My dad had some of those back in the 70s/80s.

I still see a older lady daily driving a 1972 Nova sedan with the "Custom" option. Its green on green on green.

It kinda looks like this one, but this is a 1968 Nova sedan with the Custom option. Rare to see one with the Custom option package, which added nicer interior and extra chrome... I really like this one...

Do you have a brochure for the 69 models with the custom exterior?

On my 69 Nova, when we got it, it had the chrome piece that goes between the tail lamps and it had the full sized hub caps on it. On the inside the brake and accelerator pedals were out fitted with chrome, but beyond that it was a 6 cylinder powerglide model.

My dad bought a fully restored 1965 Nova SS back in the mid 90's. Had a built 327 making about 425 horsepower and even came with the original 283 engine on the side.

That was a pretty awesome car.

Anyone remember the '64 thru '67 V8 front sump oil pan and the different engine block unique to the Chevy II?

Anybody recognize the city where the '68 is in the brochure? It looks sort of familiar but I can't place it.

Probably it's Detroit, that would make sense, but?

Would love an early Chevy II, tubbed with a turboed small block. Something that would be streetable and dip into the 9's at the strip.

The one building in the brochure looks kind of like the Caddilac building in the "D"

I have a '66 2 door hardtop Chevy II. My wife and I loved the car,but we had a wreck in it in '96. It's been behind my parent's house ever since. I will get around to fixing it someday,but I've said that for years.

That was a great car,and I've owned several other Novas over the years also.
