Hi panic.
There are many good places to buy what your looking for. Tomorrow I will find a dealer for you,but, in the meantime,check here.

Its in the central US. Type in NOVA or chevy, under "classics".

thanks for the link, rider, there are some mix interesting ads but are private sellers, i'd better need some well organized dealer so i can, eventually, arrange shipping and all docs in a more comfortable way...

Panic, from all your posts that I've read over the last couple years I can't see you driving a Nova. They can be made into very cool cars especially the '66 & '67 models and there is a pretty good selection of repop and mod parts. But bone stock, they aren't all that much fun to drive. If you get one with a stock front suspension, you'll definately want to check out some of the aftermarket front subframe kits which improve upon some of the original tub design of the front end.

Shop carefully and beware of major, repeat major, rust issues that are common on these bodies. Shop in the southwestern United States if possible.
Also if you didn't know, all early Nova's had drum brakes all around and front discs were optional in '67. So finding one that has already been converted to discs, will be a plus.

If you find one near me, I'll gladly look at it for you. This '64 was at the strip recently and I thought it was worthy of a pic. Clean, straight and very quick.

We are bringing over the helicopter (in my avatar) from England this November for a week, then back. dont know if it would be cheaper to hook up with the owners of it ,for shipping. Panic, a true 66 or 67 ,SS chevy duce will cost you around 20 grand. As someone stated, rust is a big issue with these cars. By the way, I very much enjoyed the article about your corvette gathering, that was in the mags. a while back.

...well, i expect to pay about that amount for a good and clean Nova...
i need some dealer to rely on and be able to trust hands down

...about the helicopter, you mean to load the car on it on return from USA and save the freight?

I have a 63 SS Nova with a built small block. I love it and think it's a really neat car. Gets LOTS of attention, great for cruise nights, kinda fast. That said, it's more fun to drive a Corvette.
