I am new to this forum and I am from TX...currently in Iraq and glad to be here.
My father had a 78 Nova he bought new. I loved that car and told myself i will love to have one one day. Fast forward 30 years...here I am working on my lil Air Cooled VW bug (my other passion), my wife pulled up in the driveway telling me she found her classic car! I told myself, cannot be a bug because she do not like them (cannot drive manual). She tells me to get on her car, she was going to show me where the car was and inmediatly asked when can we pick it up. I was like whoaa! Lets see how the car looks, can we? She agrees...while in route she is telling where 'her' car will park and for me to move some of my junk! :shock: out of the garage in order to fit her car in there...she do not want it to be under the weather. By now I am stepping on the gas in order to hurry up and end what it seems a 'bad dream'.
To make a long story short: I will like to restore it for her to drive. Keep the 305 with perhaps, a bigger cam or something that can keep her along with traffic, etc., etc.
I will ask all the stupid questions later on.
I just wanted to introduce myself...here is what her 78 EL Camino looks like:
