    Your collection is real kool. I didn't any speak of chambered exhaust lately. My neighbor down the road from me had a 375 hp SS chevelle. He bought new.in 69 . I was 10 years old in 1970 and thought it sounded so cool I wanted one when I got older. Well I had a dozen chevelles since and still have a 68 SS BB for the past 40 years.

    As I said before this man save these cars we all can see them. But now I'm thinking who is going to save them from him as they set and rot? Even rustic and worth a lot more now than what they were when they were in decent shape about 25 years ago. Speaking in generalities. Thanks for bringing these cars into your episodes so we can see them.

      @@bk-yg9yw I hadn't heard about the 10 grand for the nova. But I've seen many novas bring well into the 30s up to around 45. Now I'm not saying that's the standard for the price. I kind of like some of the first generation Camaros and firebird. Those prices are probably out the window on them too. The older guys care more about number matching more than the majority does nowadays. Any base car can be made into a clone or tribute now with aftermarket.

      @@bk-yg9yw I checked it out. Left him a comment on his reply. Basically unless you just have to have a car with some kind of pedigree as far as numbers go. Find yourself something that has a decent tub and subframe and just build it from there. I've seen in just one yard on one RUclips episode a dozen of these novus and together you can build four rollers easy out of them. But like I told this fella I'm not going to undercut the hose. I actually have like a 71 Nova hatchback it started life is a V6. But it's got one of those advanced options now called engine delete haha. Been sitting in the barn for a long time. Yeah we actually have one of those things we call Barns. And any old heat I got I'll be glad to put in the barn and if it's dry enough or stir up some dust and you can scoop it up and scattered across the car and pull it out and make it look real good. A little tongue in cheek sarcasm. Not about the number of vehicles I got and not about the old barn

      I'm not sure where you were at in the '80s. But I wish I travel through there. These are the cars that we drove. You know kids get cards are 10 to 20 years old and drive them. We tore up a million dollars of cars before they were worth it. I remember Lewis had a 396 cowl induction Chevelle and ran it through a ditch. He bent the frame! Nothing else was hurt and he sold $200. Of course my first truck was a 1962 Chevy p100 for it. We didn't see these cars has junk but we sure did jump a lot of them up.
