[@kevinsparks9373]

Good job! Great video.

[@Charlie_Prinz]

Awesome Nova and great work getting her going again! I liked the information about the different GM key cylinders and how to remove them. Thanks.,

[@clydepodvin5026]

Well at first they didn't want to sell it to me until they had to move it to another location because of the city code enforcement. Got to get it get it done

Good job buddy 👍

[@PapaRazaa]

I didn’t even hear the fan until you said something about it. If it’s okay keeps you cool, aye rock with it 😎

[@RpmAuto]

Well a couple people have said the background noise was loud and they couldn't hear the commentary. It's been hot here where I'm at 89 to 90 something degrees. On top of these damn mosquitoes. But I'm glad you didn't have a problem with it.

[@PapaRazaa]

@@RpmAuto watched every second of this video. Love these types of videos.

Snakes and you thinking about going in thru the back seat :))

[@stevenberlinsky3550]

that thing works the buzzer

[@RpmAuto]

Yeah I found out

[@Memphisgrindtv]

She sound healthy too

[@BrokenWrenches]

They weren’t use crap gas back in 2000. Rubber could sit with good old gas for a long time…. Cool car tho.

[@Nova.1971]

This will be a nice project for someone if you sell it...well done.

[@RpmAuto]

I already sold it

[@Nova.1971]

@@RpmAuto Cool but I will still watch the rest of the videos on it and others you have up.

[@freedomhillbilly348]

Those key cylinders come apart. You can remove, or change the wafers or simply rekey a blank to the existing wafers. I've also been able to get replacement keys at the dealer with the VIN number and proof of ownership. Another alternative that I actually prefer is to remove all but one wafer and this allows any key blank to be used, but keeps the key in place. Then again I leave my key in the vehicle and never risk losing it.

[@joeclark7082]

I don't think those are factory rims for a non-ss nova. Those door panels look to be in good shape. The backing is plastic and they are easy to break so be careful when you remove them. Unless you want to recover those bench seats, clean them with warm (dawn) soapy water and slather them with Vaseline/petroleum jelly and let it sit for a couple of weeks. This will rehydrate the vinyl and it won't start to crack when you sit on it.

[@RpmAuto]

I think the rims are Pontiac Ventura rims

[@jimmiejohnson1404]

Hey whats up man love your channel!!!! Where are u from? Im from the Memphis area an i have a 1974 chevy nova im looking to build

[@unchained20000000]

you still got it or did you flip it for profit? she's in extremely nice original condition for an outside find.

[@RpmAuto]

One of my buddies buy it from me. And he hasn't done nothing with it

[@michaelperez6355]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@krabenaldt7605]

You know the worst thing to do an engine that has been sitting for a long time is to start it. The oil needs to be circulated before starting and there are a couple of ways to do that. The engine in less than a couple thousand miles will throw bearings.

[@camaroboi13]

Oh well, it’s 140 bucks for a donor engine. Never “circulated oil” before starting a car. Drop some trans fluid, turn it over a few times, then fire it up. All my bearings lasted more than a couple thousand miles. Sorry you had bad luck with yours.

[@Memphisgrindtv]

Dirt cheap you say👀

[@unchained20000000]

She was originally yeller.

[@joeclark7082]

sandalwood was the factory name for that color

[@williepotts2185]

I didn't see a 72 nova. I'm sure he said 72.

[@RpmAuto]
