sadly, the lack of a heater in the Nova isn't a problem for me anymore, as i traded the car for a 74 Monte Carlo almost a year ago. but, as awesome as the heater in that beast is, it won't matter, either, as i have an AWD Astro van for a winter beater that has a prett good heater in it. and if that thing breaks down, there's always the 81 F250 4X4..
