT CAR FOR THE NEXT BARRET JACKSON AUCTION COULD EXCEED $4000.00 AT THERE NEXT SALE"


CORRECTION... incorrect decimal point (again)


"THIS WILL BE A GREAT CAR FOR THE NEXT BARRET JACKSON AUCTION COULD EXCEED $40.00 AT THEIR NEXT SALE"

[67 supersport]

THERE WAS AN OFFER OF $100000 AT THE END OF FILMING BY ONE OF THE STARS

bet hes kicking himself for not taking that.

[evldoer]

50000 $ paint job??? Im in the wrong business. I guess smoking crack is becoming more and more popular then ever........

[NIGHTSHADE]

No matter how many times it is listed, it just doesn't get any better looking.

It's still ugly!!!:D

[65IIba64]

He crossed the line when he chopped it.

Then he had the nerve to put a 54 Grille on it.

He needs to be slapped and have his face drown in a vat of pig intestines.

I also wonder who did the typing for this character. He has the grammar of a 3rd grader.

FUGLY IS RIGHT!

[72VenturaII]

Interesting how the car supposedly $400K at B-J is sitting in front of a $75,000.00 house. No bid at $50K. I guess the ebayers aren't as stupid as they look.

[72GreenRally]

I hope Al Pacino shoots him for implying his taste is that horrible.:eek:
YES AL PACINO YOU ARE WELCOME TO BID ON THIS CAR

If crack makes you think that is a $50K car, or even worse, a $400K car, then I sure as hell don't want any!!!!:D

At best it is a half finished custom. He made quite a few body mods, but left the interior completely stock, (except for the shifter) and sprayed rubberized undercoating on the undercarriage. And I don't see those hooking for a 9.9 1/4.

Randy (can I bid $1???):D

Sir, my Mama always said, "Fugly is as Fugly does"

[TY70SS]

:mad: :mad: I would not take that car if it was givin to me.:eek: :eek: Who ever buys that car is being RIPED OFF!!!!!:eek: It doesent even deserve to be called a nova.What was this guy thinking.

[66nogo2]

Looks like Al called, because its no longer for sale.

[the FLYER]

sounds like it was "Carlito's way" :rolleyes: :D :D :D

[L79Fan]

What a POS. More like a 3k car, and a 47K story.
Yeah! A 47K story MINUS the puctuation! Looks like he must have slept through that part of english comp 101. What exactly is the 3d paragraph supposed to say? That's probably an early 3d gen Camaro 305 TPI engine. Not to mention a waste of a 1st gen Camaro front bumper. Please get it out of my driveway before anyone that knows me drives by! :cool:

[blue1976nova]

THERE WAS AN OFFER OF $100000 AT THE END OF FILMING BY ONE OF THE STARS


Then why didn't you take him up on the offer instead of taking half as much on ebay?

See the reason no one is willing to pay that much is because he's on ebay, its ugly, and people who think that car looks good don't own compruters or get on tha inanets. Let him take it to down town Memphis where they'll spend that much just to put crome rims on a rusty 84 caprice :D.
He'll either sell it or it will get carjacked :). Next time he sees it it will have a set of 20's.

It might not look as terrible if it were jet black or something dark and solid. That flame job makes it look like a circus attraction.

[2novacars]

This Guy is really out of it. He's not only dreaming he talking in his sleep or out his, you know.:beer:

[MelloYello]

There's not a face in the emotes's that can describe the look that i have after reading this guy's auction. The combination of these will have to do ...:eek: :rolleyes: :geek: :beat: :awkward:

After all the talk here about the car, I noticed that the movie was going to be on, so I recorded it. Admittedly I just fast-forwarded through most of the movie, but... As far as I could tell, there is a 2-minute-long scene shot inside the car as they are driving along (all you see of the car is the headliner), plus a shot from outside of them parking and getting out of the car...about 5 seconds long. That's near the beginning of the movie, then the car never shows up again. Not exactly the star of the picture. Did I miss something?

[Billy_Pilgrim]

Do you guys really believe this auction is for real? Cmon..."Yes Al Pacino, you can bid on the car" and the Barrett Jackson BS? It's a RUSE, IMO.

