classic cars, muscle cars, future classics

They sit where I use to sit…

My name is Doug Lynch and I have a 1974 Nova. My  grandparents purchased it in 1974 from Ferman Chevy in Tampa Fl. My grand mother  used to take me to kindergarten in the car and a lot of other places. the car  was originally brown with matching wheels and dog dish hub caps. the interior  was beige also. The paint was really bad so I decided to go black on  black. The car had a 250 straight six engine with a whopping 100 hp. my  grandmother was getting old and was tired of driving so she sold it to me  for a dollar! When I got the car it only had 38,000 miles on it and never was on  the interstate. Well, I thought it was kinda slow so I took out the 6 and put in  a 305 out of a Camaro. after about 2 years I heard a knocking and decided to  pull that one out and put in a 327 out of a 65 vette! The engine was torn all  the way down and rebuilt and painted. Now its even more fun. Now my two boys sit  in the same spot I did when I was there age.

    Nice ride and it’s even cooler that it’s been in your family the whole time!
