No, I just took those pictures last summer with my digital camera after Johnny Rotten kept bugging me for some fresh material.:D

It's still sitting in the garage in primer with not a whole lot of progress but I'll try to post some pics. I have the new 8-71 supercharged big block ready to drop-in as soon as I get the beast painted.

It was a very clean restored low-mileage southern car when I bought it. I've done quite a bit to it but the body is all original as-is most of the interior. The paint is correct Mist Blue lacquer re-painted about ten years ago. There is virtually zero rust on the car and it looks just as good underneath up in the air on the lift as it does on the topside. Cherry.
It's put away now for the winter. The last time I drove it was about a month ago. Waxed it up good and stored it in the garage. I haven't looked at it since. The muscle car season is a lot shorter up here in Chicago than it was in Tennessee.

My first Nova was a 63 with 29,000 original miles on it and it was in near mint condition!! I got 21 miles per gallon. My second Nova sedan came from mexico had a 302 with 12.5 to 1 trw pistons and the 30 30 cam ported double hump heads 780 holly and 260 gas I used to race it in the day I had a stock six rear end and stock six trans with a three speed hurst shifter one of a kind that I have Never seen again one of the cars I raced had a 413 wedge motor in a coronet when he shifted into third gear I hit around 5000 rpm's in second gear wound it to 6500 and went by him like he put the breaks on those were the days!!! My third nova was a 65 SS 327 four speed I will have to post some pictures!! My fourth nova was a 73 SS 350 four speed!! I loved all of those Nova's and had a blast driving them tickets and all!!!.......302Nova

Back in the early 1980s, I built a 377 CI small block for my 64 SS (before I pro-streeted it) and it was around 11:1 compression with the Duntov 30/30 off-road special z/28 302 solid-lifter cam in it. It was a 4-speed car and also had a Holley Strip Dominator single-plane on it with a 750 double-pumper.
Needless to say, I crushed a lot of my buddies Blue Ovals (including a '69 Mach I with a 428 Super Cobrajet in it) as well as a few Mopars (including a 68 GTX 440 Magnum) and also a 69 z/28 with a 302 and the crossram intake as well as a lot of others. The thing was a screamer in the light little Deuce.
Those were during the final days of Sunoco 260 leaded fuel.

It was originally a Mist Blue car. It was repainted with genuine lacquer about 12 years ago and still looks pretty good. A couple minor stone chips but that's about it. It doesn't get driven a whole lot and then only on nice days.
wow a A/C factory tach car? man nice car!
It wasn't originally a factory A/C car but it has a complete factory A/C setup with the exception of early Corvette compressor brackets. Everything works though. I added the factory tach a few years ago (one of 300). I have an original 65 HD A/C radiator with the rare steel finger guard fan shroud that I bought from Wayne Bushey that I plan to restore for it this summer.

The '65 SS 4-speed is the most sought-after 1st gen there is, especially with the 327.

The 2nd SS that I bought had -has the hump on the floor & ped. & 327 on the fenders with a lot of paint on them when I bought it. With no motor or trans I will never know . How it left the fact . And yes the 4 speed car is fun to drive

It's hard to drive them and keep them looking good.
But they really aren't worth having if you never drive them.

Yes that's the factory option. You could order the car with it or have it dealer-installed. It works too. The A/C wasn't as powerful back then as it is today but it blows cold air.
