Well I bet you paid a pretty penny for it then! and btw most american cars actually come with skim coats of bondo from the factory in certain area's for contour.

My dad bought it from his friend over 30 years ago with a 454 BB and a Muncie 4 speed for $4500, so not really and the car was MINT.

You must be pretty dumb if you think that 4500 30 Years ago wasn't much. Thirty years go $4500 would buy you the same as $19228.40 today, this I would consider a pretty penny and I hope you don't expect me to believe that this nova came with a 454 because I would definetly call bs on that, not to mention a 454 in a nova is a bad idea unless he back halfed it. Those of you who know about old school american muscle know exactly what I am talking about and why. The best motors for those nova's was either the 400 Small Block or 396, bbc's in nova's without back halving them is just plain dumb.


P.S. Who's car is it anyways kido Daddy's or yours?

"you mean 4wd/AWD"

No, I meant FWD. I hate FWD. I love AWD/RWD.

Look motherfucker, I'm really sick and tired of you going around this board calling people kids and shit saying we should respect you. You know what fuck you. Ok so what 4500 was a lot a long time ago, I guess so, but my dad didn't have a problem paying it. No the motor didn't come in the car it actaully came with a 307 from the factory. I'm glad you know so much yet you drive a turd 5th gen Prelude, maybe you can come school me and my dad who has been building Chevy's all his life.

P.S. bitch, the car is MINE, you know one of those hand me down the family type things like I'll give it to my son one day, I was actually given the car when I was 12 to be completely honest with you. My dad said I'm gonna give you this car so when you have your license you can drive it.

Heres a cookie.

Rb26 is AWD

Unless I made a typo I said RB25, which is just a RWD R33 skyline motor - 2.5l I6. It's becoming a popular 240sx swap

That's all some guy at my work said he was gonna do to his 240. I called bullshit and he still hasn't done it.
