Talking The First Nova...

Been doing some house cleaning and found a photo [fall of 1973] that I haven't seen in over 40 years...the first Nova

1970 Nova SS 396/375hp, p/s, Forest Green, Exterior Decor Pkg., black deluxe bench seat interior. Those are Mohawk Super-Mag 60 tires with Cragars...you can see the traction bars hanging down.

I really thought this photo was lost...glad I sorted thru the trash a second time

Very cool Nova. Like the Holy Grail when you find something like that. Searched for pictures of my 1970 L78 4 speed for a long time as well. Mark

Default The First Nova...

Great to see all those green Novas...I guess earth tones were in for 1970. Thanks for the re-size on the photo...
