GM and the things they forgot in marketing.I had a 69 Nova with a 3-speed stick. Small block 350, edelbrock manifolds, thrush glaspacks for "mufflers" - basically enything with a cool window sticker got added "Big fat tires and everything..." I didn't work on cars though. My buddy did and I provided the parts and smoke.
I found out that th Nova was never popular in Mexco because the name translates to no va in Spanish - "it doesn't go"
