Disco Nova fans.
Just picked this gem up. One owner old lady, 69,000 miles, 6 cyl 3 speed auto, not one spot of rust anywhere. Only option is power steering. Nothing else! Time for a V8!

Re: Disco Nova fans.
OK from the limited info you gave here is what I see....76 Nova with drivers side remote mirror and for those that did not know it already has disc brakes as did all 75 and later X-bodys and no passenger dome lite swith in the door jam. I have a 78 that is the basic same car as this one but mine is brown and has 80 some thousand on it. Not much value here in parts but it may be fun to beat the snot out of when you put in the V-8!!

Re: Disco Nova fans.
Ditto, but with a 540 and make the engine look old and dirty.

Re: Disco Nova fans.
The biggest thing I have laying around is a 454 LS6 crate motor. I would have to run a 1970 LS6 intake to clear the stock hood. I also have a few 396's and a few well built small blocks. Unfortunately, I don't have the cash laying around for a big inch BBC build up.

Re: Disco Nova fans.
I've got a friend here in St. Louis that has probably built a dozen of those particular style Nova's and they just fly. Early Camaros and Novas have just become too valuable and these later ones can be picked up cheap . . . . even really nice ones! A Camaro 12-Bolt is a drop-in and they accept BBC's very easily.

Re: Disco Nova fans.
Just a small update. Installed a warmed over 350 and a 2800 stall mystery 10" converter. Kept the stock Turbo 250 slushbox and 2.73 open in it. It went 14.39 @ 94 mph with a 2.0 60 foot at Atco this past Tuesday night. Its been a really fun car and i'm working on making it more sleepy. Pics to follow.
