There were a couple of Nova's
My mom had a 72 Nova as well. She bought it brand new when she went to college. Spring Green with black interior. 307 motor too. I was in it when it rolled 300k on the original motor and tranny. My dad sold it for $500 when I was 13 because the starter went out. He kept a 1976 Ford Granada POS instead. That Grenada fell apart over the next 2 years (literally) and they had to send it to the scrap heap. It serves him right. That Nova was supposed to be mine when I turned 16. If you can't tell, I'm still bitter. I loved that car. 72 Nova's will always be special to me. I learned to change tires, do brakes, etc on that thing.

originally i had a 68 4 dr 4 cyl nova. i s..t you know it had 15,000 original miles!
it was my great uncles he did in Vietnam. there was a car and truck both my uncle got the chevy truck 73 i think one of those funny ones standard on the column.
the car sat under a spruce tree rusted around the back window. wasn't leaking but rusted badly. and the section between the tail lights was gone. but the rest was mint!
underneath was just like off the show room floor!
i wish not i kept it and restored it. big regrets there...
