I buy the car and another engine swap

Steve reached a point where he decided that he wanted a Pontiac rather than a Nova.
And he wanted to put the fresh motor into his 77 Chevy 3/4 ton pickup.
So I offered to buy the Nova and put the truck's 350 motor in it.

Here's Steve preparing to remove the motor from the pickup.

And here's the fresh 357 in the pickup, all ready to go.

And here's the truck motor back in the Nova.

The right rear quarter panel had a little rust problem.

I kinda cheated. I ground out the rust, slapped some fiberglass cloth and resin on and smoothed it with Bondo. Not the best way to go, but it doesn't look quite so rough.

This car, along with the blue 68 Nova was sold to a woman in New Jersey and was delivered in May 2002. I can't say that I miss either of them very much.
