    My persimmon metallic (ORANGE) 75 Nova SS came with a white lower stripe and white Nova SS decals, but the original owner went with a cream repaint and gaudy custom SS marks. Question is, should I retore it to original white accents, or would it kick *** with a black lower strip and black Nova...
  14. 4th Generation Nova's
    I was wondering if there is a registry out there that lists all the known 75-76 Nova SS cars? If not, maybe its something we should get started! I was thinking of something similar to this site http://v8cars.hu/73-77cutlassregistry/list.php or something similar.

    Couldn't stand the custom painted-on pinstriping on my 75 SS. Took a chance and used Easy Off oven cleaner very carefully and the pinstriping is coming off nicely without apparently damaging the 1984 applied Imron paint underneath. As expected, there are "ghosts" where the pinstriping has lived...

    I also posted this in the BS section just in case. Its a familiar story: Way back in 1986, in a little town called Lodi, New Jersey, I smashed up my 1st car, a rare 1976 Nova SS Hatchback. Heartbroken and banged up pretty good, I sold the car for $500 bucks. Maybe, just maybe, the guy who...

    You spoke, I listened and ditched the gold American Racing wheels that he original owner put on in the 80's. Went with chrome 15 inch Cragar S/S and I think I preserved the classic look that I'm shooting for while still drastically improving the car. Thanks for everyone's help! Last pic is with...
