It's the first time since 1973 that there hasn't been a Nova or Chevy II in my family. It started with a '73 Nova SS that my Dad bought new,then my Mom had a '79 which she drove until 1990.
I bought a '73 Nova hatchback in 1988,but then a nice '70 model came up for sale later that year. I bought it,but then a '66 two door coupe came up for sale just a few months later only 30 miles away. I sold the '73,but then I mothballed the '70 eventually selling it to a cousin of a friend.
I loved my '66. I drove the snot out of it for many years,but I took care of it too. My wife and I wrecked it one night when a girl had stalled her S10 in the middle of the highway. She was trying to crank the truck so she had the headlights off. The truck I was following turned off, and there was the S10 stalled in the road. I couldn't stop in time,and the rest is history. Wiped out the whole front end including a brand new 4 core radiator.
I should've let it go a lot sooner,but I just couldn't make myself do it. My parents are moving,and we're having to trim down our collection of cars and other assorted stuff. I went down last week and cleaned out some parts I had stored in the car. The buyer came yesterday,and got my car. My Dad had a '67 4 door that he sold to the same guy also.
I was glad I didn't see the car leave. It had to be done,but it was still tough!!
