blue1976nova's 1976 Chevrolet Nova This is my 1976 Chevy Nova
These are pictures of the Nova as it looked when I bought it in 2002.

blue1976nova's 1976 Chevrolet Nova This is a picture of my new HID headlight conversion kit at night. I'm think about changing these back to standard sealed beams because they don't aim correctly. 
blue1976nova's 1976 Chevrolet Nova This is my old muffler after it was removed. As you can see there was a large hole in the middle of it. It really needed to be replaced.
blue1976nova's 1976 Chevrolet Nova This is what I replaced the muffler with. A cherry-bomb glass pack. Although not very loud on my 250 it gives the engine a little more kick. And it does have a quiet, low rumble now. To be honest it was the cheapest on they had and I'm poor. I still like it though. 
blue1976nova's 1976 Chevrolet Nova We lived in Meridian, MS during Hurricane Ivan so we came back to Memphis to wait it out. After all that wind and rain I need to take it to the car wash. It was covered with leaves and mud. Here's a pic of my freshly washed Nova!

 

 

UPDATE.

After driving this car unmoddifed for almost 6 years, at 250k miles and 3 quarts of oil a week, it is time to rebuilt the engine. Here are some pictures of it hanging from the engine jack ready to be lowered back in. I decided to keep the 6 cyl because gas is too expensive now days to justify a V8. Maybe someday when the Nova is no longer the daily driver. We've also converted it from a 3 speed on the column to a TH-350 Automatic. We were having trouble out of the 3 speed. It was getting a bit tired.

I have a 76 nova 4 door too. Mine is a Concourse, it is loaded with options. I got mine for about $400, it has appliance wheels that look like Cragars, new tires, I just redid the interior. It has the 250 six motor with auto, I assume a powerglide. Runs really good, I haven't had it on the road yet, I'm working on it, I have a 67 mustang, a 59 studebaker, a 60 valiant and several others, but the stang and nova are my faves. Love you nova, its awesome.
