In the Washington Park area south east of Denver? Still trying to make a communication connection but it would help so much to have someone put peepers on it. Gas and beer money?

I have communication. Still available.
It’s the wagon I’m looking for at a price I can swallow if it’s worth it.

Send me a pm.
I got a plumber coming in Sat morning and my Dad's dialysis at 11:00. I have time after I drop him off but need to be back by 3:30 to pick him up. I'm wide open between those times, though it does depend if the plumber is done at the house, he should be but you never know. If that doesn't work, Sunday is open too.
Now I'm curious
Email from the seller. What do ya’ll think? (Removed some personal stuff)
I’m waiting for some pictures and video he’s talking about. Hopefully he doesn’t promise anything to someone else before we get to look at it. Thanks for the offer. I’m not sure if setting up something for you now would be worth it, unless you’re bored and wanna take that walk anyway
Main thing is bondo obviously. Not sure if it’s a CO original car, salted road conditions, etc. some of that adds up to bondo heavy classics. If there is one bondo spot, there are probably others if they didn’t fix rust correctly.
I put a bid in for a roll over 2016 Mustang Ecoboost. No keys, so they probably didn’t start it which is good. Looked like it was very driveable. I watched it sell for $200 more than my $3,000 bid. That drivetrain is the direction I wanna go if I don’t end up with a completed car. Would be so badass and offensive LMAO

Not much in the way of pictures yet. Super short video of it running, 4 seconds.
I want to see this front suspension he mentioned in the email.
I think a waggy needs tail pipes exit behind the rear wheels. Rear axle/springs looks like stock, from what I remember.

ALL 60s cars need exhaust exit behind the wheels I love how I did my 68 c10. Just depends on fumes.

I thought I had a picture up. He’s of course got some other interested parties but I can’t go jumping on something if it’s not right. He needs more pictures for everyone anyway and says Saturday morning is good. Pic porn for now.
Picture dump.
I’m coming to you all because I know nothing about Novas. My C10 was a project, knew that from the start. Wasn’t worried about my $1200 K5, not much of that purchase left. But the Nova is a different animal. I’m curious about what Ron/Rob find.

All I have at the moment
The rack and pinion is a nice update.
Even thou the prats are modern the front suspension is still old design. Adjustments should be much easier.
The weak spot is here where I circled in red. The unibody frame mount hole for control arm bushings wollows out and won't hold alignment.
Globle west had a cure back when I had Chevy II's.

Another thing Chevy II V8 were are front sump oil pans.
This one is not, Iirc the steering linkage went across at the rear of the engine. So the rack and pinion update allowed the normal rear sump pan.

That’s nice.
Chances are I’ll enjoy whatever I get for a while before adding a different subframe and all new updates suspension. Just need something solid for now, can’t deal with a big project. If it needs too much work off the bat, I’ll probably open a can of MAW and start to hate it haha