[Nova_Guy]

I was flipping through the channels and caught the 10 seconds the car was in the film. Not worth bragging about. My brother-in-law owned a car used in a movie. He bought and sold this Monte Carlo for $500 after it was done being used in the movie. The movie was filmed in Benton, IL. where he lived

[ottosnova]

You are all correct in that the ebay posting was bogus. I am the owner of the Nova. Someone photographed the car in my driveway and posted the ad. I was alerted and contacted the person and he withdrew the posting. The guy purchased another car from me that I was selling and asked if he could take pictures of my Nova. The next thing I knew, the car was on eBay. Most of the information he posted was false...he made it up.

Despite all the negative comments by many of you, my Nova is certainly a conversation piece. It may not be to your liking, but it has brought me a lot of enjoyment.

[DANNO]

Don't be too offended and don't take it personal. There are so many bogus entries on eBay that it's kind of a sport here to make fun of them. Nothing personal was intended, I'm sure. ;)

Can you post some pics or a link? The ebay ad pics don't work and I want to see it. I have never seen it before.

Dan (welcomingly)

Thanks, Dan, for the welcome. I understand that you edited some of my comments; however, some of the comments made which caused me to respond could have used a little editing. It's one thing to comment on someone's car. It's another to comment on people's intelligence or home, even though I was not the one who posted the ad filled with incorrect grammar, spelling and punctuation on eBay, and the house in the picture is my neighbor's. By the way, the car "under the tarp" is a 1965 Mustang Fastback, which I am restoring for my daughter. In my garage is the Nova as well as a 1957 Chevy which I restored for my son.

[MK70SS]

I saw the movie about 4 times and I can't recall the car. Anyone got a picture for me? The Ebay link won't show the pics any more.:confused:

[1965proSTREET]

i guess my comments couldnt be edited. they had to be deleted? oh well. it happens. like danno said, its kinda a sport here to make fun of the bogus ebay ads. and there is a difference in grammer in a forum and when used as an ad like ebay. here we type fast and sometimes the fingers dont keep up...i know how it feels to have your car bashed. BELEIVE me. but hey, laugh it off and dont get too offended. to each his own.

[Zach]

Ouch, I feel for this guy. I don't think the car looks bad at all, it's definitely unique though ;) .

[novanutcase]

C'mon Guys! A spade is a spade! I'm sorry Otto but your car is DEFINITELY not my cup of tea. Do I think it is UGLY? OH YEAH! Otto this is just my opinion so please don't take it personally! Let's just agre to disagree?!!??

[DANNO]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. When I was young, customizing cars was the rage. This car would have fit right in. I remember helping a guy frenching in some 59 Caddy tailights into the back of his 58 Chevy. 54 Chevy grills were very popular back then, as were 58 Buick grills. Few people wanted to keep their car stock.

You may like it. You may not. Either way, I'm just trying to keep the peace here.;)

I will say that Ottosnova's welcome to Steves site has been the crappiest I have seen to date. I know it wasnt done intentionally but it still wasnt very welcoming.

HA !!! awkward situation ta say the least !!!


we have a tendency ta critique E-Bay and critique rather harshy... our "tits" been caught in a wringer a few times now... here we bag (or not in lotsa cases) and find the owner a new or a lurking member... think of the embarrasment it causes us once we find somthing we trashed on E-Bay, the owner winds up here and calls us out... which is happening here... and rightfully so...

we try to be very honest about our likes and dislikes... we don't want to offend a member so with a high degree of respect we tell them that we don't care for this or that about their rides... when it's on E-Bay i guess we never really expect the guy ta show up here so we kinda let it all hang loose...


i'll not go back on my comments stating i don't care for your car... i don't... but i WILL apologize for stating it in a disrespectfull manner to which you might have been offended...


all's i can say now is i hope this discretion is forgiveable and you'll join the Site and see with a short time just what we are really made of... don't let this one instance ruin the comradery we all share here... we would like you to join if you'd like...




Johnny (i may be Rotten) but i try to be truthfull ;) :D :D :D

[ottosnova]

I appreciate and respect those who responded in a positive way.

[67 Chevy II]

I remember seeing that nova at the Nassau coliseum car show a long time ago did you own it then? I live on long island to maybe I will see you around.

[ottosnova]

Yes, my car was at the Nassau Coliseum a few times and at different car shows throughout the years on Long Island. I have owned the car since the early 90's.

[Sh1fter]

It looks like a ton of work and the craftsmanship looks great in the pics. Welcome to the site!
