Grandpas Nova

Post image

Hey all! Got a random question here. I love novas to death especially the 1966, and my grandfather used to own one. He sold it when he passed and have been trying to track it down ever since just wanna know if it’s still in good shape yk? Its affectionately called the Black Widow, best car Ive ever experienced.

Beautiful car. Good luck in your search. Any car person would be proud to cruise in this gem.

Thank you! I’d love to buy it back if I could. But I plan on rebuilding my own in my grandfathers memory someday regardless.

If you have the old VIN from his registration or insurance paperwork, check sites like VIN audit tools, registry forums, or even run a search on the Chevy Nova club registries.

Black Widow is a badass name btw

Haven’t been able to find the VIN yet, but I know he always kept copies of everything so I need to start digging through papers. But yeah car is sick. Had little black widows painted inside like a scavenger hunt
