My first was a ‘73 Buick Apollo that looked a lot like the Nova in that picture. I bought it from my oldest sister for $500 in 1980.
My mom’s favorite car is a baby blue ‘78 Impala that she has driven for 30 years now. She is giving it away tomorrow and I think she is in shock. I hope she doesn’t start crying.
Best of luck to her, after 30 years, it's got to be like giving up a loved one!
The Apollo was a Nova clone, I bought my Nova in '74 for 600 bucks. It was totally ragged out! It had a 230 ci 6 cylinder and a two speed automatic with vinyl bench seats.
At least it ran.
