[QUOTE="Catt57, post: 3315287, member: 34578"] 1971 Chevy nova 4 door. It was a straight 6. You could get it to 95 MPH, going downhill, with a strong tail wind. No AC, no radio, vinyl seats (real fun in the summer). Thermostat would stick every year. Pull the thermostat in the spring when it stuck, put a new one in when winter hit so it had heat. Plus side was it would run no matter what.... Water in the carb, still runs. Thermostat issues, pull it and keep going. Rear-end a Honda hard enough to crumple the rear bumper into the rear tires, drove the Nova home with only a slight crinkle in the hood and passenger fender. Spark plug wire broke, keep driving. Alternator goes out, jump start it and drive it 10 miles home. This isn't it, but this is what it looked like, only mine had steel rims.
