Hi Stiles , I"m helping my brother rich restore his nova he bought in 1970, yes he is the origonal owner. Its stock from the factoryand has been garage kept all these years. He ordered it with a 350 high performance engine,350turbo trans,and positraction rear. He decided to make it look like new,and its being worked on ,The nova is 95% finished. 7 months and alot of $$$ his dream is almost a reality. The only problem he is having is locating is body moulding retainer clips. Cant find them anywhere.The car has already been painted and to late to grind off tips. You don"t happen to have any around your not using. When the nova is finished hope to be able to post a photo. Good luck on your car and safe driving. Larry D.
