Hey guys I’m looking at buying this car, if anybody has any info on it’s past life or has checked it out and noticed something I missed please let me know. Located in New England.

Only see a small x where the picture should be.

I can't see it, either. Your picture is probably too large. Try reducing the size.

On my computer, I get a 3 second look at it. All I can notice in that time is a '65 grille, and some tricky wheel well radius work at the rear quarter. Think it has some history to it? What do you know about it?

I got a screen shot off just before it vanished..

Its black, the hood is not original, nor are the front seats and rims.

What are you really trying to get at?

Generally speaking, I’m not an advocate for radiused rear wheel arches on 1st gen Nova’s.. These don’t do anything to change my position on this matter.. I’m not speaking in terms of quality of the execution but solely from an aesthetic standpoint.. The body lines in the rear quarter panel are disturbed and clumsy feeling in most cases. From a practical standpoint, I fully understand why opening up the rear arches is a solution that becomes necessary in some cases. Making it not look awkward is not an easy task..

Where is it in New England? While not large states, how they treat the roads can be different, same for living near the coast or inland in the mountains.

I don’t like those wheel openings either. If the car is fairly priced and you have skills to redo the qrts go for it. It would be a good little muscle car to tinker with. If you don’t mind the wheel openings then there’s a savings you can apply elsewhere in the car.

It all depends what final outcome you’re aiming for.

A co-worker years ago had a car that sort of reminds me of this car. It had a cowl hood and some old mag wheels and was dark purple. It looked like a car that someone who didn't know anything about cars, but wanted a hot rod, built. If that makes sense. Anyone with a fast car would assume it wasn't fast, but it ran mid 10's with a shot of nitrous on street tires.
This to me would be a fun car to buy and make into a super sleeper.
