Welcome to CHR. What Don said. You never know what you are inheriting. In my case dangerous brakes and old rear axle, shot motor welded in wrong, but well! Getting one with a factory frame built by a specialty shop, or in rolling chasis form, that someone abandoned might be your best option. Then you have a place to refernce parts from, otherwise it can be difficult identifying modifications and replacing stuff as needed. Sounds like a fun project!

I'm with everone on this but I also have to say.....doing it yourself make it your own! I like 'Itoldyouso's mention of partially built. There are a lot of unfortunate souls out there going through financial problems, divorces, or just plain burned out. Should be able to find one that has been started. Just be weary about one that covered up in primer. Cant see what they did underneath.

A perfect example. I'm looking at a 67 Nova right now. The price is an absolute bargain....and the guy has already swapped a 408/700R4 and put a Alston front stub with disc brakes. The car has been bead blasted and is still bare....exposing the nasty holes in the floor and rockers. At least I'll know what I'm in for. Thinking about building this for my son.

Sounds like a great car for a teenager! I'd have loved a classic nova in highschool!
