I have a 1973 Nova that i wouldn't trade for anything. I love this car i have had it for 5 years now and have had no problems out of it. Don't get me wrong they are not the type of cars you can drive forever and just not take care of them, you have to keep it up and make sure all of your fluid levels are good. Just regular everyday stuff, like tune ups and basic stuff. If I were you I wouldn't turn it down.
