Default OT:1967 Nova SS Marina Blue PICS

Picked up a 67 Nova SS a couple weeks ago after seeing it at a Super Chevy Show. It also won the stock class at the show. I had been looking one a couple years and gave up and started looking a 69 Corvette convertible when this one surfaced.
It is a numbers matching 118 V8 SS, Marina blue with Bright blue deluxe interior. Restored stock original, unmolested NC car, no rust, clean all over, (no undercoating hiding anything) very hard to find like this. Runs and drives great. Very nice addition to my collection. Thanks for looking.

When you're ready, there is a nice blue/black 66 L79 clone near me. Very nice but has a couple minor issues that bothered me. Jeff

Very nice car.
I've always had a weakness for that body style. This one was mine. It's still running. Very low miles and only driven on Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!

Beautiful! That car came down my Chassis Line when I was a Production Foreman at Willow Run - but then they all looked the same from underneath when they were six feet off the floor.

Jeff,

Very nice. I have always liked the 66-67. My late brother in-law had one just like it same color and all except it was a 4 speed when I was dating Becky (lots of years ago). I should have bought it when he sold it. You buy some really nice cars.

Jeff

Thanks everyone for all the compliments and thanks to Dave for riding out again to pick up another blue Chevy. You're up next, Dave.
I like the BFG T/A's, but thinking hard about some DB redlines. Anyone got any 14" redline radials they're not using???

I'm ready... It took two years to find the 66, two years to find the 87... I see a trend.. You know me always looking. You have to let me get behind the wheel of that little beaut... That will make me want to run out and buy one..

Default Great score!

Very nice Jeff! As others have said, my fav body style for the Nova. Not surprised at the color.

I'm assuming it's a 327 but what does the 118 mean?
