My goodness! At last census, the population of Maryville, south of Knoxville, is just short of 30,000 people. I wonder how many of them look as lovely as this lady.\\nAnyway, the blue Nova that\\u2019s for sale behind her isn\\u2019t anything to scoff at either, and looks just as sweet as the model does in this photo, don\\u2019t you think? Dipped in Grotto blue paint, this \\u201868 is an excellent example of an early third generation Nova.&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.racingjunk.com\\\/news\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2017\\\/10\\\/Screen-Shot-2017-10-23-at-9.52.33-AM.png&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;45128&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;What Should I Be Paying?&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Muscle Car Madness: Chevy Nova&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Hagerty.com lists the average value of a 1968 Chevrolet Nova at $15,000. You\\u2019re not going to get a car like the one pictured here for that price, but it\\u2019s fun to dream, right? The \\u0026#8217;68 Nova in the first photo scored a 97 out of 100 at a Super Chevy Car Show. That\\u2019s not easy to do! Hey, but that doesn\\u2019t mean you can\\u2019t find yourself a Nova that suits your wants. Maybe a car that would score a 60 out of a 100 at a car show. Let\\u2019s have a look at what\\u2019s in store for buyers shopping for a third generation Nova, whether it\\u2019s like Smoky Mountain Traders\\u2019 or another example you\\u2019ll find.&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.racingjunk.com\\\/news\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2017\\\/10\\\/Screen-Shot-2017-10-23-at-9.55.21-AM.png&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;45130&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;What to Look For When Buying a 68-74 Nova&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Muscle Car Madness: Chevy Nova&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;\\u2022\\tIf you\\u2019re shopping for a \\u201868 SS, you\\u2019re going to want to make sure it has more than just the fender badges that prove it. One clue is to look at the suspension. The 1968 SS has \\u201cfinned\\u201d front drum brakes. Standard Nova\\u2019s had non-finned drums.\\n\\u2022\\tIf you\\u2019re looking at the \\u201869-\\u201971 model year, it\\u2019s good to know that the SS came with power front disc brakes.\\n\\u2022\\tLook to see that the last 6 digits of the VIN code are stamped on the block of the engine. Don\\u2019t stop there though. There should also be an application code stamped on the block. If it matches up to an SS motor, then you have a true SS car.\\n\\u2022\\t1972 is the first model year that General Motors coded the original engine number with the VIN# on a Chevrolet Nova.&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.racingjunk.com\\\/news\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2017\\\/10\\\/Screen-Shot-2017-10-23-at-9.54.05-AM.png&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;45129&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Fast Forward to Today&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Muscle Car Madness: Chevy Nova&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Many sources online believe that the third generation Chevy Nova is still a great muscle car that remains affordable today.
