Jim's Chevy Nova looked so good in the late light that I shot it even though I had to use 1/50 sec, f/2.8 @ ISO 1600. I should have used the tripod, but it was too far away. ;)

It has a 350 turbo trans, 3.07 positraction rear end, & Jim drives it about 10,000 miles a year.

He found it in 1999 in the Trading Times for $3,400 & the restoration was $10,000 more. Looks like it was worth it to me!

Did a nice job in restoring it. You also captured it well, shame that you could isolate the car, without the truck in the way.

That car brings back childhood memories. Only if I knew about cars then.
Nice shots. :)

I really like it when owners keep the rallye wheels I know of one guy who spent $1,000 just to get a set of the original tires! Only if I knew about cars then. No time like the present? ;)
