I seen only one rust free Nova in my life, and it was parked by the road in my town with a "for sale" sign, I stopped and looked at it, (this was in 1995), it was a 1968, L6/3sp on the tree/bench/beige paint, no VT, 60k miles, they wanted 5k for it, so...out of my price range. My personal 68' Nova was not that bad on rust but all the common spots where still growing, mine was silver/blk VT, deluxe interior (same as SS) bucket seats, non a/c, it was originally ash gold with a black VT from factory, my family bought in 1981 and I started driving it in 1986, and sold it in 2004. I had a 350, Muncie 4 sp, 9" w 3.50 gears. It was fun, but I hated the rust. It was an orig. L6/powerglide. I had an 1986 Monte Carlo SS I was restoring, so I pulled the engine I built that was in the Nova and put it in my MCSS. I sold the Nova body w/4speed (minus engine) for $1k in 2004, to a friend.

Dang. That was kinda high priced back then. I’ve never owned a 68. Yet. Yeah. Rust sucks but I can live with some as long as I can drive and enjoy the car. Thanks for watching.

@@Shop209 Something good to know is that a 9" from a late 60's Cougar/Mustang will practically bolt in place. I did this in my 68 Nova, I used traction bars for the lower u bolt plate/shock mount, the only real difference is the u joint, and wheel bolt pattern. Brake lines bolt up, e-brake cable fit, flange to flange was less than an inch difference overall, and the spring perch mount hole on the housing needs to be enlarged just a little bit and it will drop right on the orig. mono leaf, just change the u-joint to fit the Nova driveshaft. It's like the FORD engineers and GM engineers where working on the same drafting table!

Make a circle track street car out of it. cut out the dash and put in a aluminum panel for you gages and switches, pair of poly seats, roll bar, fuel cell, replace all the rubber body and suspension mounts with polyurethane, add a rear sway bar, upgrade the front sway bar, set of bassett D hole wheels with 305 50 15 tires. And last, a healthy sbc in front of a super t10. O yea, paint it black and call it the intimidator.

Well at least it's well on its way to being weight deleted. How many years back would you have gone and said this thing no way 😤? It amazes me now what is a builder, even for the track. I would go back and say 10 years ago. This car will not even been a parts car. I'm just amazed. But I realize that these cars are getting older like us humans are everyday.
