Beautiful! I'm intent on holding on to my car, but at 71 I doubt it and I will make it another 38 years!
Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

Happy Birthday Galen's Nova. Don't let him feed you too much birthday cake! You'll get fat and he'll trade you in for a thinner model.

It's a fine looking ride Galen. I really like the color combo AND the wheel/tire package.💯😎

Impressive that you've held on to it all these years! Is that the dealership where you purchased your 50-year-old child?
I've owned my '65 Mustang for 49 years. Hard to believe that many years have passed.

I’ve had my 1976 Nova Concours 22 years, it has the 4bbl 350; 350 TH transmission and the “performance” 3:08 posi rear end. 12,448 were this medium orange. Thanks for posting your 50 year old Nova, Galen, it looks great.
