The car runs great. It's easy enough to drive, but honestly, it's quick on the throttle and it definitely gets your attention immediately when on the gas.

Here's a video walk around of the car running (click on link below or cut and paste to your browser):

Car is located inSaskatchewan, Canada (north of North Dakota/Montana). TFX Transport can pick the car up here, clear customs for you (no duty or taxes) and drop it off at your door. I can help with logistics, but I'm not transporting the car. FYI, TFX is a regular transport company for major US collector car auctions.

If you want an uber-cool, bad to the bone, absolutely Mint Nova, this is it. I have touched pretty much every nut, bolt and washer on this car. If you have any questions or need photos of anything else, feel free to contact me.

Price is $89,500 US dollars (Firm + No Trades). It will cost more than this to duplicate the car. Currently, there is less than two hours running time on the Nova.The car is stunning in person and speaks for itself.
