Should I trade?

[JET]

If it was something more special I would say go for it, but a '73 Nova isn't exactly a collectors car. They were cheap as hell back then and they sold a ton of them. I am sure it isn't a real SS as I am quite sure they didn't make them in 73 either.

The one thing ive ben thinking lately is how much easier it would be to work on that car or many others out there. I have pulled just about everything out of my bay i can find and there still isnt as much room.
-keep the dsm or get some cash to

If the interior and body are really nice i'd trade, although i have no idea how much $ you have in your car either. I really like those old muscle cars, if it were a GTO I'd trade in a heartbeat.

Id trade for a charger, but i still need some form of forced induction

The motor is a big block from an older 60's nova, but they did in fact make the ss in '73. I did a quick briefing on the differences between each year earlier today.

Ok I think what I'll do is hold off on the nova mainly because like some of you said, it isn't the practical car I'm looking for. I know when I get older I'd like to restore an old muscle car of some sort, and I guess I just got a little excited. I'll keep the dsm up for sale for now.

Thanks for all the helpful comments.

^ Well if the GSX is your main ride and you're debating on trading your GSX for a new main ride, the NOVA... then NO I wouldn't trade either. A NOVA like that isn't practical for a daily car these days. Ya, a '73 isn't exactly considered a collector either.

I wouldn't do it in a million years. Even if it was a real SS, they would've only come with a 200hp small block at best and it wouldn't be worth two squirts of piss anyways. There's just nothing special about that car and you'd be fixing it twice as much as your DSM. The Nova looks like about a $5000 car to me.

^Well it does have a late 60's big block in it and I've been told it's pretty quick by some other friends. But your opinion means a lot to me steve, thanks

Late 60's big blocks don't mean squat unless it's something special like a ZL1, LS6, LS7 or L88. They were commonly used in trucks as well with small heads and low compression. If it had aluminum heads and some decent pistons, it might be fast.
