 1967 Chevrolet Chevy II Nova
May 19, 1997: Above is a picture of our '67 Nova, "Bluebelle." We got her picture in Nova Times in April '95 and she continues to be a good reliable old car! As you can see from the picture she has a poor paint job (Actually it's just blue tinted primer! I haven't even to disquise any of the minimal rust on the car; you can see a little rot on lower front fender in the snapshot.) The picture was taken with a Kodak DC-50 digital camera. Not bad, eh? (I work for Kodak and have one for doing tech documentation in my job as a product development technician.)

We are the second owners of Bluebelle. She spent her first 20-years making one trip a year back-and-forth between Rhode Island and Florida. At 20 years of age (in 1986 when we got her), she had 40,000 miles on her odometer and came with a Florida title! We love the old girl and have taken good care of her for the past 11 years, but it's time she found a home with someone who has a garage for her to spend the winters in and who is willing to invest in a little body and paint work. She now has 92,000 miles (24K on a professional re-build to the original 195-horse 283). I am just getting ready to call the shop to schedule her for her 3rd set of upper ball-joints, otherwise everything mechanical is in excellent shape:

    Excellent original PowerGlide (serviced every 24K since '86)
    4 Goodrich Radials on Olds Rally rims
    The cleanest original carpet you'll find
    2 complete sets of original seats (both need upholstery)
    ACCEL blueprint distributor
    Dealer-installed A/C (needs new clutch)
    COMPLETE documentation:

      Copy of Florida Title (NY State took the original!)
      Window Sticker
      Owner's Manual
      Protect-O-Plate
      Original Bill-of-Sale
      Build Card
      Nova Accessories book
I have virtually every original part that I've replaced since 1986 including things like radio, shocks, (original?) dist. cap, gauge senders, etc. Even the windshield washers work!
