This is my 1969 Nova, everything original except for the wheels, steering wheel, and the radio. All matching numbers and it has 67,000 original miles on it. I bought it for $4,000. How much do you think it's worth?

If it has a title, drive it to Florida and I'll give you $6000 :D
looks good from here any interior and engine pics

I'd say atleast double what you paid.

I paid that for my Camaro 10 years ago :rolleyes:

I can get the pics of the motor tomorrow, but here are a few pics I have of the interior. Like I said before, this is all original including paint job and interior. I'm 17 years old and I was pretty darn excited about this being my first car and all. Not really unusual though, considering I grew up around these cars.

Welcome Cody, Congrats on a Beautiful first car, you'll definatly make memories with it. :thumbsup:

Very appreciated. I love this car. Though I do have to say that it kinda gets old everybody coming into work asking to buy it. But I love talking about it. And it drives great. It has the v6 230 in it. Good on gas mileage too. ;)

Welcome Cody, nice car and to be correct it is not a V6 but an inline 6. There are 2 ways to stop the people asking to buy it, 1) tell them it is $25K and 2) put a sign on it that states "NOT FOR SALE" :D

a million bucks! sweet ride

As soon as I get the Corvette Ralleys sandblasted and powercoated, the American Racing wheels are coming off and the Ralleys are going on. It's a good thing I don't have to buy brand new ralley center caps. I didn't really know those were so darn expensive.

WOW, great buy. I love the interior color combo, almost looks retro-50's. Great deal, great car, you are one lucky guy....Jackel

Now I don't think it matters what I think its worth as I'm not a car appraiser:D I think you got a good deal if that helps you.:thumbsup:

I have to say it before Brian gets here...Its worth what ever you are willing to pay for it! LOL :D

Sorry Brian I couldnt help myself!;)

Clean car for a first ride. Some one has taken good care of it for the last 40 years! Congrats!

are you sure those door panels are original?

Here are two pics of the motor. A bit dirty I think, but the only things I've done with it is I repainted the breather, took all the grease off with engine degreaser, and put a new carb. on it.

And I also repainted the valve cover.

I'm pretty sure they are. I have all of the records from when the car was brand new and I didn't see replaced door panels anywhere!

welcome to team nova!! looks like a nice car!! good find!!

I've recently been having some trouble with it though. When I mash the gas, It bogs down until it actually starts going smooth. I've replaced the distributor points and checked all of the spark plugs. And cleaned the carb. Any ideas guys??

Carb needs tuning maybe?

x2 :yes:

were you having gummed up/misfire or the likes type issues before?
Did the car sit for awhile?
(Gas quality?)

I put regular gas in it and it had been sitting for a couple of months, but not any longer than that.

Fuel filter??

Replaced it already.

It either sounds like it's getting to much fuel on acceleration until it gets high enough rpm's to take the fuel or not getting enough, if your carb is tuned right, might check your fuel pump.

I will go ahead and say it since everyone else is afraid to.

Timing, maybe?

I think it's either the fuel pump or the timing. Thanks guys....I really appreciate all the help.

Check this thing out...I would drive the crap outta this thing. I could drive my favorite car and still go muddin'

That's pretty extreme. I think you should get another car to go muddin' but that's just my opinion, ha ha
