When I was growing up we had a '72 (or there about) Nova. It had a 3 in the tree. It was nothing special but a good reliable car.

My uncle also had a Nova, it was special. There was no indication on the body but it was an SS. It looked and sounded like any other car until you reved it up and heard the growl.

The track bars and big fat tires kind of gave it away though. :)

I had an 87 van years ago. After a while the speedometer broke. I replaced it a few times and gave up on it. It had 550,000 Km then and it was still running great when I sold it along with the route it was doing a couple years later.
