Tell the world a little bit about your vehicle
After about 2 1/2 years of searching for a car I finally found my Nova (I was looking for either a 2nd-3rd Nova or a 1st Gen Camaro). I bought the car Last Fall (fall 2000) I took a drive down to Jersey City, New Jersey to buy the car from Shawn C. The above picture is one of many pictures Shawn sent to me before making the 10 hour trip from Ottawa Ontario Canada to Jersey City New Jersey USA.
It was a nice trip other then the terrible rains I ran into. Oh ya my Father came down for the trip also. I met Shawn's Family and got then sense that I was being interviewed to see what I was going to do with the car to make sure the car was going to a good Family, and ensure that I would love the car as much as Shawn. Well I must of passed the test because Shawn had the same love for the muscle cars as me. I must say, if I haven't already Shawn has a great Family and I am looking forward to taking a trip down to New Jersey again once my car is done. I not only bought a beautiful car but I made friends (you can never have to many friends). He still calls My Nova his "Baby Blue" and we keep in touch all the time. I keep him updated on my project as I go along. This web page is going to be a bit of a project update for Shawn and a record of my restoration.
What was the car like?? Well I would say awesome if it was an Canadian car however, it did have its minor problems. One being the damaged fender that I have to replace. And the rear quarters needed to be replaced also. All is all a great car to start with.
