MisterC's "Project Luigi" Thread

[MisterC]

I had been having some fuel issues so I removed the gas tank to clean it out. I got it back in this weekend and drove it today to check the results. No improvement I'm on to carb and/or fuel pump issues.

While it's been down, I started sanding on the primer to see what was really underneath that the previous owner felt compelled to cover up. I'm bringing back the factory striping first and have yet to see any damage under it. I wonder how much of the factory saddle color is still under there. Additionally,I've finally trimmed the lip on bumper so it mates well with the rear of the bed and I leveled it out. It sat low on the driver's side before being trimmed.

Lastly is an old Nova that I spotted yesterday that I'm trying to pickup for my daughter. She turns 16 in February and it would be a great project for us to work on together. It is litterally owned by a grandma. Has a 250 six cylinder with 2 speed powerglide. Amazing shape and she already put Vintage air in it to keep her cool. Anyone have an idea what it's worth? I'm clueless on what's a fair price.

Hey the truck is looking good!! As for the Nova, it really depends on a lot of things. Do some internet searching on CL and other sites to get an idea of what they are selling for. I recently purchased a one owner 1964 Nova 2 door "post" car with 82K original miles for 4K. It was in the old lady's garage and she only drove it occasionally. It is really hard to tell with these Novas but that wagon is SWEET! I was looking at those before I found this survivor sitting in a garage right by my house. I saw CLEAN wagons go anywhere from 4K - 10K and beyond. If you get the wagon let me know, we can hit up the Nova cruises sometime



Here is the car on Steve's Nova Site:

I love that generation Nova Wagon.
I still can't remember why I passed on one I looked at in 1989.
It was still the original white, with a 327.
It drove so nice and had the perfect old car smell.
He only wanted $1200.
