Hey all,

Just wanted to share with you guys how much I just love my Nova, maybe it's not as good looking as other muscle cars, but it's so far one of the best cars I ever had, though I modified it a bit... or a bit more.. :) but anyway 4 gen Novas are great cars, future (current?) classics to be kept! :D

I like it, I think you'll find here in 4th gen. we're a little biased to them. Stating the obvious of course. Personally I don't like Novas in general, only the 4th gen cars. The 3rd gen to me looks like someone blew a loogey out of their nose looked at it and said "hey that would make a great looking car" Chevy must have realized their mistake and turned to the 4th gen to attain some class in the looks department.

Oh stop it, it's all in good fun. :D

The 1st gens are OK i guess, little boxy for my taste and way too popular. Dare to be different.

Yup, hang on to your 4th gen, the more that get scrapped the more valuable the ones that are left become. It's just as good looking as any other muscle car, in the eye of the beholder.

I don't know why some 3rd gen guys bash the 4th gen cars, they're basically the same underneath the skin. Even up to 76 the dash is the same.
